Bits and Pieces

So, I called my friend Sam to tell him about Bubbie's new problem. He told me that that was not the first time he had encountered that complaint. He says it got to the point where he was taking "before and after" pictures of his patients since they swore that they had never had wrinkles, age spots, etc. before the cataract surgery. Someone even told him that now her house was dirtier, and it was his fault!
Geez..and I thought being a cardiologist was a challenge. Well, it was but that's another story.
Next week I'm traveling to Israel to volunteer on a military base for three weeks. I don't know where I'll be or what I'll be doing. Eve's not coming with me. Someone in this family needs to work. Actually, I have been working at Social Security for close to a year now. A few months ago they started rolling policy questions my way, and I ultimately had to appear before the Commissioner of the SSA to address some points concerning cardiology. It was a bit unnerving, but it turned out to be less threatening than I had anticipated. In fact, I rather enjoyed myself. They have since given me a few other projects to work on. We'll see how they turn out.
