Clinical annoyance: Patients keeping their appointments with me in order to tell me that
they were dropped by their specialty care provider for missing appointments.
It's hard to know how to respond to that.
Especially when they were referred out because I couldn't do any more for them at the primary care level.

Friday Night Lemon Vodka Buzz. I need you. All of you.
I just want to jump off a ledge sometimes...
I won't.
But, God, I hate what's going on...
I love you all...
You give me hope...
