Weird things people say to you
So I went to my dermatologist appointment, as I do every six months, cos I have this hair problem. Nothing much about it, I've doing this for 8 years now and it seems I'll have to do it for the rest of my life, or so claims the doctor, course he could be just trying to keep me as a costumer, I mean patient.
I did the usual nitrogen treatment, so far so good, the normal prickles as the nitro reactivates the blood vessels so my hair will grow a bit more. Back to the room where he writes the prescriptions and the first question kinda stuns me: "So any babies planned or on the way ?" WTF, hell no, do I look like someone who's going to have a baby?o_O Now that I think about he was probably asking because maybe some medicine he prescribed might be harmful to a fetus, but at the time all I could think was I'm still only 25, I don't want any kids just yet, HEEELLLPP!!!
So after that the doctor starts this soliloquy about how the weather has been completely of track, summer from late April to mid October (here it should start in mid June and end in mid September) and how that unbalances the body, especially in my case cos the hair cycle follows the weather and if the weather's off so is the hair, and how the problem with my hair is not what falls but what doesn't grow.
Suddenly he's stars talking about the desertification of the interior regions and the aging population of the country, saying that people used to have loads of kids and now have only one or two making us an aging country and as old people die the ones left aren't enough to replace the ones that are gone. Ok, a "nice" and accurate sociological view of western world societies, so what does that has to do with anything?!? As if he read my mind, he pointed to my head and said your hair is like this, the old ones die and fall, as they should, but the new ones aren't enough to replace them. And he went back to the prescription saying that because of all this he'll have to reinforce my meds, wished me a merry xmas and a happy new year (cos we wont be seeing each other again for 6 months) .Dumbfounded I left his office with the feeling that that was the weirdest appointment I had ever had.
