I'm needy

I think all I really want is for a doctor to say "You won't die any time soon". In those exact words. Not "there's not cause for immediate alarm" or "I'm optimistic about your future" or any crap like that. I mean, really, why is it a requirement for them to be 'glass half empty' people.

I can't imagine having one of these people as a friend or even worse, married to one. Can you imagine a normal conversation?

Doctor:               "Good morning honey, did you sleep well?"
Doctor's Wife:     "Not really, I tossed and turned all night with a back ache..."
Doctor:               "Really?  Maybe you have menningitis.  Okay, off to work!  See ya tonight..."

That could get depressing after a while.
