When I see the neuro my husband and I will joke around with things that may have happened during seizures or that are going on in general. We all get a good laugh about them.

On my last apt there was an intern there. My husband and I got into a sort of joking spat with each other. I looked at her and asked her if she didn't have a man if she'd like to take him. She really wasn't sure how to answer it. Very politely told me "No thank you, I'm already married." I then asked her if she'd just like to trade then. Again very politely she said "No, that's ok. I'm happy with him"

I also wanted to let my neuro that I've noticed I've been bruising a lot easy. I know it could be caused by one of the meds (Depakote?) but I just wanted him to be aware of it.

My husband told my neuro that I bruise because I'm always running into things. My neuro told me, laughing, I should stop doing that because it will cause bruises. My husband started telling my neuro about all the things I run into.

I interrupted him and said "Well you hit me too, that causes bruises!" Should have seen the look on the poor interns face after that one :roflmao:
 
Hahaha that's just cruel lol

Whenever mine lets the interns in and they're sitting there nodding wisely to everything I say and taking notes, I always describe pre/post experiences in relation to acid trips- then I start asking them "Have you taken acid, coz it's *just* like that and you seem to know what I'm talking about..."

They never know what to say in front of their boss and a patient :D

My wife and I make it a habit to torture any people we deal with. Waitresses, clerks, assistants, doctors. Yes. Interns must be one of the best!
