I Just Want to be Healthy When I Die!

A compilation of the funny, strange, and downright ridiculous things said in a doctor's office.

A lot of funny, strange, and downright ridiculous things get said in a doctor's office. Just ask Dr. Randy Wisdom. A practicing physician for almost 50 years, he's heard it all. And he's been keeping notes. "This collection of real exam-room conversations draws heavily from the native Ozark mountain folk, the good country people of central Arkansas, and the African-Americans of the Mississippi Delta and inner-city Memphis," Dr. Wisdom recounts. "These are the peoples of my roots, and each has a manner of expression that is colorful and distinctive. "I claim, herein, to present the sayings of real people…about the concerns of real people…using the vocabularies and dialects of real people. Any doctor who is worth his (sorry) salt will understand, and chuckle. I invite you to do the same." Doctors, patients, and everyone who still has their funny bone intact—get ready to laugh out loud!
