Excellent piece @canadian-coconut!
Which reminded me as I was reading it, when Patrick went to have a CDL physical a few years ago, the doctor freaked out because he found out he had been off the medication for a couple of years. Even though Patrick told him he felt great, the doctor demanded a blood work up and told him "You can't just stop taking your thyroid medicine! You could die!" HAHAHAHA Meanwhile, the nurse who checked his blood pressure and all that had just asked my husband "WHo are you, Superman?" Because it all looked great. By the way, after the blood work, never heard another peep from the doctor, not even to tell us it looked great. Figures
