"I was feelin' so bad, I asked my family doctor just what I had...

     I said, "Doctor, (Doctor ) Mr. M.D., (Doctor ) Now can you tell me, tell me, tell me, What's ailin' me?"

     It turns out differently in real life to the song; what I really need is an antibiotic, cough syrup with codiene and three days of bed rest with plenty of fluids.

     Yeah, three days.  They were initially not going to let me go back until Monday but I'm scheduled for a weekend shift, so I had to ask and the answer was that it'd be okay.  I've got the start of a Z-pack down the hatch and so if you'll 'scuse me, I have a date with the sandman -- and I don't mean the guy who sells telcom stuff in Chicago.

It strikes me that, if we don't clear up this Obamacare fiasco one of these days, future generations are going to wonder what a "family doctor" was.

But, hey, never mind that -- get your rest and feel better :)

Pretty much any opiate-type painkiller will work for shutting the cough center down for a spell, if you have no codeine cough syrup. (Note - Too much will shut it down permanently)

If you're out of work a few days, consider sleeping during the day and playing HF radio at night...

I feel so lousy, I have been sleeping at night and napping all day. The closest I get to playtime is falling asleep while reading and falling asleep while watching "Burn Notice."

Thanks for the song. One of my faves from the mid sixties. Owned the single, but goodness, didn't remember the wardrobe.
