Young Pipe Smoking Doctor!

[rockymtnsmoker]

So, I'm having my bum leg checked out prior to beginning physio this week and a resident is gathering info before I meet with the surgeon. Among the standard questions is "do you smoke?" I admit to enjoying a few bowls of pipe tobacco a week.
Turns out the young doc is from Montreal and a pipe smoker. His dad is a long-time enthusiast and introduced him to the hobby. Dad regularly buys the young feller pipes to add to his rotation. We have a nice chat about pipes and the ridiculous price of tobacco in Alberta (even compared to Quebec) before getting back to the leg.
It was just really nice to chat with a young medical professional who is into the piping lifestyle.
Beyond that, got out of the zimmer splint I've been trapped in for a month and have a hinged knee brace so I can start

walking again. Even better, the physiotherapist I'll be seeing twice a week for the next six weeks or so is really nice and kinda hot. A little pleasure to go with the pain won't be so bad.

Glad to hear you are on the mend. Nice to hear about a medical professional that doesn't buy into all the anti smoking argument.

That is a pleasant surprise and good to hear Rocky. Also glad that you are getting better with that leg.
Did you recruit him to the forums?

Glad your knee is getting back to normal Steven. Or, at least on the mend if not quite normal yet.
Good luck with the physio!!!

Cheers guys and @yazimataz I did suggest he check us out on PM forums.

Hey Rocky,
First thing, mend quickly. Then bring your doctor into the fold so we can have somebody who will refute all the nonsense we have to put up with.

Rocky, you'd better find yourself another therapist or your treatment may go on indefinitely. Seriously,

hope you heal fast and well.

ROFLMAO, that's a good one MSO. Get better soon Rocky!

Glad you're feeling better, Steve! Just think, you'll be 100 percent by summer.
Hopefully your doctor will decide to join us.

That was nice that you had a talk with a Dr. pipe smoker, and that you are getting better ::

 

[vdrifter]

See, not all docs are health nuts It's only a problem when you start saying only a few bowls an hour

Rocky
Good luck with your recovery-hope its speedy
I go to several docs lately, and it's always nice to have hot ones--- not to sound too sexist, now. LOL

 

[peckinpahhombre]

Great story and glad you are recovering.

 

[oldmannk]

[ithelouniverse]

Ive been meaning to pm your status and like everyone i give my best wishes.
Maybe you could make up for the accidental gown photo with one of the therapist. Just a thought.
Keep up the good recovery.
