RE: along with the wellness
Oh lord you have this as well over there do you? Yes we also have Wellman and Wellwoman clinics over here. All they are is very expensive people that tell you what you knew anyway and charge you for it. Of course things get harder as you get older, it's called old age! Nothing new there then.
Yes of course routine screening can detect some cancers early, we all know that, and that is good, but it's these "lifestyle consultations" that waste your time and get me angry. Yes, we all drink and smoke too much, we are all overweight and don't take enough exercise etc etc etc. We all know that, if I wrote that out and presented my bill to them, would they pay it?
Do what I do. Use your doctors for your benefit, don't let them use you for theirs.

Why do doctors have to practice?

Well... I've never been
Well... I've never been offered a flu jab. I think it's because my surname is towards the end of the alphabet and they run out of paper or ink by the time they get beyond P :) Everyone else in my family gets them routinely (because flu would most probably somewhat emphatically do away with them :( which would make me quite a lot sad) and they did get poorly with their first vaccine - but only the first one.
I most probably will be told I should definitely have one this year - but I suspect I will catch it either on the way to the doctors, or whilst I'm in the waiting room. Routine appointments always make me sick you see :) I seem to have a talent for selecting the seat beside the most infectious person (already there, or about to arrive) is/will be in. And then there's the computer thing they like you all to announce your arrival in the surgery at - so the receptionists can blank you 100% of the time instead of just 95% (with the other five involving sighing, swivelling laboriously in their chair and tapping things obstructively before bellowing your prehistoric date of birth at you).
So we dutifully wait for the person that just sneezed over the keyboard to finish announcing their arrival, and the licked lollipop to return to a mouth after completing its explorative button bashing sorty in the world at large (following its visit to the loo). Then we warn the doctor to expect us back in the surgery soon because we've just arrived in it now. :)
edit: Uli it's you!! :)
No you don't.

Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.
RE: And then there's the
Giggle, guffaw, hehehe, oh my word you don't go to my surgery do you?? That just about describes it to a tee!!! We have two po faced women in their mid 50's that could cure VD at 100 yards with one glance. If you want an appointment it helps to go in with a crutch, an arm in a sling, two black eyes, and a fair limp. On a good day you might see the practice nurse in a fortnight with a bit of luck.
I think that they breed them in the waste container in the car park, behind the obligatory 4x4 parked there all day, next to the BMW.

Okay, I should point out that
Okay, I should point out that both my place of employment and my overall health condition put me in the high risk group, which is why my doc always wants me to get the shot. I should probably also admit (to myself, first of all) that the time between when I got the shot and got sick that one time was too short for proper cause and effect -- I had probably already been exposed before the shot.
I used to have a cat like that. I'd take her in for something and a few days later she'd be sneezing. A lot.

I did once work where there was a Front Desk Dragon. We got on like a house on fire. No, really. An actual house burning down to the stumps. In emergency departments we have Gate B***h. I reckon they should be clearly marked by a zone of those short stand-up black-writing on bright-yellow plastic signs. Let's not forget the brilliant David Walliams :

These are very good. Educational even. You should keep these. Not to be too modest... it is this kind of... quality, *mute snorting einsteinians* I strive to achieve with my every post here.

Yes. Like poor Franz Reichelt:-
and his deadly coat parachute, which failed to operate as expected.
I'm pretty sure if I had jumped off the Eiffel tower wearing it, it would have operated exactly how I expected - but then again, I'm no expert.
Oh.
Yes, well erm... I can understand why but... you can sometimes change people's moods with a smile...

And now for today's clue!

In twenty years time they'll be saying who was that guy ? William Davidson ? But we will remember the oval face, the flowing hair, the loud glasses, the hunched posture, the devastating fashion statement, the manic fixation, the pout & sneer, and then the punchline. Like Monty Python we will know it through and through. It became an office joke as soon as we saw it. We still toss it about too. I have heard it morphed to "Printer says no ..." :-)

After my decades of theoretical and experimental physics I have been working on this theory and as long as you promise not to let the public see this I will show it to you (remember I have a Desert Eagle)
This may solve the problem of us traveling at the speed of light so we can at least look around our galaxy to go where no man has has gone before!
