I was consulting with a Nurse Practitioner. I had been sent to her for severe abdominal pain. We were on our second appointment, a follow-up.

She'd entered the room at a fast pace.

NP: I've made a phone call to your primary care, Dr. ______.
I'd asked him if you were a "quack patient?"
You'll be so very happy he'd said "no, she's very reliable!"

Me: Oh! Wow! That's great!
Now, tell me, just exactly who do I call to find out if you are a "quack
nurse practitioner?"

Don't you dare bill me for this appt.!
*I then walked out.*
