I always say that you can laugh with patients but you should never laugh at them. Recently I broke this rule and pulled a patient's leg gently, but I came off worse in the subsequent exchange. Which serves me right!
It was a woman I don't know well as she usually sees one of my partners, but I did know that my partner finds her a bit gloomy and hypochondriacal. She opened the batting by asking me if I was well. I replied "yes", to which she retorted "you don't need to see a doctor, then!" Knowing her reputation I couldn't resist saying "no, which is just as well since I don't know any good ones". Quick as a flash she nodded her agreement, saying "there aren't many".
Touché!

Haha, witty woman! I think it was a funny exchange!
I also sometimes tell patients I wouldn't know any good doctors to see if I neened to see one. Nobosy has called me on iit like this woman did!
oops....nobody's called me on it!
That'll teach you for fishing for compliments from strange women!
I remember saying to a previous GP that I thought it must be about time for the Vet as yet another ailment hit me.
He looked me and said "mm, I don't know of any vet who would take you.
Pause.
Of course it would have to be a large animal Vet."
Priceless.
Hi
This sounds like one of Eric Berne's classic 'Games that People Play' although I can't think of its name.
Touche!

I'm glad we have the same jokes in the USA and UK. :-)
Thanks for the reminder that I must read Eric Berne again. Games are long-term patterns of maladaptive behaviour and they can certainly occur in the GP's surgery.
