Most of my favorite quotes come from patients. You know, you just can't make that stuff up. About a year ago, a patient came into my life. When I think about her, my heart is happy. My dad actually grew up across the street from her.
She said things to me like:
"I can't come to therapy. I'm not dressed yet." Of course she said this and then pulled her shirt up over her head to demonstrate that she wasn't wearing a bra.
Along the same lines, she told me one day, "Oh dear, they forgot to cover my dark spots [nipples]."
Upon response to finding out I was pregnant, "You know, I got married. I got pregnant and then I had a baby. I got pregnant again and had another baby. I got pregnant a third time and I had another baby. After the third time, I found out that was causing that and I never did it again."
I ended up leaving her when I took a new job and she passed away a few months later. May she rest in peace.
