So, I went to the doctor Thursday for an ongoing problem. Not sure who is asking the screening questions so I'll call them an aide.

Aide-Why are we seeing you today?
Slydell-For the same yada yada problem I've been having the past year.
Aide-Allergic to any meds?
Slydell-Same answer as the last 20 times I've been here.
Aide-Do you smoke or drink?
Slydell-WTF does that have to do with why I'm here today?
Aide-Smoking and drinking causes a great many deaths in the US.
Slydell-So does stopping a bullet or jumping off a cliff.
Aide-Please, just answer the question.
Slydell-Yes.
Aide-How much do you smoke or drink?
Slydell-None of your ****in' business. Fill out whatever you want to and send in a doctor, please.
Aide-How much do you smoke?
Slydell-None of your ****in' business.
Aide-How much do you drink?
Slydell-None of your ****in' business.
Aide-How can we determine your problems without this important background information?
Slydell-Because it doesn't ****in' matter pertaining to my visit today. Get a doctor in here now or I'll eat your heart.
Aide-The doctor will be in to see you in a few minutes.
"We're going to note your bad attitude in your file, sir."
 
So, I had a little surgery on 5/1. At the surgery center, they told me that my portion of the bill would be $500 so I paid it up front. On, 6/6, I received a bill from Tennova for an additional amount. I went to their website and paid a third of it. On 6/13, I received a robo call to call Tennova patients accounts to settle up. On 6/20, I received another call with basically the same song and dance. Tonight, I received another robo call regarding the same issue. Tomorrow, I will call the number they left on my voice mail. Should be an interesting call.
 
I should be asleep, but I feel like crap. My body feels like it's been through ten rounds with Mike Tyson when he was going through his ear-biting phase. Ten rounds in his prime and I'd probably be dead.
 
What if steroids didn't help Lance Armstrong win all those Tour de France titles? What if it was an aerodynamic advantage created from losing one of his boys? Something to ponder as you go about your day.

And ftr, I think Uniballer is a great villain name.
