Deep Throat

(As told to us)

"It's funny how little people know about anything that is medical. Just the other day I overheard two employees talking, one of them said that she couldn't take any kind of pill, for fear of not being able to swallow it and it getting stuck in her throat. The other told her had a phobia of taking pills and that the problem was all in her head. I couldn't stop laughing, this was like working with toddlers. Of course I had to interject, I told them that fear is not the problem, many people suffer from extremely small throats or as we in the medical field say, "small esophagi" Anyways, they were both suprised to hear this and I had to calm them down. I told them that its all actually really simple, first they had to go get a cat scan and after that the doctor will more than likely will want to do an operation to enlarge your esophagus, this procedure is pretty common. After they get that done she will be able to swallow pills and all it will cost her is some time and around $1500-$5000."



-----I just want to say I am glad "Rachel" is not my doctor. The other two employees had a fear of pills or swallowing it had nothing to do with having a "small esophagi," so whats does the local MD advise? Get a "common" procedure done. A quick google search on enlarging an esophagus shows that the doctors literally need to scrap tissue away from the sides to make the opening bigger. And this seems to be the solution in cases where the patients have chest/throat diseases not phobias. The good news out of all of this that even though the other two employees are scared of pills, they aren't stupid and did not heed the good doctor's advise.

Just a little follow-up to the story about "Rachel" and her "flashing incident"

So earlier today a fellow employee overheard a conversation between "Rachel" and a few other employees here at the office. One of the employees mentioned about driving down to Mexico for the weekend. To which our good buddy replied, "Oh I'm too scared to go to Mexico, I would never go there!"

-----You know the funny thing about all this I swear at least once every two weeks she mentions about how she did something in Mexico to our side of the office, but yet tells people on the other side of the office she has never been and is too scared. Is she some sort of 007 who cant tell the truth for sake of world stability or just a habitual liar? I believe the latter, problem is she probably beleives the former.

Lawrence of Armenia

(As told to us)

"I have been dating this hairdresser for months, its great because he knows exactly how to do my hair and free! HAHAHAHA! Well, we are going to break up because his family is pressuring him to take an armenian virgin! Of course he told me that if he had a choice he would be with me, but he doesn't have a choice. Get this he wants to be with me so much that he wants me to move back to armenia with him, but I don't want to do that because I want to work.

So afterwards I had a talk with his mom and she like me of course, but then a week later he told me that his mom still wanted him to be with an armenian. I told you know we make enough money we don't need anyone else we can make it together with our two combined salaries, but he said he couldn't. So we didn't have much of a choice and had to break up."

----You know there really isnt too much The Office 1Upper can say to this. I mean sure she was dating the hairdresser the same time she was dating the guy from austrailia and while with the body builder, but I am not one to question the validity of her "dates." This may be the "one that got away" to our friend here, we here like to think of it more as the "one that ran away"
