Bonnie went to see Dr. Ventor for a recurring problem. He said he had some answers. She asked him to write them out on a prescription pad for her. He said fine, he would and came back with it for her.
He had written and signed the following on one of his prescription pads:
What pill has positive effects on mood, body weight, sleep quantity and quality, lowers blood pressure, lipids, blood glucose, the risk of heart disease, some certain cancers, improves functional ability, overall quality of life, arthritis and extends life?
She asked him if she could come back in a month so he could check and see how she is doing, and would he measure her girth – and not tell her the number.Only exercise does all of these. Exercise 30-50 minutes 3-5 days a week.
He said yes. He went and got his tape measure. He measured her. He had to bend way down to look at the measurement. She knew he hadn’t taken Home Economics since he didn’t know to hold his finger there on the tape measure and then bring it up to his eyes. While he was down measuring, she said, “ I would like it in blue”, please, since it felt like she was getting measured by a tailor.
He said, “We are all out of blue.”
She said, “Skin tones will do.”
She took the prescription to the pharmacist because she had other pills to get. He looked at both prescriptions, the second one for a long time. Then he gave it back to her with a smile of his own saying he only had in stock medication for the first one and not for the other.
Thus endeth Bonnie Wyora’s fable of RX.
Too funny! I will try to fill the one prescription myself. I will start on Sunday when I get on the ship for the Honduras and scuba diving for Lurene and Tim.
ReplyDeleteI got a note from Bonnie Wyora. She said, "At long last, the best prescription I have every received. So far, no negative side effects."
