Foreword: I generally like my doctors.

Sometimes I wonder if my doctor has a string in his back and someone gives it a pull every time he’s supposed to speak…

“Good morning doctor.”

“You’re looking good today.”

“Yeah, but I can’t shake these fevers.”

“Your blood cultures have been negative.”

“Well this rash is killing me.”

“You’re on a lot of medication.”

“Is there any chance I’ll be going home soon?”

“You’re looking good today.”

“Is there anything else we can check, or anything else we can do?”

“Your blood cultures have been negative.”

“Do you know that you’re starting to drive me crazy?”

“You’re on a lot of medication.”
