Just had a disconcerting clinic visit; a young man who looks exactly like Kyle Rittenhouse.

One major difference: my patient was the sweetest, nicest, most polite young man you could imagine. Still a little off-putting. Got to make it through Friday, then home to pour a drink stiff enough to stand up on its own.

Hope to see you there...

When I was still working that would occasionally happen but the worst was when I responded to a Code Blue in the hospital, as ICU we responded to them on the night shift because the ER doc was often too busy to just bust and run so we ran the codes until they got there, and found out it was my Aunt who had just been admitted that night. I was able to quickly get someone else to do the compressions and I only had a minute to run it until the ER doc was there. Good thing, she expired and I am glad I did not have to be a part of that.

It is odd dealing with the public in such a personal way, the things that happen now and then. Have 2 of those stiff drinks, that experience had to have been difficult enough to make that reasonable.

I think one of them brandished a skateboard. Real menace, that one...

I wanted to say something like "four people shot at local pharmacy, left with no worse than sore arms" but I this is a new account and I have to reply 10 times before being able to start a thread.

As for the look-alike, I, the person behind Fawkes News, found a photo on the internet of someone. Sure looks like my face, my shirt. (protects anonymity)

I don't do selfies, and nobody takes my picture.

Stuff like this is startling, indeed!!

Sorry about the "stretch".

With any luck, Joe Biden WILL make that phone call to Kyle. A call to military service SWEEPING MINES.

Susie the talent manager from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Seriously, hair, face, hat, size were all on target. I half expected her to declare, "What the fuck are looking at?"

I think she's as funny as Mrs. Maisley. The episode with her and the two hitmen was hysterical.
