Medical History

My Uber driver says, “At first I thought you wanted to be picked up either in front of the entrance to the part of the hospital where I had my gall bladder removed or the part where I go to visit my urologist. But it turns out that you were waiting in front of the building where I had my heart surgery!”

The driver is way past 80, and the recitation of his medical history lasted us pretty much all the way from St Louis to my house. Which is great because the fellow has hearing problems and blissfully did not expect me to speak.

    I certainly hope your driver’s hearing is good enough to hear car horns, fire engine sirens, and other vitally important street sounds! 🙂
