Treating Depression With Tongue Firmly In Cheek
Doctor/Physician, Medical Office, Oklahoma, Punny, Tulsa, USA | Healthy | January 17, 2018
(On my most recent office visit, I get some coffee but am hustled into a room before I can mix in cream or sugar. I spot a container of tongue depressors and grab one to stir. The nurse chuckles a bit at my audacity, but it makes perfect sense to me; it’s just like any other wooden coffee stirrer. Then, I have a bright idea. A few moments later my doctor walks in
Me: “I think I need Zoloft for my tongue.”
Doctor: “Why is that?”
Me: “It’s been depressed.”
(I got the laugh I hoped for. Nice to have a doctor with a sense of humor.)
