One of our patient has been struggling with hiccups ever since his surgery. Everything we've tried, medical tricks and home remedies (you know... pinch your nose, drink upside down, etc), failed to make them go away completely.
His PCP called to check on him the other night.
ring ring...
May: "Good evening, how can I help you?"
Dr. Exaggerate: "Good evening, this is Dr. E. I was just calling to check on my patient."
May: "Well sir, medically he's doing wonderfully. He is however, still struggling a bit with the hiccups."
Dr. Exaggerate: "Struggling?! He's damn near dying from them!!"
....... What's your specialty sir? I can introduce you to some dying patients if you'd like.
