  • Cranquis: Well I agree, your stomach sure feels bloated and gassy.
  • 40-something female patient: Yeah, ooh, ouch.
  • Cranquis: Having the gas pain again?
  • Patient: Yes, and I think I need to *farts loudly* OOPS! Oh my God, I'm so sorry.
  • Cranquis: No big deal.
  • Patient: I've just been so gassy and sometimes it *another loud fart* OOPS! just slips out, oh I'm so embarrassed.
  • Cranquis: Hey, really, it's just fine. In fact, think of it this way: for once in your life, you are in a situation where it is socially permissible and encouraged to pass gas as much as possible.
  • Patient: Really? Oh, that's so *long and strong, loud and proud, pants-ripping fart* wonderful. Tee hee!
  • Nurse: Dr. Cranquis, come quick, this guy is choking!
  • Cranquis: Sir, are you ok?
  • 40-something male patient *sweating, red-faced, but conscious and sitting up; speaking in rough raspy voice*: I'VE GOT A CHICKEN BONE... IN MY THROAT...
  • Cranquis *listening to lungs, palpating neck, looking in mouth*: How long has it been there?
  • Patient: OW MY NECK HURTS... 45 MINUTES... IT WON'T MOVE...
  • Cranquis: We're sending you to the ER right away. NURSE CALL AN AMBULANCE!
  • Patient: DON'T WANT... AMBULANCE... DRIVE MYSELF...
  • Cranquis: Oh I don't think so, sir, your BP is 210 over 106 and you're in distress, I want an ambulance to take you in case you pass out before you get there.
  • Patient: I SAID I DON'T... *swallowing hard* OUCH! *voice suddenly sounds normal* I said I don't want an ambulance. Hey. Wait a second. The pain is gone! *test-swallows again, grins* I think it just passed down!
  • Cranquis *surreptitiously wiping sweaty palms on scrub pants*: You are one lucky fellow, sir.
  • Me: God, can I ask You a question?
  • God: Sure
  • Me: Promise You won't get mad
  • ... ... ... ... ...
  • God: I promise
  • Me: Why did You let so much stuff happen to me today?
  • God: What do u mean?
  • Me: Well, I woke up late
  • God: Yes
  • Me: My car took forever to start
  • God: Okay
  • Me: at lunch they made my sandwich wrong & I had to wait
  • God: Huummm
  • Me: On the way home, my phone went DEAD, just as I picked up a call
  • God: All right
  • Me: And on top of it all off, when I got home ~I just want to soak my feet in my new foot massager & relax. BUT it wouldn't work!!! Nothing went right today! Why did You do that?
  • God: Let me see, the death angel was at your bed this morning & I had to send one
  • of My Angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that
  • Me (humbled): OH
  • GOD: I didn't let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road.
  • Me: (ashamed)
  • God: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick & I didn't want you to catch what they have, I knew you couldn't afford to miss work.
  • Me (embarrassed): Okay
  • God: Your phone went dead bcuz the person that was calling was going to give false witness about what you said on that call, I didn't even let you talk to them so you would be covered.
  • Me (softly): I see God
  • God: Oh and that foot massager, it had a shortage that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I didn't think you wanted to be in the dark.
  • Me: I'm Sorry God
  • God: Don't be sorry, just learn to Trust Me.... in All things , the Good & the bad.
  • Me: I will trust You.
  • God: And don't doubt that My plan for your day is Always Better than your plan.
  • Me: I won't God. And let me just tell you God, Thank You for Everything today.
  • God: You're welcome child. It was just another day being your God and I Love looking after My Children...

  • Perry *giggling*: Ok!
  • 11-year-old big sister Lucretia: OH NO I HAD THAT DONE ONCE, AND IT MADE MY NOSE BLEED!

  • Patient: NO BUT I'M ARMY TRAINED, I COULD KILL MY MOM WITH A PENCIL THROUGH THE EYE SOCKET. I'M A DANGEROUS BITCH.

  • Patient: OH YEAH, I NEED A VACATION FROM THIS CRAP. PLEASE CALL THE COPS TO COME GET ME.
  • Cranquis: I'm on it!
