facing the facts

to the patient's sister-in-law who was offering suggestions today regarding surgical exposures for the midface fracture: thanks. really appreciated the advice. also really enjoyed hanging around while you told us about your friend who had some cuts in her face and they were so bad at first but now it has almost been two years since she got injured and you can really barely see the scars and she was using organic mint oil so maybe we should think about using that after surgery on your sister-in-law because really you cannot see the scars anymore and is that the same scar you would get after a facelift because no one is getting younger here so maybe we should do a facelift at the same time that we fix her facial fractures just joking but seriously your other friend got a facelift and she looks five years younger but she had a blood clot after surgery so maybe we should check what blood type the patient is in case she gets a blood clot and if she needs blood you would be happy to donate some but you need to know what blood type she is.

important details have been obscured, not to worry. for instance, it was not truly mint oil, but rather peppermint. and it was biodynamic, not organic. I would give further examples, but would not want to undo the elaborate veil of secrecy I have devised.
