Just had to share this. I went to a new doc last week. After examining me and setting up a time for a physical, she closed the exam with this:

"You don't look like a sick person."

LMAO!!!

If we had a dime for everytime someone said this we would be soooo rich.I loved it when I would be bawling my eyes out and the doctor would say well you look good and all your tests are good.

Run,do not walk away from that doc.It reminds me of the clueless people looking at the deceased at the funeral home, and commenting "he looks so good,doesn't he".

When someone says that to me I say "well you don't look insensitive"

That's funny! I may not look like a sick person to anyone else, but when I look in the mirror, I see a sick person. I see the pain in my face, my attitude, my posture, my eyes, my voice - everywhere!

LO-REAL-L!!!

That is too funny! Yeah, I'd be looking for a new doc. It kills me that people think just because you can't see something that it's not there?
The nerve!
