Today, I went to see a doctor about some of the memory problems I've been having. After the appointment, I could barely remember a thing he told me. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I went to the doctor for a check up, having had a head injury a week ago and suffering some memory loss. Turns out, the medicine he gave me for my head has memory loss as a side effect. He then said, "I told you. Don't you remember?" After I said no, he said, "I figured." and giggled. FML
Today, I went to the doctor because I felt sick. He told me to describe the symptoms I had. With every new symptom I described, he took a step back. FML
Today, it's been several weeks, I went to the doctor for an ear infection and I still don't feel too good. It was then that I realized the doctor forgot to prescribe me medication for said infection. That explains a few things. FML
Today, after I'd finally decided to see a doctor about my anxiety and insomnia, I was so nervous about what the doctor would think of me that I had anxiety attacks that kept me from sleeping a wink all night. I ended up oversleeping and missing the appointment I was so nervous about. FML
Today, I have problems with my memory. I asked a teacher if I could let my class know a bit about it. The teacher said I'd already told my class about it. My class had even asked a few questions to me about it. I don't remember anything about it. Maybe it didn't happen and the teacher just lied to me. FML
Today, I had a doctor's appointment. I arrived early so I could check in with the receptionists about this weird communication mixup that's caused me to miss my last two appointments. Despite what my appointment card said, I arrived to find the office closed. FML
Today, I walked into a room and completely forgot why I was there. I then left, remembered why, walked back in, and immediately forgot again. I'm beginning to wonder if I need to undergo cognitive tests or something. FML
Today, I left work early because I had a doctor's appointment. After sitting in the waiting room for twenty minutes, I realized I was at my old doctor's office. My actual appointment was across town. I was already late. FML
Today, after countless nights of no sleep and only some spontaneous naps, I was finally seeing a sleeping doctor to analyze the problem. I missed the appointment because I ended up sleeping through my alarm after not being able to sleep at all last night. FML
Today, I went to the doctor's office for an appointment. After waiting for ages, I asked the receptionist what the delay was. Apparently, I had no standing appointment today. This is coming from the same receptionist who checked me in nearly two hours ago. FML

You need to invest in a camera man to follow you around and record your life.

When a doctor talks to me, I awkwardly nod along and pretend I understand. Then I go home and realize all the questions I could have asked.

Used to do this. Thankfully I bring an iPad with me now and write down questions beforehand.

There is actually research that shows that patients remember just under 50% of what doctors tell them. That's why I'm able to make up so much shit and get away with it. No one remembers well enough to look it up later.

I was going to look up your percentage but when I got to google I forgot the fact...

I can imagine you doing that. "And snuff 30 lines of cocaine a minute."

Well look on the bright side if it was bad news then you don't remember so it's all good. I know how you feel I suffer from short term memory loss so sometimes I can't remember things I've done just the other day, it is rather annoying I use post it stickys to help me.

My friends compare my short term memory to that of a goldfish. 30 seconds pass and I can never remember shit!

Is there anyone who can accompany you to your appointments? In addition to that, it might be wise to invest in some kind of audio recording device so that you can review important discussions, meetings, lectures, etc as many times as necessary after they take place.

Now this would be more of a FML if you had already went to the DR & forgotten all about it & made another appt & went back again!
