A Funny Story

It takes awhile for those close to you to get used to thinking of you as a physician. A funny case-in-point:

I had gotten a bad head cold after receiving the intranasal live swine flu vaccine. My mom asked how I was feeling, and I responded "Well, I'm not quite ready to go to the OR yet." Mom said "What?? I thought it was just a head cold!" "As the surgeon, mom, not the patient...."

It takes awhile.
