Nope not my comment! ;-) I get peeved by the well who do appear to want to
be ill. When told that the examination, tests, Xrays are totally normal they
seem to respond with disappointment. "Oh sh*t so I haven't got the big C
then doc?"
Happy with the sick rolers, the manipulators, the lead swingers, at least I
can get my head round those but wanting to find illness. Maybe they feel
that medicine ain't got the sophistication yet to find their particular
brand of ill health??
