Normally the doctor goes over my test results with me. This time he went over them in the room next door to me with his gaggle of students, then came in and wanted to just shoot the breeze with me. I asked questions that made him go over the results. After all I had gone through to get those tests done before seeing him, I wanted to see for myself what the results were, not just take his word for it.
