At this point I would like to take a break to tell you that I talk to myself. Don't judge. We all do it. Some more than others. I'm part of the "some."
I proceed look for the information that was requested - 10 total visits, three to go. I repeat this to myself (out loud) as I turn - getting ready to get up and go tell my boss like a civilized person instead of shouting it from the next room. As I turn I see a person standing behind me. Knowing perfectly well who it was I slowly ask with embarrassment, "You are..." "Mr. Patient." He finishes with an unreadable look on his face. How long has he been standing there? I wonder to myself as I proceed to say, "Right. You wanted to know how many visits you have. You have had seven visits including this one - three more left to go." Trying to hide how mortified I was caught talking to myself I added, "Would you like to schedule your next appointment?"
As soon as he was scheduled and left I busted out laughing. Thankfully there were no other patients in the clinic. It was lunch time.
