Dickman. Dr Dickman.How are you supposed to call HIM and maintain your composure?
Same thing with Dr Pepper.
And how's this for an answering message?
"This is Doctor Finley. I'm not available right now - but if your situation is an emergency, please go to an Emergency Room."
Sorry? Did you just suggest that, if my medical situation is an emergency, I should take myself off to an Emergency Room? Good God, that's genius! I can see NOW that those seven years of medical school were well spent.
In fact, why do ALL out-of-ours messages begin: "If your condition is life threatening, please hang up and call 911."?
I mean, are people really SO dumb that they call their General Practitioner out-of-hours when they've just accidently lopped their arm off with a chainsaw? The mind reels - but presumably it happens often enough for doctors to cover their bases with the answering machine message.
And finally, geography.
Why is there an Ohio in Colorado? And a Colorado in Texas? Doesn't ANYBODY realise how confusing that is?
Golly. This business is an eye opener.

Why would I give you my blogger account? You don't even live in New Brunswick.
I actually live in the province and I've been to NB, NJ a few times in 99/00. I'm not interested in giving it away - I'll use it again one of these days.
