Ha, @Eastmum that reminds me of the first conversation I had with my very young GP when my path results came back in 2006. I'd already seen the surgeon and reviewed the grim news.
I've zombie walked into his office to met with 'Well, you are all clear, you can relax now.' I've done a classic double take and said 'No, it's cancer.' Cue patronizing reply, 'No, it's not.' This goes back and forward at increasing volume until I'm snarling 'Read the fucking report.'
More eyerolling and paper shuffling then dead silence (apart from me panting in the background) Then, 'Oh. Sorry.'
Bizarrely I felt like I had won some sort of competition. Not so bizarrely the relationship soured somewhat after that.
I still wonder if he'd mixed me up with someone else. I hope that if he had, mine was the first appointment so he didn't have to call someone back and tell them they didn't really have cancer, that it was all a misunderstanding.
