I'm having to work a little extra this week so no picture today but I will tell you about one of my appointments yesterday.
The complaint was - Dog swallowed a rock. I told the Tech to set up for x-rays.
Me - Did you see your dog swallow a rock?
Ms. Rockette - No, but she likes to play with rocks and I'm just waiting for her to swallow one.
Me - What is she doing that makes you think she may have swallowed one today?
Ms. Rockette - I let her outside and when she came back in she was pawing at her face. I gave her some water but she wouldn't drink.
Me - Well, her chin is very red and swollen.
Ms. Rockette - She did that herself with the pawing.
Me - Maybe she is pawing because it itches. It looks like she has been stung. See, her is a spot that looks like a sting and it's red all around it.
Ms Rockette - Well, why wouldn't she drink her water?
Me - Because she was too worried about itching her chin where she was stung and maybe she wasn't thirsty right at that instant.
Ms Rockette - So you don't think she swallowed a rock?
Tech - What happened to the dog for the x-rays.
Me - Don't ask.

Did the dog swallow a rock? Or did Ms. Rockette? lol!
Nice. I guess it takes all kinds of people in this world. Do you have an added "stupid" fee for your billing?
LOL must be hard to keep your "game face " some times
