The following is a transcript of an actual conversation I had with my new (female) doctor this morning.
Doctor: What brings you to my office today?
Emma: I regularly have serious trouble falling asleep.
Doctor: Do you live together with someone? Maybe your boyfriend snores and that's what is keeping you awake.
Emma: I sleep alone.
Doctor: I see. Well, maybe that's what keeping you awake.
Emma: I doubt it.
Doctor: So what would you like me to do for you?
Emma: I'd like a prescription for sleeping pills.
(Doctor writes prescription)
Emma: Thank you.
(Emma takes prescription, leaves office)
