"Well, what do we have here...?"
What he is thinking ...
I certainly am perplexed and was hoping you might give me a clue.
"Well, we're not feeling so well today, are we...?"
What he is thinking ...I'm stalling for
time.
"If it doesn't clear up in a week, give me a call."
What he is thinking ...I don't know what it
is. Maybe it will go away by itself.
"Let me check your medical history."
What he is thinking ...I want to see if you've paid your
last bill before spending anymore time with you.
"Well, now, we have some good news and some bad news."
What he is thinking ...The good news is,
I'm going to buy that new BMW. The bad news is, you're going to pay for it.
"This should be taken care of right away."
What he is thinking ...I'd planned a trip to Hawaii
next month but this is so easy and profitable that I want to fix it before
it cures itself.
"Let me schedule you for some lab tests."
What he is thinking ...I have a forty percent interest
in the lab.
"Let's see how it develops."
What he is thinking ...Maybe in a few days it will grow into something that really needs to be cured.
"I'd like to prescribe a new drug."
What he is thinking ...I'm writing a paper and would like to use you for a guinea pig.
"That's quite a nasty looking wound."
What he is thinking ...I think I'm going to throw up.
"This may smart a little."
What he is thinking ...Last week two patients almost bit off their tongues.
"This should fix you up."
What he is thinking ...The drug company slipped me some big bucks to prescribe this stuff. Not 100% sure but I hope it works...
"Everything seems to be normal."
What he is thinking ... Rats! I guess I can't buy that new beach condo after all.
"I'd like to run some more tests."
What he is thinking ...I can't figure out what's wrong. Maybe the kid in the lab can solve this one.
