Good day at the Doc....

Today we visited Dr. Brown, my cardiologist, for my 2 months+ post-op check up. I was heartened by the results as the nurse did the initial checks.

NURSE: "Hmmm blood pressure, 127 over 73"
ME : "Is that good?"
NURSE: "That's good"
NURSE: "Let's see now, heart rate 62."
ME: "Is that good?"
NURSE: "That's really good".

And then the affable and dually degreed Dr. Brown arrived. Dr. Brown has both an M.D. and a PhD. in Immunology. Personally I like doctors fooling with my heart to be as well educated as possible so this is good. Dr. Brown asked me how I felt. "Really very good", I replied. Dr. Brown then listened to several points of interest on my chest with the stethoscope and pronounced...."Everything sounds very good".

Sounds good to me too!
