I took my wife to the eye doctor the other day. While I waited for her in the lobby an
older gentleman, sitting in an electric scooter chair, was called in by the
doctor. The man was a Vietnam
Vet. He was wearing a white cotton
glove on his left hand, obviously to protect some kind of skin problem. He had an oxygen tank strapped to the
back of his chair. The tank had a
tube running to his nose. He wore fairly
thick glasses. He was way
overweight. He was wheezing. And when he talked his voice sounded
like gravel. The doctor said: “How
you doin’ sir?” He answered: “Just
fine.” And drove his scooter in through the door. Just fine? Wow.
