SLEEPING AT STARBUCKS

That takes some will power, huh? Or maybe he had been given a cup of placebo coffee. You know, there are a lot more placebos out there than you realize. That's because most doctors believe their patients are hypochondriacs. What if there were placebo birth control pills? Boy, that would be a mess, wouldn't it?  I'm good at thinking about stuff like that. I'm surprised I haven't gotten a call from the transition team yet.

Love that drawing, so much energy there I'm suprised you didn't wake him up, seriously.

I'd like some placebo chocolate eclairs. Fat pills you can eat by the dozen that will have absolutely no effect on the hips.

Hypochondriacs? Once I did not think my new doctor was taking a pain seriously. I had almost never gone to a doctor. This was long ago, so I had to steal my file and take it into the restroom. Across the entire page, diagonally in red, "Hypochrondriac." Is there a medical term for docs who like to write big in red?
