Today, I went for my follow-up appointment with my surgeon. He walked into the room and said, "I thought you died." FML
Missusluv313 tells us more.
Hello everyone! Yes, he was joking. I just didn't find that shit funny. And he actually is a good doctor. But to make up for it, he gave me extra time off from work. I don't think he would do that to/for everybody, but I work at that hospital.

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It's called a joke. Sometimes doctors make them.

Now that's a great bedside manner! FYL, ut hopefully that was just a joke due to more serious issues you have recovered from.

Better than your psychologist walking out of the room saying, "I wish you'd just die." . . .

The poor doctor had been mourning your death and felt like a complete failure for letting you die. I guess the doctor had a good day.

Calm down everyone. I make jokes like this with my patients all the time, especially the ones who were close to death. I typically say something like "You look pretty good for someone who should be dead!" I think patients are even more appreciative when they know how close they were to dying. It puts some perspective on things.

My dad's a Pediatrician and when kids come to his office (or us in the house), with legs or arms pain, sometimes he would say, as a joke, "if we cut it, it will not bother you anymore". Usually kids find it funny and feel at ease to talk to him. If not, he will simply explain it is a joke and then the feel at ease, too.
