He's A Magician

Today wasn't really one of my days at all. I was only able to see one patient an hour which kind of irritated me because the commute to the office is about an hour so I expected a little bit more. However, I do understand that these patients may have insecurities anout their bodies or would just rather have their alone time with Dr. Ross. 

Although I only got to see one patients for the first a second hour they were both quite interesting. Both of these men were middle-aged and they both had no problem showing skin een though it was a little wierd. They were both single fathers and it was pretty entertaining to see them socializing with Dr. Ross. They both seemed to have blamed their back problems on their kids. They seemed to know exactly what to say before Dr. Ross would say anything. Then I come to find out that they have both been seeing Dr. Ross since the late 70's/ early 80's. They said that every time he works wonders.

The third patient was pretty exciting as well. She had teo kids and moved them both here so that they could get their education and live a better life than she did. She was so kind but out of all the patients, she seemed to be the least tough when it comes to gettig adjusted. Every time there a simple adjustment, she would yell or begin to cuss in Soanish. She was truly a character. She too, has been seeing Dr. Ross for a long time as well. 

The fourth latient of the day literally took up the whole hour; and Dr. Ross wasn't complaining at all because his lunch break was after and he'd rather talk to a patient than sit around and eat for an hour. This man was about 6 foot 2 or 3 and was a competative byciclist. For the half hour ofthis appointment, all they both talked about was eatingright and healthy supplements. Dr. Ross reads about this stuff jist so he could help this particular man. The man starts to wrte notes quoting everything from Dr. Ross. He helped his patients all he can and tries to cotribute to every part of their lives. I was kind of beginning to wonder why he didn't just become a regular doctor.
