"Be Nice or I'll Check Your Prostate"

"Be Nice or I'll Check Your Prostate", were the first words my doctor had to say me today. It was a rough start but it turned out o.k. Today was his birthday. I knew that because there were signs saying, "Happy Birthday Dr. Camps" as you entered the parking lot and all over the building. So when the doctor walked into the room I was just trying to be polite. "Happy Birthday", is all I said. Apparently this is his 50th birthday and he'd been catching grief all day so he was resulting to threats to stave off any further age harassment. I can only imagine that turning 50 and working in a urologist's office can lend itself to some pretty heavy kidding. So I sat there, next to a table full of Cialis brochures, and decided not to mention any more about the birthday.

The good news is after weeks of wondering, hours of testing, and a couple hundred bucks worth of co-pays he told me my kidney is fine and is functioning normally. So that's the good news. So the lesson for today is be nice to your urologist.
