<\/a>By Diane Batshaw Eisman, MD FAAFP<\/strong><\/p>\nThat’s it!<\/p>\n
It has become too much.<\/p>\n
I have really had it and I refuse to take it anymore.<\/p>\n
Enough is enough.<\/p>\n
I have to type this in the wee hours of the morning when she is not around. And then I will post this quickly on Sunday morning, before she has a chance to trundle down the chairs from breakfast, in her scruffy night shirt, reeking of coffee.<\/p>\n
My time has finally come. I am the often cursed, much maligned, talked about in negative terms and made fun of…..DESK OF DOCTOR CURMUDGEON\u00ae!<\/p>\n
And this really makes me rattle my drawers. SHE has even threatened to set me afire! Harsh. Harsh. Harsh.<\/p>\n
I have done everything for her.<\/p>\n
I support the weight of the papers and charts and books and telephone and computer.<\/p>\n
I am always there. I never run down the hall or to the bakery for a bite of chocolate croissant.<\/p>\n
Never!<\/p>\n
I am loyal<\/p>\n
I am faithful<\/p>\n
I do not deserve this treatment.<\/p>\n
It is all her fault. I refuse to take any of the blame.<\/p>\n
Is it too difficult for her to, at least, stack things in neat piles? Too hard to put down a coaster, so I don’t have rings from coffee mugs on my once beautiful surface? Too impossible for that supposedly big brain of hers to remember to cap her pens?<\/p>\n
Oh, I could go on and on about the perverse treatment I have received at her sticky, chocolate stained hands.<\/p>\n
But what is really stinging are those awful things that she writes and says about me. The only thing that I am grateful for is that she avoids twitter. Just imagine her lying tweets?<\/p>\n
I am now standing up for myself.<\/p>\n
All that she writes…please remember IT IS ALL FAKE NEWS!<\/p>\n
Doctor Curmudgeon\u00ae is Diane Batshaw Eisman, M.D., a physician-satirist. This column originally appeared on SERMO, the leading global social network for doctors.<\/p>\n
