The Semantics of Medicine for Healthy Men
I went to the Doctor last week. It was not my usual doctor, as it was a Sunday, and I had realised that I was out of one of my scripts. So, I went to a Medical Centre. The doctor was very pleasant. He took a brief history. However, he did something that is one of my pet hates. He asked questions as if they were a statement.
“You don’t have any Allergies?” “Well yes I do actually.”
“You don’t take a preventer for your asthma?” “Yes I do, I take Pulmicort”.
“You don’t have any other medical conditions?” Yes I do I have blah blah blah
