    Almost definitely right, but I’ve had a doctor tell me the same.

    Doctors have a lot of ‘go away and leave me alone’ statements that are mostly meant to just get you out the door.

      Not just phrases, there’s a whole set of strategies.

      I’ve lost count of the times my kids have been dismissed with a GTFO bandage and sent on their way. About half the time we’ve been called back the day after, when the orthopedic attendings have taken a look at what the residents screwed up over night.

        I went to urgent care for testicle pain and they asked me if I was experiencing depression/anxiety. I think it’s part of their standard questions, but like, still.
