Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Yeh can’t leave the place for five minutes and we’re back in the manure business.
The good woman and meself were having a break in Wexford and had to come home today as we are dog sitting the daughters dog tomorrow for a week.
With female doctors some men can get smutty
In actually fact she reduces them to putty
At the mercy of her experienced hands
As she gently examines their vital glands
Praying they won’t release a fart
When she puts the stethoscope up to the heart
Some survive this but their pants might be wet
And out of the surgery they think they’ll never get.
We have two new lady doctors up in the clinic, one’s from Brazil and the other is Chinese, both are brilliant at their job and the customers have nothing but praise for them, I love the pair of them and they make a visit a treat, although thankfully it’s not often for me.
I’m just old fashioned and used to the male doctors, back in those days you did what you were told and asked no questions, you were told to take off your shirt, lie down and shut up “I’m the doctor and I tell you not the other way around” The examination was all done by hand then, no fancy machines or tools, barring his stethoscope and the little wooden hammer he used to whack you on the knees, his hand crossed over his other hand as he tapped away on your chest, breathe in, breathe out, does this hurt? does that hurt? now put on your shirt and come back in six months.
Nerve tonics were all the rage then, Buckfast Tonic Wine was a favourite with the ladies, everyone suffered from ‘Nerves’ whatever they were, we even had ‘Nerve Specialists’, nerves covered a multitude of complaints and it was handy to deal with nerve patients, today they have a label for everything from farting to internal combustion, by the way I read that regular farters are more likely to combust than seldom farters, and as women don’t fart it’s mainly the men who burst into flames.
Don’t mind me I’m just rambling on.
