Up on your toes

Last night, while I was working on an admission, an old attending Dr. B passed by. He said, " Hi, Winnie, I haven't seen you for a few months." I spotted him in his new glasses and replied, " Oh Dr. B, you got new glasses? They look nice !" He said," Good to see you up on your toes!" ( spotted things quickly as supposed to fumbling through work last year) Then I said in a frank and casual tone, " Well, I probably won't be able to pick up any physical findings, but for new bags, new shoes, and new glasses, I can pick'em out anytime!" Dr. B couldn't stop laughing at what I said. Even the nurses sitting around giggle too!
