Recently my partner (as in work )called me at 8 am with abdominal pain and
asked if I would mind examining him. I met him in the surgery and told him
to get up on the couch. He was tender in the RIF but what impressed me most
was a damp patch of sweat he left on the couch roll when he got up. I
thought this guy is in a lot more pain than he is telling me. I sent him to
hospital and presently he had keyhole surgery for an acute appendicitis.
When he came home I thought I would impress him with my Sherlock Holmes type
acumen and told him about the sweat I noted and how I gave this a lot of
weighting . He said " You dumb ass I just had a shower before you examined
me " Because he was a colleague I only charged him 15 quid.
