I injured my hand at some point while I was away and I was having it checked out earlier by a doctor I’d not met before. Fat Sister came with me. The doctor was very friendly and unfazed by Tourettes. He took my medical history and asked me some questions and then he said: “I assume you don’t work.” Fat Sister gasped. I replied “Actually I do, full time and with children.” He apologised immediately for being rude and making assumptions. I appreciated how he instantly recognised his mistake and that he was honest about it.
My hand was fine and the x-ray showed that I’d not broken any bones.
