[strange medicine, part 2] 10:00 PM
I told myself if I didn't feel any better by this morning that I'd find a doctor. Well, this morning (which was technically 2pm — I've been sleeping so much it's freakish) I felt like an extra in Shaun of the Dead so I began making rounds.
I had a list of doctor names from my friends, that I began to cross check against my insurance's website...
[humorous anecdote deleted]
...So I hopped back on the internet and eventually found a Doc'n'the'Box around the corner from me.
I discovered two things at the doctor's office: I have a respiratory infection, and I've gained 10 pounds in the last 3 months. I'm okay with neither of these things.
Sadly, my mediciation is to be taken with food, so it looks like my plans of following in Mary-Kate's footsteps just aren't meant to be. It seems as tho I'm going to be hitting the gym again routinely very soon. My honeymoon of "oh, it's finals" and "oh, it's the holidays" is officially over.
Now looking for a doctor in LA was humorous enough (what with IMDB listings and plastic surgeons abounding), but getting a prescription filled ... well it was almost priceless.
Have you ever seen two grown women in designer outfits pacing desperately while waiting for their Valium prescriptions to be filled? Have you ever seen someone declare "Do you know who I am?" while handing over a doctor's slip? Have you? If not, then the Rite-Aid on Sunset Bouledvard is for you.
OMG Kyle, you live in L.A.??? I live in Burbank. BE MY FRIEND! haha. You are so friggin talented you've got to hang with my. We'll swap doctor stories. :)

Posted by: carlos at March 10, 2005 7:01 AMOne of the assistants in our office just happened to Google me looking for any recent press for my practice, and she came across your site.
Please let Jerry know that it is highly inappropriate to refer to me as "Dr. Sexy", and that it will now be cripplingly awkward for both of us whenever he comes in to see me. He may want to consider looking for a new doctor.
Also, I don't appreciate you joking about my name.
Sincerely,
Jerry's Worst Nightmare
