Just got home!

Went to a dinner and chat sponsored by TEVA the manufacturers of my MS medication Copaxone.
The neurologist that spoke was from Sarasota County, one of the few that I had not seen, ha!
His information was old hat to me, since I unfortunately did not glean anything new from his talk.
One woman asked a question, so I thought that opened the floor for anyone too.
Horrifically I asked and interjected after that, perhaps too much.
He spoke strongly about medical marijuana, and how he has been prescribing it to his patients.
I voted for it to be used in our state.
But for some unknown reason to me, I played the devil's advocate about it giving people the "munchies" which had to do with his previous belaboring of obesity and watching your weight.
That is why, more than likely!
He also was a bit backwards in discussing his daughters and when they were having their periods, (excuse the exactness of my mentioning... WHAT HE REALLY DID SAY!) how emotional his household was! (A Trump clone stood before me?)
Then he went on to discuss husbands working hard and their wives spending their  money!
He had me seething in the audience.
I worked for thirty years and all our money was ours!

I was living a time machine throwback to the nineteen fifties male chauvinist pig attitude injected between, so not so new info on MS!

He truly was a disaster.     
His answer to the cannabis discussion was how long it had been around, all the way since the 19th century it had been used medicinally, and I said so had been cocaine back then!
You see, where this was going... Nah, the whole idea of going to this thing was a mistake.

I lacked the respect his title should have given to his talk, but I couldn't buy any of it, since he was so off the mark with going off topic in so many WRONG DIRECTIONS!

Geez that feels good.

 Sorry if any doctors out there were offended by my brash description of what transpired, but all true!

So there! ( I am now sticking my very adult tongue out at all of you!)
