I have a ten o&#8217;clock appointment with Dr. Samji. The name&#8217;s Patrick Casey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Could you spell that for me? C-A-S-E-Y. C-A-S-E-Y\u3002Yes. Please have a seat, and we&#8217;ll call you. My leg&#8217;s <strong>stiff<\/strong> today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to ask the doctor if there&#8217;s anything you can do about it. They never have anything useful to say to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s not true. And if you don&#8217;t take care of your leg, it&#8217;s only going to get worse. They say exercise can help, you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ok, ok. You&#8217;re in a had mood today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, I&#8217;m doing the best I can. Hospitals make me nervous . . . Doctors put me <strong>on edge<\/strong>. And I&#8217;m worried about my kids, one says she wants to go to music school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So? But music? What kind of a job will you get if you study music?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Come on, Dad . . . Music is big business, there are all kinds of jobs. Sure, turning pages for some <strong>dumb<\/strong> piano player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Come on, you know my dream is to he a songwriter. You and a million others.<br>I think I have some talent. Why don&#8217;t you study nursing or something?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s not me. It&#8217;s not what I want, I want to study music. Well, if you ask me . . . I think you&#8217;re making a big mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not if it&#8217;s what I want to do. Mr.Casey.<br>You&#8217;re a stubborn woman. You bet! I take after my father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look left, right, up, down. What happened to your leg, Mr.Casey? Oh, a wall fell on it.<br>A wall? Yeah, when I was a fireman, I was in a hotel fire. . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve been on <strong>disability<\/strong> pay ever since the accident. Let&#8217;s have a little talk here, Mr.Casey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have found several potential problems. Your <strong>cholesterol<\/strong> is very high, the <strong>EKG<\/strong> tells us there is a slight heart problem<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>and the <strong>circulation<\/strong> in your leg is. . . ah, <strong>how should I put it<\/strong>. . . . getting worse. If we don&#8217;t do something right away, your current situation could lead to a <strong>stroke<\/strong> or heart attack. . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We strongly recommend that you start an exercise program. And we have to put you on a strict diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And get this prescription filled. . . Whatever you say, Doc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here comes a taxi. So, what did the doctor say? Not much. Everything&#8217;s ok. No real problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you need to stop at the drugstore? No, later maybe. Let&#8217;s go straight home.<br>Becky, buzzer. I&#8217;ll be right down, Matt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I won&#8217;t be late. Can I get you anything before I leave? No, no, I&#8217;ll be fine.<br>What&#8217;s that for? Because I love you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love you, too, honey. Go on. Matt&#8217;s waiting. See you later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hey, welcome to our fourth annual Memorial Day cookout. Coming up, one of my famous charcoal-broiled hamburgers. . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>and how &#8217;bout an all-American hot dog. . . and, of course, Sal&#8217;s homemade Boston baked beans. So, how have you been?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, so busy, you know, with my day job, and some <strong>gigs<\/strong> at night, guitar lessons, and. . . Are you still working at the factory?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m hoping to go to college. . . music school. Good for you, which one?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, my first choice is the Boston School of Music, but I&#8217;ve applied to four colleges, all together. Oh, all four will want you, I mean you have such a great voice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wish I had a talent like that. Come on, you have a husband who loves you, a beautiful daughter, and your own apartment. . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I mean, what more could you. . . You&#8217;re right. I mean. . . I can&#8217;t complain. Life is good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what does Matt think about your plans to study music? He doesn&#8217;t really understand, he doesn&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll make it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Men, they&#8217;re all alike. All they think about is money and sex. Yeah. . .<br>How are you doing? I&#8217;m excellent. How are you doing? Good to see you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nice to see you. Feeling good? Hey, Rebecca, you get more lovely every day. . . Look at you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks, Jack. Hey, but Sandy, she&#8217;s the love of my life.<br>Jack. Hey, I&#8217;m thirsty, I&#8217;m going to get a drink. You want anything?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, maybe later, thanks. Jacks in a good mood!<br>No, not really. He&#8217;s had too many beers. He lost his job yesterday. Oh, no. . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She is so cute. I want to have a little girl like that some day.<br>Last time I checked, you need a man for that. . . the right man. I know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Someone who will be a good father. It&#8217;s hard to imagine Jack as a Dad. He gets so crazy sometimes. . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Babe, I&#8217;m leaving. We just got here. So? I haven&#8217;t even said hello to Sal. I&#8217;m leaving. If you want to stay, you can stay. I&#8217;m leaving, ok. Is that ok? Excuse me, Rebecca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell Sal something came up. What was it? The volleyball game?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, just tell him the truth: Jack&#8217;s upset because he lost his job. What&#8217;s with him? <br>Did he lose his temper again?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah, and he lost his job, too. Poor Sandy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May I help you? I have a ten o&#8217;clock appointment with Dr. Samji. The name&#8217;s Patrick Casey.
