Dueling Cavalier Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Pt: My naturopathic doctor diagnosed me with lyme disease. He said I've had it for 29 years! Preceptor: 29 years? How did he test for that? Pt: He looked and tested my muscles. Preceptor (blinks a few times): Did he draw any blood? Pt: No Preceptor: Interesting technique. Pt: I'm spending a fortune on the treatment now. Preceptor: Herbal medication? Pt: Yes Preceptor: (blinks some more) Here I am smiling and stifling my laughter the whole time while finishing up the pt chart. Glad pt was facing her back toward me.
