Things I will never understand - Doctor's edition

Expecto_Patronum

So I went to the doctor's today. I've had some stomach issues. Continually through the appointment the Doctor kept asking me if there was something I specifically expected from the appointment or if there was something I specifically thought it was. I found this very confusing. I'd gone to the doctor because I don't know what is causing the issue and obviously I'd like not to have stomach pain.

Anyone else find this very confusing?

  • Your post has reminded me of some of the appointments I've had with GPs over the course of my adult life. There have been occasions when I've been fairly sure of the cause, based on the symptoms. It doesn't inspire confidence to have a GP asking, "So, what would you like me to do about it?"

    I find myself thinking, "You're the medical professional, so you tell me!"
