I'm amazing how many medical people think Hubby is a retired radiologist or something, but then he sometimes reads the scans and X-rays better than they do. Once he was in an X-Ray suite waiting for a process, and a couple of people were discussing another x-ray. Hubby, being nosy, moved his head and said "That spine looks like mine." Instead of properly telling him to mind his own business, the tech said, "The surgeon said it didn't look good, but I'm not seeing it." Hubby pointed out the bad sections, and they all chatted about radiology for a while.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I get kinda freaked out when the doctors ask me for how much drugs to give me. It's in my files! And for the life of me I can't remember if it's 10 of compazine and 30 of toradol, or the other way around. On the other hand, I'm upping myself to 50 of benadryl, so maybe they shouldn't ask. And, seriously, if someone walks in off the street and says she wants two doses of 4mg of dilaudid, should you listen? I've been told not.
Then again, nurses, I do like it when you ask what order to give the meds in, and I do wish I got more input into how you administer them. It's just weird where they imply I am affecting things and where it's a purely professional call.

Dude, I can't bear when they ask "How are you??" at the ER. I would boggle unduly at that.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Congratulations, Kristin! That's definitely good news!

Well deserved, Kristin. Congratulations.
I hope it's a really cool chair, like this one.
This seems more appropriate for an English chair.
Or, this one.
No, wait. This one is more grand.
