Medical ironies

Barbara, Age 78

Don’t know if this is exactly a story, but I thought I’d tell you a couple of ironic things. I went to the dermatologist. While I was there I asked him about a kind of dark indent in my cheek. I’m overweight, but he told me it was from a lack of fat right there! I also have spider veins and some varicose veins on my legs. When I found a black spot on the back of my tongue, I had it checked out at the dentist. He said it was very definitely a varicose vein! I couldn’t believe it.
