The next decade....what's in store?

Encounter with the Ortho doc

I should have a category called dreams because quite a few of my entries are about dreams.

This one that I had about 10 days ago involved a Grenadian Orthopedic consultant who works in Jamaica, whose cousin coincidentally was my doctor while I lived in Grenada. Now because time had passed, I don't remember all of the details, but this is what I do remember.

In real life, I am having some pains which my "Guyanese" doctor seems to feel is musco-skeletal and so he gave me a referral to this Ortho doc. Well, neither time nor money allowed me to see him before I left The Rock. Moreso money, for his fee is J$6,500 a visit, but if you've been to him before it's J$5,000. I HAVE been to him before, but the wife (receptionist) say that if it's over X years ago, one has to pay the higher fee. And yes, I went to see him over X years ago. The diagnosis for that problem was Plantar Faschitis (Dr D, please correct the spelling for me).

Anyway, back to dreamland.

He examines me for the specific problem that Guyanese doctor referred me for. Then I tell him that there are other issues as well. For whatever reason, he flares up at me, sends me out of the room to go and do some procedure and so when I get back to his room, he is with another female patient, telling her about this annoying patient named Yamfoot!

Ah vex, ah vex, ah vex, ah vex, ah vex, ah vex so til.....

And in real life, I have heard people say he is miserable, but I personally didn't find him to be like that when I went to see him, around 6 years ago. And my whole family has been to him, including the kids, at one time or another and speak very highly of him as he has sorted out their dilemmas.

So I don't know which side of the bed he got out from that morning, but he was in a stink mood. I can't tell you how the dream ended because I woke up!....thankfully!
