Whiter Shade of Pale

   "We'd like to know a little bit about you for our files," says the hospital pharmacist.  Well, maybe not exactly in those words, but "In addition to your other meds, tell me what you take for anxiety.  What?  Nothing? Really?  Why not?"    I reply that when I worry, I want it perfectly clear what I'm worrying about.  I don't want  all that energy to be dissipated into a blur.  She seems to understand, but when I segue into the next interview, the questioner with my chart says, "I see you suffer from anxiety."  I can't imagine where that came from.
