Last month, I went to see my primary care physician to discuss results from some medical tests. Although I had a follow-up appointment in the next three weeks, I didn't want to wait any longer for the results ,. I have been his patient for well over 19 years, during which he has always been pleasant, with an excellent bedside manner. This time was different. He was uncharacteristically abrupt, rude and obviously annoyed. I couldn't figure, for the life of me, what it was that I done to earn his ire. When I discussed this with my wife, she pointed out what she thought was totally obvious. I had worn my USA Carry t-shirt. Believe me, it never entered my mind when I pulled it out of the drawer that morning. At my wife's request, I returned for the follow-up appointment wearing a "neutral" shirt - gray with no symbols, writing or pictures on it. He was back to his old self; happy, calm and with a pleasant smile to match his mood. So, of course my wife believes this proves her point and went out to buy me some new shirts!
