Annie's desk

Annie: "Dr. Grumpy's office, this is Annie."

Mr. Gardner: "Yeah, I saw Dr. Grumpy last week for my arm problems."

Annie: "What's up?"

Mr. Gardner: "My accountant is out of town. Does Dr. Grumpy recommend cash value or term life insurance policies?"

Buy term and invest the rest.

i know some docs are getting into related business opportunities (like the opthalmologists who want to correct your vision AND fix those little wrinkles) but a neurologist selling life insurance might be a conflict of interest that even a really forked-tongue lawyer would have a hard time justifying!
any clue as to your choice of pseudonym for this patient?

I had a reason when I wrote the post, but honestly don't remember it now. Usually there's a significant time lag for privacy reasons.

@clairesmum: I resent that term "forked toungued lawyer"

You have know idea how hard it is to make up plausible stories to explain the inexplicable things clients do.

Note to self, Accountant is out of town, try Neurologist and if he is of no assistance, try Insurance Agent as a last resort.
