In case some people have forgotten:

In case some people have forgotten, it's not okay to be stupid. Ignorant maybe..but do you know the definition of the meaning of ignorant?

Ignorant~lacking in knowledge or training; unlearned.

It has several other similiar meanings as well, but that's basically the gist of it. With all the world wide web of convenient knowledge we have available to us, why are we still stupid?

In my line of work I deal with alot of patients. Some of them are chiropractic patients and some of them are patients of another facility that we assist. Regardless of what doctor you actually see..the same rules apply.

*If you have a stomach virus and have been throwing up all morning, don't bring that crap into my office, I am after all a chiropractic office and do not prescribe medication.  If its so awful and you can do nothing but complain about it..think about that..why pass those germs on to me and the rest of the staff/patients in the office. Reschedule your appointment.

*If I ask you how old you are...its not "about 55". You can't be "about" anything in age, you either are 55 or your not. If your birthday is tomorrow and you turn 55 tomorrow, then you are currently 54.

*If I am giving you an eye exam and I ask you to read the smallest line on the chart, that you are most comfortable reading, and you complain that you cant see the small line..what does that tell you? That its not comfortable for you to read and move up a line on the chart.

I thought some things were common sense in this world, obviously I was mistaken, and will automatically assume you are stupid unless proven otherwise.
