If Crybaby Kyle is acquitted,

there’s going to be a huge surge in “shoot ‘n’ sob” murders in this country.

I’m so sick of these quasi-humans and their Rambo-movie intellects…

Stayed home from work today.

It’s just getting so exhausting…

Trying to enjoy a little me-time today…

"Everybody eats when they come to my house."

That old advertising slogan sure is true at Chéz Aristus.

My grandson’s transgender friends are visiting. We made up a big mess of pasta and sauce for their dinner.

Homemade brownies for dessert.

LGBTQ people are safe when they come to my house.

Friday Night Martini on the rocks Buzz.

Ask me anything.

Hella day at work today. If you have tears, prepare to shed them. Do not read past this point if you do not wish to shed them.

But I need some DU therapy…

New patients today. A refugee family from Afghanistan. All of them suffering from anxiety and PTSD. The mother and father have four children but only got three of them out. Their daughter is still there.

Their son was beaten mercilessly by the Taliban. I saw the scars.

That’s all I can talk about right now…

I love you all…

Yesterday, a patient asked me the stupidest question I think I've ever heard.

"How do I get rid of these nicotine stains on my fingers and teeth?"

It took everything I had not to

"Simple. Quit smoking."

It was pretty much the embodiment of the joke I've been telling for years:

"Doc, I'll do anything to get healthy!"

"Okay. Quit smoking."

"......Okay, I'll do anything but that!......"

Had to lock the clinic down. Crazy guy with a hatchet out there.

At least it's not a gun...

Cops are on the way...

Enjoying a nice vodka and tonic tonight.

How is everyone doing out there?

I love you all…

Finally. My week on-call is officially over.

I’m good until December.

Join me for a drink tonight!…
