Man: Doc I keep straining my back
Doctor: let me take a look.
Doctor: Just going off the exam it looks like you are at that age where your body isn't going to work like it used to. But stretching it daily should help

Woman: Doc I keep straining my back
Doctor: Yea it's cause you're overweight
Woman: Really? My weight?
Doctor: Yea you need to lose like 40 plus pounds
Woman: ok, is there anything else I could do while I lose the weight ?
Doctor: Not really, just work out more and eat less.
Woman: Aren't you going to do an exam
Doctor: No need

Favorite part of seeing a new doctor: when they ask about birth control
Doctor: Sexually active?
Me: I'm over 35 and have a toddler, so we'll say yes but it's really more of an aspirational thing.
D: Hormonal birth control?
M: No.
D: Are you trying to get pregnant?
M: Ha, no, once was more than enough.
D: Barrier method?
M: Just the aforementioned toddler, so no.
D: If you don't want to get pregnant, you really should be using some form of birth control.
M: Oh, I am. I find that the absence of fallopian tubes is extremely effective.
D: o___o checks my record Oh. Right.
M: >:-}
