- "We'll see." "First I have to check my malpractice insurance."

- "I really can't recommend seeing a chiropractor." "I hate those guys mooching in on our fees."
- "Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm." Since he hasn't the faintest idea of what to do, he is trying to appear thoughtful while hoping the nurse will interrupt. (Proctologist also say this alot.)

- "Everything seems to be normal." "I guess I can't buy that new beach condo after all."
- "I'd like to run some more tests." "I can't figure out what's wrong. Maybe the kid in the lab can solve this one."
