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.
Welllllll, what have we 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 any more time with you.
Why don't we make another appointment later in the week: I'm
playing golf this afternoon, and this 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 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 those symptoms persist, call for an appointment: I've never
heard of anything so disgusting. Thank God I'm off next week.
