"This should be taken care of right away."
– 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.
 
"Wellll, what do we have here…?"
– He has no idea and is hoping you’ll give him a clue.
 
"Let me check your medical history."
– I want to see if you’ve paid your last bill before spending anymore time with you.
 
"Why don’t we make another appointment later in the week."
– I’m playing golf this afternoon, and this is a waste of time.  – or-
– I need the bucks, so I’m charging you for another office visit.
 
"We have some good news and some bad news."
– The good news is, I’m going to buy that new BMW. The bad news is, you’re going to pay for it.
 
"Let’s see how it develops."
– Maybe in a few days it will grow into something that can be cured.
 
"Let me schedule you for some tests."
– I have a forty percent interest in the lab.
 
"I’d like to have my associate look at you."
– He’s going through a messy divorce and owes me a bundle.
 
"I’d like to prescribe a new drug."
– I’m writing a paper and would like to use you for a guinea pig.
 
"If it doesn’t clear up in a week, give me a call."
– I don’t know what it is. Maybe it will go away by itself.
 
"That’s quite a nasty looking wound."
– I think I’m going to throw up.
 
"This may smart a little."
– Last week two patients bit off their tongues.
 
"Well, we’re not feeling so well today, are we…?"
– I’m stalling for time. Who are you and why are you here?
 
"This should fix you up."
– The drug company slipped me some big bucks to prescribe this stuff.
 
"Everything seems to be normal."
– Rats! I guess I can’t buy that new beach condo after all.
 
"I’d like to run some more tests."
– I can’t figure out what’s wrong. Maybe the kid in the lab can solve this one.
 
"Do you suppose all this stress could be affecting your nerves?"
– You’re crazier’n an outhouse rat. Now, if I can only find a shrink who’ll split the fees with me…
 
"There is a lot of that going around."
– My God, that’s the third one this week. I’d better learn something about this.
 
"If the symptoms persist, call for an appointment."
– I’ve never heard of anything so disgusting. Thank God I’m off next week.
