Gather around, gather around.

What is everybody drinking right now?

And if you don't have a beverage on hand, okay, dehydration station.

I'm constantly dehydrated, but I feel like I'm sucking these down.

Like, I drink two of these at least.

I know.

I'm on an anti-swept medication called glyco, and I stop sitting the rest of it because I do not know how it's pronounced.

It is quite possibly like 45 letters.

It's like glycocopylate.

And when I tell doctors that I'm on it, they're always like, what is that?

And then I have to teach them about that.

And they're like, ew.

And I'm like, hello, I have hyperhydrosis.

Don't make me feel stupid about it.

Okay.

I'm like, didn't you read your textbook, doc? I'm like, you didn't choose emergency department medicine. You chose family medicine, okay? So let's clock that. When you're here, your family. Yeah. I actually have a new primary. Oh, how excited. I know. Well, I'm not excited. I'm nervous. I want to be in this health network that's closer to our house because my primary right now is like so far. So they were like, oh, there's an opening. You have to take it now if you really want it. And I was like, I'm going to take it now. And I meet her next Thursday. And I don't know what to bring her. Um, I think you should get her a muffin basket for sure. And she's also going to, you're going to literally, you're going to put on the gown, you're going to stand with your hands behind your back.

And I'm going to cough. In the middle of the doctor's office. And she's going to walk around you, like she's shopping for a car. She's going to look you up and down. And she's going to say, you're accepted or voted off the island. She has no idea what's coming. I'm sure she read my spec sheet and she was like, okay, 31 year old male presenting with nothing serious. Little does she know, I'm coming in with a salue of concerns. So she's like, a lot of this could be managed with Prozac and I'm like, well, let's rule out the cardiologist appointment real quick. So she should be excited for that. She should be really honored to have me. I'm honored to have her. I also can almost guarantee that she's not going to read the spec sheet. If we've learned anything through my eyeball journey, they're not reading it. The amount of times I have to retell that story. You guys, I'm sure, are sick of it. How many doctors did I have to tell?
