My wife and I were waiting for our number to be called at the doctor’s office when the receptionist yelled “88! Do we have an 88?” My wife said “I’m 89″ and an old lady across from her said “well, you sure don’t look it!” IMMD.

Does your doctor run a deli on the side? The people at my doctor’s office use my name, and they don’t shout it at me.
“Secret patient man!
Secret patient man!
They’ve given you a number
and taken away your name!”
Your deli comment has delicious implications. Anyway, they started using numbers because they were sick of people crowding the desk and asking how much longer until it was their turn. Now people know exactly when their turn is coming up. Besides, a good scare every now and then is healthy.

Some doctor’s offices use numbers for privacy.
That’s a bit overzealous. What harm would come to me if one of the other patients found out that a person named Hope saw the doctor on Tuesday? I think I’ll start wearing a mask to my appointments so no one can identify me by sight, either.
What kind of doctor calls out numbers? That seems awfully impersonal.
You know what I just thought of, though? STD clinic.
A doctor at a military hospital.
You must have married a much older woman for her money! I don’t know any 89 year olds on this website. Pics or it didn’t happen
Some say she’s robbing the cradle, I say I’m robbing the grave. :p
You know, seeing that you and your wife are together since cat knows when made my day. Long marriages still exist!
