OK, got to see a neurosurgeon who is very highly successful for neck duct tape super glue screws & bolt procedure. Whatever will "fix" my neck/spine. Nurse phones to get answers to prelimanary questions. NOW DO GET THIS OK I get the usual "where's the pain" duh, NECK, BACK YES, I have migraines. Is that why you take the Maxalt? DUH, YES IT'S A MIGRAINE MEDICINE.Do you smoke or drink? NO What's you're pain level? OFF THE CHARTS BUT I LIVE IN LEVEL 5 WITH MEDICAL ASSISTANCE The stupid questions continue and I am killing time in Wal-Mart waiting for meds. Ironic, isn't it? Anyway, she finally gets to the question that just left me laughing hysterically...DO YOU USE ANY ILLEGAL DRUGS OR SUBSTANCES? NOW PEOPLE, IF I DO NOT DRINK OR SMOKE FOR MY FREAKIN' HEALTH AND GOOD COMMON SENSE, WHY PRAY, WHY, WOULD I DO ILLEGAL DRUGS OR SUBSTANCES? ROFLOL FURTHER, WHY WOULD I ADMIT IT? ROFLOL LASTLY, If I were doing illegal drugs and substances, WOULD I BE IN PAIN THAT'S OFF THE CHARTS? ROFLOL I just held the phone laughing hysterically and her almost yelling into the phone, "are you there?" I finally got it together to answer the ditz. Poor thing. That's as good as the IRS actually states in their tax books "IF YOU HAVE EARNINGS FROM ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES, REPORT THEM ON SCHEDULE C." ROFLOL Yeah, I'm a bank robber, or drug dealer or prostitute doing cash business but I'm going to be so moral that I will report my earnings, let me rephrase that, MY REAL CASH EARNINGS, on a tax return. ROFLOL Oh, I gotta have coffe. I think someone spun the world one time too many today. ROFLOL

Yeah it is a funny question, and the first time they asked me I was \"Say What?\" But actually it\'s to protect you from any meds that might and probably do have fatal effect with the illegal drug of choice (whatever that is). I see it all the time in people you would never expect....I guess when some people are in pain...?
If cash continues to be a problem we may have to revisit that lady of the evening thing...hmmm? LOL!and yes I\'m ROF too!

Nan - you and I should do a road trip to med offices and just line people up to smack and ask seriously but stupidly \"Did you feel that? And what was the pain level?\" ROFLOL
