here is the exchange i had with a patient of mine who may be lacking an edit button:
pt: have you lost weight?
me: yes, just a few pounds.
pt: i can see it in your face.
me: yes, if i lose a few pounds that seems to be the first place it shows up.
pt: well, better that than your breasts.
me (squelching the idea of one, covering my chest, or two, whacking him on the head): !
first of all, please don't mention my breasts to me. i am your doctor. second of all, in contrast to that decidedly male point of view you are proffering, a certain some of us women would be glad to lose a few pounds in our chests.
at least i have an edit button.
