TGIF everybody!

What Doctors say and what they really mean

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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.

Hi, Victoria. Those are cute! Sometimes I've wondered about the ownership in the lab. :~)

How are you this evening.

I've been ranting this afternoon. Part of the time at the TV and a couple of times on the thread.

Maybe some music will pick things up around here. Have anything in mind?
