I love it when the patients say "When is the doctor going to see me?"
I always want to reply, "When you're done answering my questions."
But unfortunately, what I really say is, "Soon Sir/Ma'am. The doctor is slightly preoccupied at the moment and I'll be taking some of the preliminary information from you to expedite your visit. I apologize about the wait."
My soul dies a little bit every time this happens. Approximately 54 weeks from now, I'll have the MD behind my name and I'll be able to forever evade these questions, and even champion the med students who get this treatment.
