For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for September 10, 2019

Dr. Fundus D. Sphyncter. That would be a great name for a Gastroenterologist. He should switch from Family Medicine.

And nothing more than a waiting room.

Interesting that she is looking at her wrist for the time, since she isn’t wearing a watch. :-)

2013……..Former cancer patient feeling sick as can be and sitting/lying down 8.5 hours in the emergency waiting room……waiting. Can’t be helped …… They’re DOCTORS and NURSES, not miracle workers. When other sick people are there before you, ya gotta wait your turn (with exceptions).

Just pee in cup, put your name on it and give to the nurse. Ask her to call you with the results.

Oh Elly you should know well enough to bring something to read. You work in a library after all. What do you think those books are there for?

I once went for an FAA pilot physical and had a doctor named Blood. He said he did get a lot of comments about having that name.

Fund-us? Sphincter? (pay through the ass?)

10 am really means 2 pm in doctor language!

One time one of my daughters had a doctor’s appointment. We got there early (we brought books) and were seen almost right away. As a matter of fact, I looked at the clock as we were leaving…and it was the time her appointment was actually for! We still joke about that.

I never go to a doctor or dentist appointment without my Kobo. Too many times I’ve been put in a chair or a consulting room and told “the doctor will be with you in a minute”. Generally the longest minute in history. Not to mention time spent in the appropriately named “waiting room”.

We had an optomietrist in our town named E. E. Boring. Always thought he should switch to Dentistry.

how I felt when being call to the exam room at my doctors

Elly is now thinking it would have been more efficient to head to the U.S. border.

Do an at home test and skip the dr. until birth.

It looks like Elly is trying to look at ‘three hairs past a mole’…if anyone members that joke. ;)

Did anyone else notice she is looking at an empty wrist? She has no watch on to check the time.

When I had an appointment on a work day I’d always phone before I left the office to see how late they were running.

Are waiting rooms this crowded at all Canadian doctors?

This comic is from years ago. Now most people I see in Dr’s waiting rooms have smart phones and they seem oblivious to time passage.

News Flash, the rabbit dies.

Interesting that every face in that waiting room is sad…..

Ever notice in the 3 stooges movies, in hospital scenes they were always paging Dr. Ben Dover? A nearby clinic has a Dr. Sowlles in a foot clinic. Another nearby clinic used to have Dr. Blinder in the eye dept., and Dr. D. Nutter that also did circumcisions.

I really knew a Proctologist who’s name was Butts.

Let us count the months. Yup, 9 months until April.

They are all like that Elly

Dr. Fundus D. Sphyncter should be on the lookout for the Sphyncter Police.

So it’s a normal waiting room.

If you wait long enough, you will find out yourself not only whether you are pregnant, but also whether it’s a boy or a girl!

I wonder if they are playing the Jeopardy think music that they during final Jeopardy?
