When we go to the doctor it is because we are sick or injured. So why is it when we get there, the nurse/receptionist always says, “Hi, how are you?”, often in a cheery, inquisitive tone?
In my head, I’m always thinking, “What do you mean, ‘How am I?’, I’m sick! I told you all about it when I called for the appointment!” But, rather than sound sarcastic, I usually reply with, “Well, not perfect. Otherwise, why would I be here, right?” I say it in a friendly way and usually get a chuckle.
It’s just one of those silly little things that always seems odd to me.
Have fun today.
