What's the funniest thing a Duck ever told U?
My neuroduck told me i injured my sciatic nerve by sittin on the commode too long!! Let me expound on that. Wife and I were out of town in motel. I woke up at 4 am and couldn't go back to sleep. Turn on TV- not good at 4 with wife and kids right there. I know, I'll go read in the bathroom.(That kind and courteous act got me here) 2 hrs of reading,sittin in the commode, got my legs so numb i almost couldn't get out!Got back to town and foot stayed numb.ChiroDuck said see the Neuro Duck after she failed. Neuro Duck said injured sciatic nerve badly by sittin on the toilet.Takes long time to heal.2yrs later my other foot gets numb and i have lyme.

Of all times to be kind to the wife!! If the commode thing hadn't sounded so believable, i'd have pursued the numb foot a lot further.

Curly, did the Neuro do an MRI of your spine?
How did he diagnose the Sciatic nerve injury?

A duck told me that in addition to straining, you can exacerbate hemorrhoids by sitting on the throne too long.

Would I be correct in assuming a "duck" is a doctor?

Have you ever heard of someone calling a bad doctor a quack? They call them ducks here.

A couple of months after I had my picc line removed (by my fathers choice, not my LLMD's. He was mad that I lost my gallbladder), my dad decided I should be retested because I was still constantly sick. My family physician told us that that would be pointless because I'd had so many positive tests it was just a given that it would always be in my system. Having a positive test would not prove that I was still sick.

Oh yeah, and a couple of weeks ago my new family physician (I moved) told me that I cannot be relapsing because I don't have a bullseye.
