What a Doctor says, what he means
"This should be taken care of right away."-----"I'd planned a
trip to Hawaii
next month but this is so easy and profitable that I want to fix it before
it
cures itself."
"Welllllll, what have we here..."-----Since he hasn't the foggiest
notion of
what it is, the Doctor is hoping you will give him a clue.
"We'll see."-----"First I have to check my malpractice
insurance."
"Let me check your medical history."-----"I want to see if
you've paid your
last bill before spending any more time with you."
"Why don't we make another appointment later in the
week."-----"I'm playing
golf this afternoon, and this a waste of time." -or- I need the money,
so I'm
charging you for another office visit."
"I really can't recommend seeing a chiropractor."-----"I hate
those guys
mooching in on our fees."
"Hmmmmmmmm."-----Since he hasn't the faintest idea of what to do,
he is trying
to appear thoughtful while hoping the nurse will interrupt. (Proctologists
also say this a lot.)
"We have some good news and some bad news."-----The good news is
he's going to
buy that new BMW, and the bad news is you're going to pay for it.
"Let's see how it develops."-----"Maybe in a few days it will
grow into
something that can be cured."
"Let me schedule you for some tests."-----"I have a 40%
interest in the lab."
"I'd like to have my associate look at you."-----"He's going
through a messy
divorce and owes me a small fortune."
"How are we today?"-----"I feel great. You, on the other
hand, look like
hell."
"I'd like to prescribe a new drug."-----"I'm writing a paper
and would like to
use you for a guinea pig."
"If it doesn't clear up in a week, give me a call."-----"I
don't know what the
hell it is. Maybe it will go away by itself."
"That's quite a nasty looking wound."-----"I think I'm going
to throw up."
"This may smart a little."-----"Last week two patients bit
through their
tongues."
"Well, we're not feeling so well today, are we?"-----"I can't
remember your
name, nor why you are here."
"This should fix you up."-----The drug salesman guaranteed that it
kills all
symptoms.
"Everything seems to be normal."-----"I guess I can't buy
that new beach condo
after all."
"I'd like to run some more tests."-----"I can't figure out
what's wrong. Maybe
the kid in the lab can solve this one."
"Do you suppose all of this stress could be affecting your
nerves?"-----He
thinks you are crazy and is hoping to find a psychiatrist who will split
fees.
"Why don't you slip out of your things."-----"I don't enjoy
this any more than
you do, but I've got to warm my fingers up somehow." -or- "I
haven't had a
good laugh all day."
"If those symptoms persist, call for an
appointment."-----"I've never heard of
anything so disgusting. Thank God I'm off next week."
"There is a lot of that going around."-----"My God, that's
the third one this
week. I'd better learn something about this."
