My favorite is sitting there while my doctor of 5 years goes through my e-chart on her computer trying to remember who the fuck I am and what exactly is wrong with me.
At least she doesn't google anything while I'm there.
I once had a doctor Google my symptoms while we were both watching the screen. He even said “how did we even do this before Google?” Then he sent me for an unnecessary colonoscopy. He just so happens to be dead now.
The way you wrote it makes it sound like you were somehow involved in his demise. :D
If your doctor doesn’t know you by name, you should consider yourself happy. When you’re walking on the street and your doc recognizes you, I pity you.
