Things You Never Want Your Doctor to Say

1. “Oopsie!”
2. “Ha! Chart’s upside-down!”
3. “Huh. Colonoscope’s stuck again. Third time this week! Don’t worry; I’ll have it loose in an hour or two.”
4. “Hmm…never seen this before…”
5. “Oh, shit. Uh, just wait here a bit…”
6. “Oh, THIS will get me published!”
7. “Why don’t my rich patients ever get this?”
8. “I graduated in the top 2/3 of my class from the second best online medical school in Bolivia.”
9. “Just out of curiosity, you HAVE signed up to be an organ donor, right?”
10. Oh, that’s interesting…
11. “I’m sorry, what’d you say? I wasn’t listening, I’m going through a really messy divorce, IRS is auditing me, being sued for sexual harassment by one former nurse and for malpractice by a former patient, I am really wanting to drink again… oh well, enough of my problems, let’s cut you open.”
12. “You’re in good shape for a seventy year old…oh, you’re only forty.”
