Do you talk about the weather with your doctor ?? Do you even open your mouth when you go in ?

No, I don't talk about the weather. I talk about my latest blood test or the pain in my knee or whatever the purpose of my visit. When she and I finish with the medical topic du jour, she's off to her next patient and I'm out the door.

The only time anything else ever came up was one day when she didn't get a lunch break, was feeling hypoglycemic, and went back to her office to grab a banana. We had a brief exchange over that. That's it.

Everyone in my wife's office asked all their doctors. I guess you are the only one on the planet who didn't

I have discussed the topic with all my 3D friends in some detail and none has mentioned discussing it with their doctors. I expect that I would know if they had.

Like I said, I can't imagine why it would matter. What would that tell you about your doctor that you needed to know? If you and your doctor didn't agree, would you change doctors?
