Random Thoughts In Medical Facilities
The drop tile ceilings that are standard in medical facilities are boring and depressing. I know- how sexy should a medical ceiling be? Well a little bit more I think. An old dentist I had covered the lights with colored shots of skyscapes. Even better, my daughters’ dentist has a TV mounted on the ceiling so when you’re laying back you can watch Disney+, and hope that whoever mounted it secured it well enough.
Rachel will be writing a post next week about the actual procedure because she is much smarter than me. Also because hearing some of the news around this cancer journey has definitely shocked me into states where I have tuned out parts of it subconsciously.
Other random thoughts I have had in medical facilities as of late:
I am taking a genetic test. This will help determine what things may or may not be inherited or passed down to my kids. It is a saliva test and my question is who was the first guy/doctor to be like “I’m tired of testing blood- give me spit.”
How do people mess up doctor’s appointments so frequently? Every time I go to one another person checks in and either has the wrong location, the wrong time, or just no appointment at all. Just yesterday someone was in the wrong place on the wrong day, truly stunning.
If you’ve never had a CT scan with contrast there’s a cool feeling where shortly after injection you feel as though you pissed your pants. What makes it even more fun is when they forget to warn you about it.
Staring at the drop ceiling in the CT room- fun fact, there’s probably a family of mice running through that ceiling.
Why is Chipotle so popular? (Sorry Rachel). It is okay and passable but in a region where we have so many Mexican restaurants why is it loved? Is it all the cilantro they load in their food? Is that why I hate it- because it tastes like soap?
Why do kids forage like small woodland creatures? They take tiny little trinkets and paper and “garbage” and stash them around their rooms. If there’s ever an apocalypse and the future currency is random Lego pieces, tiny crafts, rocks, and random toy accessories well my kids will be gods amongst peasants.
I get 2 Bed Bath & Beyond emails everyday yet I have not seen a store in years. Has their marketing team been paid in advance?
Do $30 all you can drink wristband deals at bars still exist or has inflation ruined that too?
Temptation Island is back! If you are unfamiliar with this show they take 4 couples, and separate them in different villas to live with singles of the opposite sex to test the strength of their relationships. I will never tire of seeing one person in each couple thinking this was a good idea- spoiler, it never is.
Staying with TV, Our Flag Means Death is so good. Taika Waititi (What We Do in the Shadows, Thor: Ragnarok, Jojo Rabbit) is all over this show in front of and behind the camera, based on a true story about a wealthy Englishman who gave it all up to be a “pirate.” Check it out on HBO Max.
And finally, don’t be a douche like this guy:
When I was in the hospital my partner bought posters to cover the ugly pictures.
Fogcutter has $15 bottomless mimosas on Sundays. I’m in whenever you guys are!
