Loud and clear from WBS

Friday we were visiting with Dad in our usual spot by the nurses station. Hank was there too and the conversation proceeded in a roundabout formless way, Dad asking a question, Hank saying "those are very attractive shoes" , Dad saying "are you still in Pennsylvania, when are we leaving, etc." Looking up we noticed the bad-haired, disheveled, shirt stretched over fat belly form of Dr. Arrogant Ryan approaching. Dad noticed too and he did his darnest to explain to us who he was. " Look, this is the flamerjam flotenberg" he says. "Hes top slatherplum wasitbull" he tried again. He knew who the guy was and he looked at him with a mixture of admiration, fear, and loathing. Dr. R began speaking, "Well, look who we have here, the Simpsons. Bill, you've made it back.You're even walking around. You are just about the same minus a few marbles. You surprised us all." In an aside to Jim and I, he assures us that Bill's blood count was okay. It was all very smarmy and friendly, like he thought we thought he really knew what he was doing or cared.Like he thought it was okay to speak about a patient to his family like that. The guy really should be punched. But Dad had the last word. He looks up at Ryan and says, "I could take you, you're pretty big but I could get you down." It was quite clear, no garbled words, no mistaking what he meant. Good for you Dad!

I know that some who read the Blog are not familiar with Dr. Ryan. Hes been WB's doc for a long time and hes a jerk.His remarks on Friday were unprofessional and cavalier.
