Honestly, I didn’t mean to start anything. I was just answering her long litany of personal questions – in an all-too public setting. Does this stuff only happen to me?
Standing in front of just one of several Plexiglas-fronted cubicles, I tried to respond as briefly and accurately as possible, as the medical scheduler seated on the other side of the transparent shield filled out the required paperwork to set up yet another exploratory test for me.
Reaching the end of her list of queries, she looked up at me and asked, “Do you have any problems?”
I paused, just for a moment. Then I replied, “Oh, honey. Where do I start?”
She gave me a blank stare.
Then she rephrased the question. “Do you have any problems related to this particular procedure?”
Maybe she should have led with that.
I grinned at her. “I bet you get that all the time,” I said.
“Nope,” she answered.
We wrapped up the details without many more words. That’s probably not a bad thing.
