"I'm sorry, I'm with a patient right now. Perhaps you should make an appointment."


Don't you love all these commercials for medicines or diet supplements that encourage you to "consult with your doctor" before beginning any regimen? As if doctor's visits were free. Or all you have to do is pick up the phone to have a friendly little chat with your kindly physician. Can't you just imagine trying to reach your costly doctor to ask him if he thinks you should start an aspirin-a-day routine or take the appetite supressant you saw on an infomercial that night you couldn't sleep because you didn't have any more of those pills your doctor absolutely refused to refill during your last paid visit.
