Nervous or Jumpy
Published Dec 01, 2003
Jill went to see her family doctor about her husband John. "For the first twenty years, he was fine Doc, not nervous or jumpy at all. Then for the next 10 years, he's been irritable, jumpy and fidgety. And now the last 5 years, he's been awful jumpy and nervous. He can't sit still in the same room with me for even 5 minutes. I don't know what to do for him. Can you help?"
"What your husband needs is a little rest, Jill. Here is a sleeping pill."
"Oh, Thank you Doctor. A million thanks to you. And when do I give him the medicine?"
"Not HIM, Jill, YOU take it."
