Doctors Article 8

I had a doctors appointment at 1pm yesterday. So I set my alarm for 1245pm and slugged my ass four blocks to the doctors office. This was a new doctor so I had to fill out new paper work. First of all, why is there so much damn paper work at the doctors office? Does anyone really read this crap? Does a doctor really need to know I had a hernia operation when I was 11 years old or my weekly alcohol intake (that answer was embarrassing to write down)? I was still half asleep at this ungodly early hour when I got to page four of this awful questionnaire and things started to get interesting. The Employment Section!

Please don't ask me why a doctors needs to know this information but this was the one part I was excited to fill out. First question: Occupation. Answer: Retired.  Second question: Location. Answer: My apartment.
Third Question: Job Title. Answer: Blogger.  Fourth Question: Length of Time at Current Job. Answer: Six months and going strong. I filled out the rest of the questionnaire quickly as I wanted the receptionist to read through it and notice my answers. Also, being a doctors receptionist seems like the worst job ever. You are constantly on the phone and answering complicated insurance questions. I know I'm not the smartest person out there but I know nothing about health insurance. Seems so damn complicated. Surprisingly they called me back to the doctors room after only a few seconds so I didn't have time to see if she read through all of my information. Best part though, the receptionist and her two sidekicks were smiling and laughing as I walked by the entrance on the way out. She said they were giggling about my answers for the past ten minutes and were curious of what I really did for a profession. I looked over at her and told her "Hey, I'm retired at 28"! She was dying laughing. I left the office having a smile on my face my whole walk home and as I drifted back into the middle of my nights sleep.
