Medical Advice

So I'm at work and the hundred and second person, upon hearing my darth vader voice and chronic smoker's cough, suggests I see a doctor. I smile politely, tell them I don't know any good ones, and ask what their problem/illness/ raison d'ĂȘtre is today...

I've had people suggest how I should treat myself, including specifics of what to take, where to find it, and how to prevent getting ill in the first place... Isn't that MY job?
I'm just glad I don't have a surname like 'Carver' or 'Paine' or 'Hacker', the days could be very long...

Hahah, I love it when that happens... especially their remedies! Also the patients who don't take pharmaceuticals but are on 15 different OTC and CAM - then say they don't take them regularly because of the cost.
