Allen

The man of a thousand anecdotes. When the nurse took my blood pressure before my examination, it was about 10 points up from usual and I mentioned that to her. She said the doctor would just tell me a joke and take it again and it would be back to normal. He has a story for every medical condition known and he doesn't seem to repeat them which is a talent in and of itself. Coincidentally enough, his wife is our kids' pediatrician (not really a coincidence; I asked her for a recommendation for me and he was on the list).
