Funny you would say that...I just had a physical a couple of weeks ago, and when my wife was going through the visit notes they sent us, it said had admitted to several drinks a week. I distinctly remember saying it was one or two a month...if that!
So my doctor was saying I drank four times as much as I admit to!
I don’t miss drinking much, but...I do miss drinking with friends!
I noticed the same thing. I told my new doctor, a couple of glasses of wine a month, occasional shot of scotch.
This turned into 4 - 7 glasses of wine per WEEK, several shots of scotch per month.
I’ll see her next week and will correct her bad misimpression.
Being a physician does not mean that these people necessarily thing logically.
I once had a physician tell me that a problem I was experiencing that I had explained had started as a child was due to an event that didnt happen until I was an adult.
Sometimes they seem to get confused about who they are talking to or just make things up out of the blue.
On another occasion I had a physician tell met that the problem I was experiencing was likely related to the extensive number of combat tours I did in Vietnam.
I dont remember doing a number of combat tours in Vietnam.
I dont remember even one.
The way I remember my time in the service is that I was banned from travel to Vietnam.
Im pretty sure Im not even old enough to have served in Vietnam.
Then again, what would I know? I dont have a medical degree.
