Patient: Can I have your home number? I promise not to call you all the time. Only in case of an emergency.
Doctor: Um, I don't give out my home number. If you are having an emergency, you need to go to the emergency room.
Patient: But they don't know my medical history!
Doctor: But I live two hours from you. You'll receive medical care quicker by simply going to the emergency room. Besides, all your medical history can be pulled up on their computer.
Patient: So....you're not going to give me your number?
