When we were waiting at Moffitt to see the Oral Surgeon (the first appt I had with Moffitt) we were given a pager and told we could wait out in the main lobby entrance of Moffitt. We knew the doctors name and it sounded like he was East Indian so every East Indian doctor that walked through the main lobby she would jab me and say "I wonder if that's him?". Well one really overweight such doctor walked by and of course she jabbed me but she added "I can just see it now, he's standing over you in the operating room with a knife in his hand and suddenly he has a heart attack and slumps over and stabs you in the neck!". He disappeared and a minute later our pager goes off and now I'm sitting in the exam room and guess who walks in and guess who jabbed me again.
