final update, multinames

FINAL UPDATE
this is the final update on our video for the neurofilm festival
at the american academy of neurology annual meeting

our video didnt win but two well deserving videos did

our video did have the most viewings of any of the other ones
during the contest
we had over 3100+ views

thanks again to those who took the time to vote for our video
and to those who watched the video

MULTINAMES
recently when my wife she and i had our surprise mutual
birthday party i received several birthday gifts

yesterday while looking through the cards i noticed that mine
didnt really have my real name on them


one was addressed
happy birthday to
dr water

my neighbor who was also my patient when i was in practice
starting calling me dr water after i helped him design and put
in his rainwater collection system
ive been working on him to make that final conversion to a
complete system
right now he uses his rainwater to water his garden and to
provide water to his several horses

another was addressed
dr duct tape

if you look at my index on my blog or if you do a search of my
blog for duct tape you will see several ok a lot of entries for
duct tape

in my practice the biggest use was to use duct tape for wart removal
people would come in with a wart and i would recommend they
apply duct tape to the wart and leave it on for a week
many times the wart would peel off when you removed the duct tape
this especially worked well on the fingers and toes where freezing
would hurt like hell or cause scarring

doc i just paid a $20 copay to have you tell me to use duct tape
many sure were skeptical but many came back pleased
or
i could just freeze the wart off and make them cry
cause some scaring and charge $60 which the insurance probably
wouldnt pay
results the same


then there was the famous duct tape chair i did at home
that my wife she regrets ever picking up at some sale somewhere
where they sell junk and dragging it home to fix
i fixed it ok
i covered it with duct tape and its my prized possession
told her i wanted to be buried sitting up in that chair
they can just duct tape me in place

so dr duct tape it is



then theres the one
dr duck

so many of my younger patients didnt know my real name
they just thought dr duck was who i was

of course
i talked to them in donald duck talk and had donald duck
pictures for them to color and
had duck stuff everywhere
what else would they think right

so when i die
i would like for my obit to say

rip
dr water dr duct tape dr duck
you did good

rwi not dwi, donald duck, football, alzheimers, chocolate

RWI NOT DWI
a cowboy dubbed the sixth street cowboy was arrested for 
rwi not dwi-thats riding while intoxicated not driving while 
intoxicated
he and a friend were riding down sixth street in austin texas
(if you have ever been to austin and sixth street you know
what its like at night with the crowds) 
his horse and mule were impounded
he was arrested

apparently he rides his horse through austin all the time 
he claims the horse knows to stop at the redlights
(how does he do a turn signal)
when partying too much he just
gets on the horse who takes him home
(so he says)
just like the old time cowboys horses use to do 

this time he got a ticket (actually for public intoxication-he was drunk) 
after 10 days the horses can be  auctioned off
(you know what that means right)
however people came forward and donated money to get 
the horse and mule out of impoundment

he was back on sixth street again after getting the horse 
back but this time he wont get a rwi
(or so he says) 

good luck sixth street cowboy 
could he replace leslie as the downtown icon

(if you dont know who leslie is then just google 
'leslie in austin'    youll see and read more than you want
to know)

DONALD DUCK
those of you who know me know that im a donald duck
fan
some of you probably contributed to my collection 
thus am known as dr duck by a lot of patients especially 
the younger ones 

donalds full name was donald fauntleroy duck 

he was voted the 3rd most popular cartoon character
behind bugs bunny #2 and that dang mickey mouse #1
oh phooey 

but his voice-now here is my connection to donald- was
provided by clarence nash until his death in 1985
no am not kin to him 

actually as a child my brother and i learned to talk like 
donald duck while watching cartoons  a lot 
(what else was there to do in rural arkansas years ago) 

my youngest son he also learned to talk like donald and 
does an impression almost as good as mine

so maybe it is genetic

FOOTBALL 
dang those steelers messed up my
prediction
ravens beat steelers qb up but 
he did a old school yard play-just run
deep and ill sling it and you catch it 
prediction -1

packers crushed the falcons
now who used to be the packer qb
prediction +1


today seatle vs whoever
whoever should win 

jets vs pats
now that should be a good game 
jerk coach vs pretty boy
prediction its pats year again
but jets are tenacious

ALZHEIMERS AND CHOCOLATE
those who know me know that besides donald duck and 
sports and gardening and green living i love chocolate

read an article about a lady who had alzheimers
craved it all the time and would eat large quantities
when given the chance

have decided that i could do a study on myself to see if 
this could be a new treatment to slow or delay the development 
of the disease

maybe could get a grant to study it  

sometimes a bad thing can be a good thing
