I think I am lucky to have this old man as my doctor. He is very direct and I enjoy his wit and his sharp tongue. The old man made it clear to me that he did not like the way I asked him to cancel the colonoscopy. He called me today at 19:45 and the conversation was quite funny over the phone:
Dr X: Good Evening Sir
Me: Good Evening Doctor
Dr. X: So are you going to check with your general doctor about your colonoscopy results?
Me: No, I do not intend to. I do not have a general doctor yet. You performed the colonoscopy so I believe you should be the best one to explain to me what went wrong, shouldn’t you?
Dr.X: Okay! You had an acute ulcer that led to your bleeding. Luckily, everything is healed now! What did I prescribe as treatment for you?
me: Some iron supplement, called Tardyferon, and my blood results are normal now.
Dr. X: Great, however there is a microscopic “undesirable” fungus in your intestine. I believe it is the combination of the alcohol and the fungus that led to the acute ulcer.
Me: I do not mind if you would just give me the prescription and I would pay you. My health insurance is excellent.
Dr. X: No, we should meet so that I can explain to you how to take the treatment but I am quite busy.
me: Okay (I give him time to think about it)
Dr. X: How about we meet on Saturday, April the 8th at 14:15? Are you available?
Me: Yes I am available.
Dr. X: Excellent, I will see you then.
Me: Thank you very much.
I am glad he has my personal phone number. I am sure he would call me if there is something wrong with my results no matter the day or the time.
