The final curtain or a new career

 So my wife has been sick for around 9 weeks now and I have not worked as a result. I was thinking of buying a white coat and charging her €40 a visit. Its no joke. The wise man once said that your health is your wealth.

I suffer from reflux (heartburn)and was sent to a hospital to have tests done. Its a tube with a camera attached which they push down your throat to your stomach. The last time I had it done the doctor was very confused. He did not speak to me directly. "This is very strange, very strange indeed" So he went away and today an appointment came in to see him again in a different hospital and do another examination in May 2024. But my wife panicked with the first diagnosis and arranged that a doctor see me in private. He looked at the charts and he told me that the other doctor was concerned about a pinkish coating on the back of my throat. Its gone now. Any ideas?

Well I said, my dentures are loose and I use Fixodent to hold them in place, it is pink and I had nothing to eat or drink for 18 hours. Yes indeed he said, that fits the bill.

Some doctors forget that they are dealing with people. It is like they are dealing with a horse who can tell them nothing, so they do not ask.

In the next few days my son will be insured to drive the taxi and I will stand back. I hope he likes it as he is always telling me what to do. It is not uncommon for a passenger to tell you to go a different way, even when you point out that its a one way street !!!!!
