The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns

Are doctors a different breed of species or something?

Why is it that they show up day after day to work, looking in people's mouths, getting sicknesses and disease breathed all over them, etc. and they rarely seem to take sick time off.

Why the heck do they have all the luck of being around germs and such and yet, they don't seem to get sick as much as you and me?

All it takes me is one simple hot-breathed "hello" from the kids when I go to pick them up from school, and I'm out of commission for a week.

I bet doctors have some sort of special Kill-All Germinator Kit that they use every day before work.

B*stards won't even share it with us.

Seriously, every time I go to make a doctor's appointment because I'M SICK, they are always there to take the time to see me. When is it that THEY'RE SICK, huh?

Plus, I don't know about others out there, but I always have the fantastic luck of getting doctors who think there's nothing wrong with me, so they send my home in agony without any aid regardless of how much I am clearly in pain.

So, I end up suffering with something for a month or more, going to the doctor week after week, all to end up in the most excruciating pain when they finally do something for me.

I think they don't acknowledge or treat people the first time around because they really don't know what it's like to be sick.

It all goes back to their special Kill-All Germinator Kit, or is it their unique species?

Whatever the reason, it's enough to make me sick.

Just once...

ONCE...

I'd like to be treated correctly the first time I go see the doctor.

Once, that's all I ask.

(unfortunately, I don't see that happening, what with their uniqueness, their Germinator Kit, or whatever the h*ll their reasoning is)
