Medical history short stories

Originally posted 2017-08-24 10:44:51. Don’t you hate it when you get your average medical history form and you’re instructed to list your surgeries and hospitalizations and you don’t have enough room to list the things up until your 20’s…mind you you are currently 44 years old.

Was it or wasn’t it number 8? Oh well who’s counting.
