The day I had

This was a conversation this morning before we started seeing patients.  All the audiologists were standing around when one started talking about when her daughter was in Copenhagen.

Audiologist: When my daughter was in Copenhagen all anyone would take for payment besides cash was a Danish Visa card.  Who has a Danish Visa?

**Everyone at this point was asking why it was so important to the Danish people for them to have their own Visa?

Me: I don't know about ya'll, but I have 3.

I thought my supervisor was going to pee his pants.  Seriously.  I mean, it's a little funny, but not a lot funny.

Then we had a doozie of a patient come in.  He gave the receptionist a horrible time (and she happens to be one of the sweetest people I know) and so she scheduled him to come back later in the afternoon for me to see him for a hearing aid counseling.  This is how it went.

Me: This is the type of hearing aid that I recommend for you.  Do you want the same type of earmold for both ears?

Patient: You're the professional, you tell me.

Me:  I chose the guts of the hearing aid, there's no changing that.  You need to tell me how much you care about your appearance, because there's going to be 2 different types of styles.  One is an earmold and the other is open with a thin tube.  Do you want them to be the same on both hearing aids or not?

Patient: Oh.

***screaming inside***  Some patients can just wear on your patience.  But I sold him 2 hearing aids.  Hopefully they'll work out!

Hope everyone else had a good day!
