We have a patient who is so concerned about the swine flu, it's all she can talk or think about. She questioned every person in the office including all of the patients to find out what or if they knew anything about the two recently confirmed cases here in town. She's convinced she also has it. She doesn't.
After we'd finally banished her to the waiting room and were sitting here in relative peace, we heard her turn the TV on, explaining to the other patients that she wanted to make sure that the swine flu hadn't became rampant in town since the 8 am news.
All the sudden we heard her yell, "OH, GREAT!" and make a mad dash for the door by my desk.
She threw it open and in a panicky voice said, "THEY'VE JUST ANNOUNCED A NEW EPIDEMIC IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS! AS IF I DIDN'T ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH TO BE WORRIED ABOUT!"
Yeah, well, what's it supposed to be?
"IT'S SYPHILIS!"
That's right. Look out, Southeast Texans. And everyone else. That syphilis is spreading like wildfire.

Wouldn't it be funny if she happened to come down with BOTH???? Ha ha ha.
i would say that of all the places you could go to avoid the swine flu, the doctor's office is NOT it. hello lady, those places are CRAWLING with sick people!
She can't keep away from the doctor's office. First of all, she's a hypochondriac. Second, she has no one at home to talk to so all of her doctor's appointments are her social life.
