The other day Dr. Man and I were carpooling to work and I asked him about his upcoming day. He had [Specialty] Clinic that day, which I thought sounded like fun. (As an aside, it probably isn’t but the name sounds funny and vaguely wrong.) I told him that and he elaborated on the scheme of the place and about the types of patients he sees there.
He said that most of his patients could be divided up into two groups: Those with Type A Chronic Problem and those with Type B Chronic Problem.
Hmm, I said, Sounds like a fairly good set up. Possibly boring, though.
He responded with: It mostly is, I guess, but there is this vampire I treat…
Well, that makes things more interesting. 🙂
Um… any more details forthcoming?!
Psych Post Doc: It most certainly does.
Cath: Well, after that he got out of the car to head in for clinic and left me with my mouth open. Later he told me that one of the patients he sees has porphyria, which is a disease that could be the origins of the vampire myth.
and is the vampire a type A or type B??
Wayfarer Scientista: I almost spit my wine all over my keyboard. Thanks for the laugh!
Perhaps Dr. Man should bring some garlic with him to clinic…just in case! 🙂
