Things To Never Say At Your Doctor's Office

Now that I am in my new job, I am learning a lot of things not to say at your doctors office. Just in case you are ever in the following situations... just know that we will go in the back and talk about you if you say the following:
1. When you ask where the restroom is and we direct you to the facility, never say "Well, is there one in the back, I need to doo doo." This actually happened today and thanks to this gentleman, we are all nauseous!
2. When we ask you if this is a yearly mammogram, never say "Yes, this is my yearly tit smash." Very funny, but before we call you back, every employee will know about it.
3. Never go back for a HIDA Scan (checks to see the functioning of the gallbladder, it's also a 2 hour test) and get back there only for us not to find your gallbladder then you proceed to tell us that you had it out years ago. Thanks! I guess your gallbladder wouldn't be functioning very well then would it? Which leads to number 4.
4. ALWAYS TELL YOUR DOCTOR PREVIOUS MEDICAL HISTORY. It saves us a lot of time.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We would just like to save you some embarrassment!
