Another Thank You Gift

This one from a satisfied but apologetic patient, with a note saying, "here's something to remember me by." I'm not sure if he was calling me a prick or suggesting that he was one, but it's funny as heck either way. Thanks, dude. Hope you feel better.

I wonder what ten foods are on these ten food poles?

Back to the cactus - so, what are you going to do with the cactus scalpel? It would be funny if you still had it when you retired and left with a desert size cactus in your arms. I suspect it will always bring a chuckle to your spirit when you look at it. :)

WAS he a prick? Were YOU the prick? Bad chemistry? This girl's inquiring mind wants to know the real story? ;)

I am thinking if he was apologetic - then HE was the prick.

That IS the funniest gift I have ever heard of a patient giving a doctor! :)

In our own ways, both of us were pricks. Really we just had inaccurate preconceptions about each other, but ultimately we came to an understanding and mutual appreciation for each other's circumstances. I think.

You should see the flower arrangement he gave to the hot young nurse who was taking care of him. That's the funniest part. She got a $75 arrangement and I got a cactus shaped like a penis.

I don't know anything about maintaining cactuses, but I imagine they are hard to kill. Plants hate me.

Ha!Ha! That is also funny! Bet she was happy!

He apparently appreciated what she did for him in ways that weren't within your realm of possibilities. :)

Besides - her flowers will die and you will still have your cactus. They are hard to kill and I suspect it will "stick" around for a long time. :)

I swear to God, I had a cactus that died of thirst. And an aloe vera that committed suicide by jumping off the filing cabinet it was on. Sadly haven't done well with either of those types of plant.

I'm not sure how or why I ended up on this comment thread, but you suceeded in making me laugh so loud that I woke up my husband:

"You should see the flower arrangement he gave to the hot young nurse who was taking care of him. That's the funniest part. She got a $75 arrangement and I got a cactus shaped like a penis."

Freaking hilarious.
