10 Things You Hate to Hear When You Walk Into an Exam Room
September 18, 2007
- "I hope you are better than the last 4 doctors I’ve seen."
- "Could you start my 2-Year old on ADHD medicine? He won’t do anything I say."
- "She made me come." (Pointing to his wife)
- Any sentence ending in the word "discharge."
- "Do you have any air freshener?"
- "I wanted an antibiotic, but your staff said I had to come in."
- "Waaaaaahhhhhhhh" - the child screams and turns, clinging tightly to their mother as they look back at you with terror in their eyes.
- Message on the chart: "Note: Mother wants to talk to you without child in the room before you come in."
- "I brought in a sample of my _______ to let you see what it looks like."
- "It’s good to meet you. My daughter says you are wonderful and can fix all of my problems."

“I wanted you to see what she’s like, so I didn’t give her any Tylenol, or let her take her nap.”

“We were having sex, and he was wearing a condom when we started, but…. ”
By the way, nice new template.

Worse than #3 is “My wife made me come.” (and she’s not there)

Ha! Great list! I think #8 is the one I dread the most.
How about “Whenever Billy comes home from his dad’s house he exhibits (insert mildly abnormal but probably age appropriate behavior here) - do you think he’s being abused?”
Like the new layout. Perty.

Or the combo of “I brought in this sample of discharge for you to see. Is it my mucous plug? Am I going to have my baby now?”
