I draw the line HERE!
As many people know, I am a germ freak. I think I have mellowed out considerably, but today was a bit much. We had a new patient walk in the door. We greeted here, copied her insurance card and told her how to fill out the new patient form. She then asked if we had a restroom. Not an unusual question, however, she decided to take the clipboard and my blue pen with her to the bathroom. About 10 or 15 min later she saunters back into the waiting room with her form all filled out. I said, "Are you done?" -meaning her filling out the sheet, however I realized that could have something to do with her activity in the bathroom as well. Yuck! I am officially grossed out and yes I did wipe down my pen with antibacterial soap as soon as she walked back for her appointment. :)

haha, what a freak. I always laughed way hard when people picked up the yahtzee game that my roommate only used at certain times

you know, an immune system never gets sturdier unless it is excercised a little...
