things you can't say to your patients #2

to the sweet sweet 60 some-odd year old lady with the silicone breasts of a 20 something year old hollywood starlet, 'wow, these are some very nice boobs. very symetrical, perky and firm. in fact, they are so firm, i can't even listen to your lung sounds to assess your pnemonia like i'd like to because they aren't sagging down under your armpits as your-age appropriate boobs should and would be.' what i can't help thinking about everytime i encounter a set is that someday, all that will be left will be a bunch of bones and two perfectly shaped, symetrical bags of silicone sitting in a fancy wooden box. that would make a fun halloween costume though, huh? i'd have to explain it to everybody however, and that would get old fast.
