What do you pay to assuage uncertainty?
The day before yesterday, I was in the ER as a patient.
I had a small penis problem.
This gave me lots of hours to come up with that joke, and to stare at my vitals.
All paled in comparison to the heart attack I got from looking at the bill.
Ok, that joke only took a few minutes.
I’ll spare you the details.
When I wasn’t the one on the table, I found suspension of belief useful.
Skepticism.
If you’ve ever tried to diagnose a difficult case, you’ll know why it caught on with a physician.
