This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Almost definitely right, but I've had a doctor tell me the same.
Doctors have a lot of 'go away and leave me alone' statements that are mostly meant to just get you out the door.
Not just phrases, there's a whole set of strategies.
I've lost count of the times my kids have been dismissed with a GTFO bandage and sent on their way. About half the time we've been called back the day after, when the orthopedic attendings have taken a look at what the residents screwed up over night.
I went to urgent care for testicle pain and they asked me if I was experiencing depression/anxiety. I think it's part of their standard questions, but like, still.
