David Mitchell
This is kind of funny.
How often did I hear stories of my Dad getting "cornered" at a cocktail parrty or social engagement by someone wanting to grill him about their various conditions and maladies - for what seemed like forever a couple of times. Outside of his office, the hospital, or the Medical School, he would never introduce himself as anything but Bill Mitchell and even asked some of his party hosts not to let on that he was a physician.
Now by the way Jim, I was wondering if you could tell me what this pain in my back is from and what do you suggest I take for it?
Maybe you could set up a schedule of "office hours" for some part of our future reunions and Janie could set up some sort of advanced appointment system on this website.
I'll take the half hour at 9:30 if it's still open. But before you examine me, I'll need time to digest my lemonaide and cheese sandwiches, with or without the crust cut off.
