For whatever reason, she never wanted to be involved with anyone in the medical profession, so she’s say “No thanks, but if you have a brother, I’d go out with him!”. This was all told to me by my mother, who swears that my grandmother truly meant it in earnest- she actually would like to have gone out with their non-doctor brothers, but this is also just a comedy gold answer.

    Anestesiologist for us. Last time I went to the hospital he was INSANELY professionsal. The whole team came by prior to the surgury on my leg, the Anestesiologist stayed behind and spoke with me about my medical history. The next morning before I went into surgury all of the medical team came into my aurgury prep room and spoke with me. the surgeon signed my leg after asking the same questions as everyone else. What is your name, your birthday, who is the president(other making sure your present questions) and then asked me to describe the surgury I was Having. The Anestesiologist did the same thing but stuck around for a while and told me he took my file home and did research on my super rare genetic disorder and wanted me to know he informed his team on the complications that may arrise due to this so he was prepared and prepared "his team" for anything to make sure I stay alive, which was super cool. I do know several of the surgury techs who saw my name and tried to visit before I went under but were unable to get a gap in surgury to see me, which was alright I saw them afterwords.

      It’s a loop. If he only tells lies, then he’s not allowed to confirm he only tells lies because that would be a truth. But if he says he doesn’t tell only lies, that would be a lie, and it just circles back to the first issue.
