Have you ever lied to your doctor?

[bera]

how it feels ....

have your doctor cought you red handed

[squarebear]

No I have never lied to my doctor. What would be the point in that? The doctor can only help best if you are honest with him.

[MiniN]

ooooh bera, what did you lie about?

[Ice.Maiden]

Lie? Course not. How can he/she treat you if you make something up?

What would be the point in lying to a doctor?

If you wanted some time off work, &/or needed a medical certificate to cover you, I'm sure they'd be able to tell if you're pulling a fast one or not.

Although, I have to say, there are lots of people out there skiving off, who are really fit enough to work! If that's what you mean?

[Bewlay Bros]

Yes, I have done to be honest.

However this was a return to work check up when I was still actually in considerable pain, I lied and said I was OK.

I remember when I was at work.......

One or two members of staff used to come back after a few days off sick & used to stand in my office giving me a sob story of how 'ill' they'd been. The fact that I could still see paint in their hair &/or on their nails was a dead give away!

I was always sympathetic at the time, but after a few days of them settling back into work, used to casually ask them how the decorating was going. They'd soon realise & the blushing cheeks were magic! Bless 'em!

Ah, well that sort of lie is okay Wardy, as long as you don't peg out on the job! ;o}
