That’ll be $500
That doesn’t sound too bad (yes I’m American 😭)
This is so much wrong. Doctor will not ask the patient to go out like that! They will charge consultation fee on your way out.
America moment
Only if you have private insurance
More like only if you live in America.
This is legitimately the first response that comes to mind when I’m at a doctor’s appointment that I personally asked for.
Like, I don’t want to bother this nice lady with my problems. I’m sure she has better things to do than having to listen to me.She wants to help you! That’s the whole reason she’s there in that room with you. You deserve to take up space, and have your concerns attended to /gen /pos
Aw, thanks. It’s just my default behavior.
It takes a moment, and then I’ll remember why I’m actually there. But the impulse to not want to be a bother to anyone runs deep :)

If it’s a doctor I know well, then I open with, “not as good as she could be”. If it’s some total stranger, I go with “dunno, hoping you could tell me it’s not as bad as I think”.
Literally the dumbest thing I hear MDs say when I’m legit there for a reason. Like c’mon now.
I usually go with
“Aha! That’s a trick question!”
And tap the side of my head. Like the meme guy.
