I’m a pathologist now but in my ER days the thing that would annoy me the most were the people coming to the ER complaining about back pain they’ve had for years. Sometimes they would show up at 3 AM. When I’d ask them what there was about the pain that prompted them to come in now they’d say “It hurts”. Not that it hurt any worse, just that it hurts.

Good move. Your patients give you no lip now...quite cooperative!
