It depends how you define "medical problem"

PGYx: What medical problems do you have?
Mrs. Tothepoint: Well you see, I was scheduled to go to a 5000-person meditation event...


***

PGYx: Do you ask your wife to check your skin regularly for new moles?
Mr. Earnest: Well, it's not one of our official activities...

Mr. Muscles: <Dramatically> It doesn't look good, does it, doc?
PGYx: Well the tests we just did show your strength is similar on both sides in both your arms and legs.
Mr. Muscles: I'm just so weak all over. I used to be strong enough to do pushups.
PGYx: When was the last time you did that?
Mr. Mucles: Last night.
PGYx: Oh, do you think you could do some here for me now?
Mr. Muscles: <Gets down on the floor and easily does several pushups>
PGYx: Ok, that's enough, you can get up now.
PGYx: <To Attending> I'm pretty sure this is not an acute stroke.

Attending:<To elderly patient> Wow, you've really gone through a lot of shit lately.
Mr. Spin: It's an opportunity for growth.

Silly Mr. Muscles! :P
I love Mr. Spin's take on things. Gotta tape a saying like that to my wall to remember not to sweat the small stuff as much. Love these little convo snippets.
