Not the droid you are looking for

One of my many e-mail addresses apparently has a fairly common name in it.  I sometimes get vacation pictures or business iteneraries from folks because they mis-spell the address they really wanted to send it to.

Today, though, I receive a message from a doctor meant for a patient (I googled the doctor to make sure they were real).  And I wanna say to this poor woman – I’m glad you tested negative for syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV.  So sorry about the cholesterol.

Update: Current theory here at the office is that I may be related to this person (the e-mail address in question contains my last name). If so, well, I know what I’m bringing up at Thanksgiving Dinner.

  1. I can’t wait for the followup appointment. I’ll be sure to share any more random, anonymous lab results I receive. Thank god for the interweb!

  2. Too funny! Twice now we’ve gotten messages for some guy from an out of state court… I’m a wee bit worried some bails bonds man is going to show up at our door someday.

  3. I’d love to be a fly on the wall at your Thanksgiving Dinner. That conversation would sure beat the hell out of listening to my father’s repetitive tales of the turmoil that came with having three teenagers under one roof (my brother, 15, me, 14, and my sister, 13). Wasn’t a real picnic for US either!*SIGH*
    I remember when my DH and I were the family scandal to be openly discussed. That was the one year we didn’t go to Thanksgiving at my father’s place.
