Too funny--comments from patient

dani_girl08 · May 2010

I have this 86 year old patient who is a bit of a grumpy man. He complains through his entire cleanings, & always tells me that I missed a spot, & asks me to go back & re-clean at least one area. Yet, he insists on seeing me and only me. He calls before every appointment to make sure that I am here.

Today, he asked me, "How long have you been married now?" I told him that it had been about 2 years. He said, "Well, I hope you're not thinking about having kids yet." I told him that I was having a baby in July. He said, "Oh no! You outta horse whip your husband. Why would you go and ruin a good thing like that? Couldn't you have waited 5 years?" I told him that we were very excited. He said later in the appointment, "Well, you seem like a halfway intelligent individual (uhm, thanks??). Hopefully your husband is too. I'm sure it will all be alright." When he was leaving, I told him that I would be back from maternity leave for his next appointment in November. He said, "Oh! You're coming back? I thought I was going to lose you. I take back that horse whipping then." Too funny. Nice to know how he really felt about it. lol
