When The Doctor Says...
The Doctor says: "This should be taken care of right away."
Translation: I'd planned a trip to Hawaii next month but this is so easy and profitable that I want to fix it before it cures itself.
The Doctor says: "Welllllll, what have we here..."
Translation: Since he hasn't the foggiest notion of what it is, the Doctor is hoping you will give him a clue.
The Doctor says: "We'll see."
Translation: First I have to check my malpractice insurance.
The Doctor says: "Let me check your medical history."
Translation: I want to see if you've paid your last bill before spending any additional time with you.
The Doctor says: "Why don't we make another appointment later in the week."
Translation: I need the money, so I'm charging you for another office visit.
The Doctor says: "I really can't recommend seeing a chiropractor."
Translation: I hate those guys mooching in on our fees.
The Doctor says: "Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm."
Translation: 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 a lot.)
The Doctor says: "We have some good news and some bad news."
Translation: The good news is he's going to buy that new BMW, and the bad news is you're going to pay for it.
The Doctor says: "Let's see how it develops."
Translation: Maybe in a few days it will grow into something that can be cured.
The Doctor says: "Let me schedule you for some tests."
Translation: I have a 40% interest in the lab.
The Doctor says: "I'd like to have my associate look at you."
Translation: He's going through a messy divorce and owes me a small fortune.
The Doctor says: "How are we today?"
Translation: I feel great. You, on the other hand, look like hell.
