This is perfect - I never know what you're going to come up next for your experiments in style, and this one was fabulous! I apologise for this, but I feel the need to share my favourite doctor joke. Ready?
As if. Grin. I worked in a hospital at one stage. Admittedly they now make digital notes, but neither then nor now would there be a quote from the patient included. Back then the notes would be unintelligible hieroglyphics, now it might just be ‘BP 180/110, talks gibberish when asked simple questions but understands masking up, referred to GP if problems continue.’
But I like your version of course, because it’s Terry the verbose ER doctor interviewing the Terry we all know and love. Thanks so much Doctor Terry.
"He informed me that his blood pressure had been perfectly fine before he walked into the hospital." This cracks me up, Terry, because it is so true. There are times when I would rather just
stay home and risk dying, than make a trip to the nightmare emergency room at the hospital...
Heh, perfect in its detachment from the original PoV. It removes so much from the personal side of the story, but still provides the details.
Indeed. Thanks, Nathan. I was wondering if you might pick up on the mention of the muses, or the issue of whether the doctor is a reliable narrator! 😁
I very much enjoyed the line about channeling the muses ;)
Lol thought you might! By the way it's your turn to right the next instalment of our relay race!
😳😅 yep, it's on my list ... I haven't forgotten ... !

Doctor, doctor, people keep ignoring me.
Next, please!
Thanks for kind wordles
🤣 Groan. That's worse than MY jokes!
I'm not sure it is, you know...... 🤔😉😁🤣
🕶️🐈🥶
Hmm - I think Terry should take the doctor's advice, rest and allow his mind time to settle.
😉
😂😂
When you started this series, I never would've guessed you could take it this far, so many styles. And I know you have plenty more. Well done.
I have! Thanks Corey

😃 Thanks, Beth. I did use some poetic licence!
Good one ,Terry!
Cheers, Jim 😁

Me too, Sharron! 😁
And how is the concussion?
What concussion? “Who is this I?”
:-)
Hmm, that might be an interesting one to try!
