As I was in a doctors waiting room and waiting for Louise to finish her mammogram I saw a drug detail person near me. After asking the person if she was in fact a drug detail person and being told that she was I told her how she could make a favorable impression on doctors by increasing their patient volume and the quality of service that they provided to their patients.
I pointed out that many people said it was unhealthy to be fat and that the average American is getting fatter. I pointed out that if both of those statements are true than the average doctor should be expecting to see a lot more fat patients needing his or her services. I briefly explained that part of providing patient comfort is to have a comfortable place for the patient to sit down and therefore every doctors waiting room should have at least a couple of armless chairs or benches. I explained that it was not good medicine to create a situation where the patient would not come to the doctor until the level of suffering was greater than the embarrassment of having to ask for an armless chair.
The drug detail person actually looked interested in what I was telling her and thanked me for providing her with the information. At that point Louise came back into the waiting room and I had the honor of leaving the waiting room at the company of the most beautiful and wonderful woman in the waiting room.
Off-topic note: as most of you know my daughter Lori is autistic and in a group home. Yesterday, for the second time in a couple of months, the staff leader told me that Lori is having the best year that she has ever had, the last couple of years have been better for Lori, and that this is probably due to the entrance of Louise Wolfe in my daughters life.
