Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

Unspooling after a long, crazy day in clinic. On vacation for a week. No excitement for the Fourth this year; there’s no real freedom to celebrate. Even the British monarchy we broke away from is saying “Crikey! Get your shite together, Yanks!”

I love you all. That, at least, will never change…

Someone will have to invent a computer that can calculate the real Ultimate Question to the Ultimate Answer of Life, the Universe, and Everything…

I’m happy for you!

Had a crazy day in clinic today. Good-crazy, but still crazy.

Really needing some down-time right now.

Thanks for being here…

effort? Humility. Maturity.

Whatcha mixing with your vodka?

I'm imbibing of my old standby Tito's ("the vodka for dog people" ) with FeverTree premium Indian tonic water.. whatever that means ! I just know it doesnt chew up my stomach like Schweppes does!

🤣

And lime wedges, of course!

?

My rheumatologist filled an prednisone Rx from me contacting them via their portal. I had a gout attack during my vacation this week. Bottom of the door like plantar fasciitis. Brutal. It hit me after I struggled to get all the gear down there. Scrip filled in an hour and we went pick it up.

I’ve had refill requests from patients who live in Ocean Shores, WA. Don’t know if they called from the beach, but I sent their scrips to our company pharmacy out there.

You had to be there to believe it. But the 70’s were a crazy time. Seems like everyone was doing karate chops and screaming “Hi-YAAA!”

It's very a very smooth Polska wódka. Expensive and I don't do this often.
My way of saying thanks to the Poles for taking care of my peeps..
