A Dictionary from A to Z: Appointment....Time you are scheduled to show up in the doctor's office to begin a two-hour wait to see the doctor. Blood....Essential life-giving substance, extracted from hospitalized patients in small quantities until it is gone. Medicalese....Medical gibberish talk, which mainly consists of using more and bigger words in place of fewer and smaller words, in order to sound mysterious and impressive. Midwife.... Doctor's second wife, coming after the first wife (dumped after putting the doctor through long years of schooling), and before the last wife (the young, pretty thing the doctor marries in his declining, senile years). Zippo-Brain Syndrome.... Ailment common among Bosses. Caused by the ancient, barbaric and nonsensical habit of wearing neckties. Studies show that neckties constrict arteries supplying the brain, resulting in brain-dead behavior.
