I was just revisiting this thread and reading my own posts too and realized, I haven't tripped like that in some time now. I do find myself taking a corner at work too sharp and after the fact, reminding myself that I am being an idiot! When I go from my desk to the insurance desk, I have to walk to the left, around a corner, and then to the left again around another corner, and I realize sometimes that I do it too quickly and I feel myself going off balance and the shocks I receive off the wall is proof of it! I hate those metal strips on corners!

Last week, a patient walked out of her shoe, turned and came back to get it, she looked at me with this sad look. I said, "It happens to me too!", she smiled and walked away. Well, now that I have said it isn't happening to me, it probably will! For now, my feet are having other ailments, it seems to go in stages with mine!

Everyone keep warm--tis cold here on the island--15 this morning!

We urge all doctors to take time to listen to your patients.. don't "isolate" symptoms but look at the whole spectrum. If a patient tells you s/he feels as if s/he's falling apart and "nothing seems to be working properly", chances are s/he's right!
