  Fun in The Diabetes clinic today where I am spending the next two weeks doing ambulatory care

  Obviously Entitled Woman: Hi, I’m a longtime patient of Dr G’s
  Receptionist: Yes?
  OEW: She usually sees patients on tuesdays, right?
  Receptionist: Yes, she’s in clinic now. We’re pretty backed up today
  OEW: I need to know if I could slip in to see him this afternoon
  Receptionist: Probably not, as we are fairly busy. *looks at appt book* We might be able to fit you in next month
  OEW: (in wink wink nudge nudge super secret spy tones) It’s just that I’m very concerned and I thought I should try and get in while I can, before socialized medicine happens. I’m used to be able to see my specialists right away. I’m very concerned
  Receptionist: well we are still full today, but I think you have time since any kind of socialized care wont be able to be implemented for several years at least.
  OEW: Well, then, single payer. whatever. Anyhow, I want to see her today, before the socialism

  I have since decided to work this little gem into my everyday phrasing as soon as possible and I encourage all of xangaland to join me.

  Just let me finish this post. before the socialism
  I’m heading out to the bar to grab a drink before the socialism!
  Woo boy am I beat. I guess I better go to bed early. before the socialism
  When do you want dinner? before the socialism!

  isn’t that fun? I totally wanted to respond, I’m sorry, the socialism started this morning. Instead of an appointment you are required to report to city hall to turn over all of your income above subsistence level. While there, you’ll also be assigned a gay spouse. Have a nice day, comrade!
