Overheard

Some RBOE* from the last 36 hours:
— Managed care vs. hurting patient. All that was needed was a referral to another provider in a possibly emergency medical condition. After hearing what happened, why was it so hard to say”just go — now”?
— rookie insurance agent giving a sales pitch to a peer. The major portion of which was this: “Did I scare you yet?” At least it wasn’t an agent from my company.
— A non-tech person trying to get tech support from a geek parent via cell phone. The geek struck out.
— Tales of weekend vermin discoveries that make our mouse woes pale in comparison.
