Meanwhile, back at the doctor's office...

Continuing on from the tale of the dairy-challenged receptionist... Sitting in the doctor's office after tests were conducted and the doctor is talking with me while dictating his notes.

I have to admit I first thought that my ears were playing tricks. The doctor was spelling out what seemed like every sixth or so word. Granted, some were medical terminology, so mistakes are expected. But as I tuned in, many of the words were those used in every day conversation by the majority of people.

Politely I inquired what he was doing.

I'll paraphrase: "I've got all this high-priced university degreed help out there, and do you think any one of them can actually spell? A university degree and they can't even spell."

Ordinarily, I end posts with a witticism or something. Unable to here. It's really quite sad, isn't it?
