I had an appointment with the specialist who is following my hepatitis B for 3 years now. Funny old doctor with a sharp tongue and lots of wits for his age! He is extremely smart! I learned to stay quiet and to answer only when he asks me questions… no need for extra chit chat with him!
Dr. X: (pulling me quickly in his office with a handshake), Where is your general doctor?
Me: She moved to Britany, doctor!
Dr. X: Right, I had the same impression, however I made the mistake to send to her office your results!
Me: (keeping it quiet with a smile and let my doctor think!)
Dr. X: Are you having a new general doctor?
Me: well, there are 3 doctors in that center and none of them wanted to have new patients (In fact I do not care since I have him as my specialist and he is really the best!)
Dr. X: Okay, I will manage, you have “Helicobacter pylori” in your stomach. This bacteria increases the risk of developping a cancer in the stomach. Are you still taking the iron supplement for your loss of blood?
Me: Not regularly but I almost finished the tablets you prescribed (not giving the impression that it was important at all!)
Dr. X: It is important that we check your iron level because, if you lost blood, your body will replace your blood using the iron. However, your body needs iron for other things to work normally.
Me: I understand.
Dr. X: I will prescribe a blood analysis (iron level), a treatment to remove “Helicobacter pylori” and we shall meet in June for your annual ultrasound tests and we will also check whether the bacteria was removed. You can do the ultrasounds with another doctor, I am only available for the ultrasound on Friday.
Me: I prefer you do it.
Dr.X: Okay! (he gave me all the prescriptions). Can you please read my instructions and let me know if you understand them?
Me: Is it a single day treatment?
Dr.X: (annoyed and he let his feelings appear on his face). Please read everything!
Me: (calm and quietly reading again). Doctor, unless I am mistaken, you did not write how long the treatment will last!
Dr. X: Sorry I forgot!
Me: (I smiled at his mistake) Geez, 10 days!
Dr. X: Yes and the treatment might cause some diarrhea and discomfort!
Me: Okay!
My doctor finished his prescriptions and kicked me out of his office with a handshake!

I have never been good at getting cheap deals for anything other than high-tech stuffs. However the site dealabs made my life so much easier! Especially if the deals are in my everyday stores!

It is the cheapest and the most efficient cleaner I have ever used in my studio. Every now and then I buy 10 liters of white vinegar for 6 Euros and I add the boiled white vinegar to my dishwasher and my washing machine for 3-4 hours. I also leave all my faucet heads in boiled white vinegar.
It does not smell too strong but the results are remarkable! All the basic salt deposits are gone!

On a regular basis, I am having lunch with my ex-colleague from my previous job. She also left her previous position but she remained in the same company. Her current big drama is her 2 old kids and she is having a very hard time. With no diploma and no goals, her kids are having a hard time finding their place elsewhere than in her house. Of course, it creates a lot of tensions between them.
In my personal case, I always wanted to leave the house and live on my own. It is very hard to get along with your parents, they tend to try to live twice their own life. One very important lesson I learned from my past is: ASK PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT.
I am so cynical that I reduce my own social relationship to 2 questions:
What do I want? what do they want? If we do not want the same thing, I go my way.

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.

So I wrote 2 days ago about the data I used for internet and I wished I had more on 4G. Today FREE just granted my wish and they increased their offer to 100 Gb for the deal I was on and they also offered another with UNLIMITED 4G (not interested at the moment).
100 Gb on 4G for 3 E/m
ADSL 2 E/m
Total: 5 Euros / m with the fastest speed available.
I will cancel the 20 Gb for 3 Euros/m. In the end, I only pay 5 Euros/m and I have access to EVERYTHING people have in DOUBLE and they have to pay about 45 Euros/m to get the same quality and the same amount of data.
