Title: For once, a beneficial CH
Post by rapunzel on Mar 24^th, 2006, 8:22am

My husband and I went to the tax accountant yesterday-to pick up our tax forms. They had a descrepancy And said I owed them a W-2 form for 3300 dollars before they would file OuR taxes. Neither my husband or I knew what they were talking about because i only worked at my one job all last year...so, wHile we were waiting, I had a Ch coMe on- It was ramping Up cOMPlete with swollen red eye, etc...I Told my husband that i would be ouTside. After the cH passed thru all stages and had once again become bearable, I went back inside where he was losing the argument with the woman. i said one sentence: that we had had our appt with them before we had our tax forms and had given Guesstimates to the amt of money we had made, and that the 3300 Dollars was THE Difference btwn tHe guess and the actual amt.The woman took one lOok at me, stepped back and said "OH,okAy, THATs fIne then". heh heh hEH. I don't know If I looked strung out or psychotic- but whatever works.

If she was looking at your W2 (and she should have been) what WAS her problem.... Get a new tax person! They're suppose to be working for YOU!

I had a CH in the middle of an audit one time -- shook up the whole office, but I won the audit. I didn't LEAVE.... I think they just wanted to get rid of me! Sometimes they DO come in handy.... ;;D If ya gotta have them - pick your times...

If you're like me when I'm getting hit real hard, it was probably you spinning your head 360 degrees while speaking in tongues that convinced her to agree with you!!!!

The most beneficial CH I ever had was when I first started seeing my Dr. who I now love to death....

I'd gone to him for something else. Nurse put me in a really warm room and I had to wait there for him to come in for about 30 mins.

I started getting hit about 10 mins into this wait.

By the time he DID come in I was peeling the wallpaper off his walls. He stood in the doorway with his arms folded across his chest just staring at me. He has never once EVER questioned me when I asked him to try something new or to prescribe another preventative or abortive.

any beneficial CH's we can get the better.

Something similar Linda with one of my visits to the neuro. I started with a ch in the waiting room and by the time I was escorted back to the room and he came in, it was a full blown headache. He asked me why I was there and I just looked at him - he asked me if I wanted an injection and he actually gave me the shot himself LOL LOL....then he allowed me to take a quick nap before driving home in a nice dark room. He's the best!!!!

So not only did I get quick abortive meds, but he atually witnessed the headache for my future cycles. Now I call him and he does most of the prescribing, etc. over the phone and I sometimes don't even have to go in for a visit - ;;D
