I mean, I don't particularly want you to know..I'd rather tell the doctor if that's alright. One time I rang for an appointment (it was a woman's thing I was a bit embarrassed about) and she starts: "What's the problem?" Me: "Well I'd prefer to tell the doctor, if that's alright." Her: "Well I need to know if it's a priority as we're quite full with appointments already." Me:"Well it's not an emergency. I mean, if it was I'd have gone to A&E, but if you can fit me in, I'll see the doctor and tell him." Her: "Sigh. Fine, ok."

I reckon Mrs O'Reilly doesn't want half the area knowing her smear was abnormal or the fact that the chiropodist couldnt get the ENTIRE root of of Mr Byrne's big toenail as it was in tatters so he'll need another appointment. I have been asked over the phone "what's the appointment for?" to which I reply "That's between me and the Doc thanks very much"
