The Interpreters Guide to Doctorspeak

What your doctor says:

I'd like to run a few tests

What your doctor means:

I have absolutely no idea what's wrong with you.

I'd like you to see a specialist means That get's you out of my hair

Bend over means Bend over - somethings are bad enough without deeper meaning

Please make a follow-up appointment means Don't bother me now I'm busy!

The nurse will take over from here means I'm late for my tee-off time

I have good news and bad news means I have bad news!

You'll feel some slight discomfort means This is gonna hurt like hell

Hmmmm That's intersting means What the heck is THAT thing?

Any history of medical problems in your family means Can I blame genetics in case I screw up?

This is a highly treatable disease means How much insurance are you carrying?
