Do you lie to your doctor?

[Barman]

There was an old chap in the village who was a legendary boozer. He was also an accountant. He told me once that his doctor wanted to know how much he drank and that he had decided to be truthful 

Tally was:

10,00 a.m.: glass of sherry with the morning mail
1.00: Pub. Three pints followed by lunch at his club with bottle of claret
4.00: Drive home and go to pub. 5 pints
7.00: Dinner. Bottle of collapso
Followed by port and brandy

Doc said, "Mr X, I couldn't drink that much water in a day!"
His reply? "Well neither could I"
 

 

[GROWLER]

I lied to A doctor during a medical for renewing my PCV licence last year.

I was found out and had imense difficulty trying to scramble my way out of the hole I'd dug, and I'm still not out of it either.

PCV licence renewal is still sitting on my desk gathering dust, and I don't know if I will ever send it off now tbh.

"Yes M'Lud, and as you can clearly see, Mr Growler has publicly admitted the offence on an Internet Forum."



"An Internet Forum is a popular meeting place for misfits and the mentally challenged, M'Lud"

Yes, I admit wholly that I lied in the eyes of the quackter as the question that was put to me was IN MY OPINION answered sort of correctly, being the fact that I consider to be the judge of my personal well being and feelings of fitness, NOt some grossly overpaid quizmaster.

That unfortunately didn't meet the exact criteria that was actually required, as it seems personal opinions of ones own actual state of health are actually totally irrelevant.

I had to come 'clean' in the end, and admit my slight deviation from what was actually required from me, so even IF I send the form for renewal off, the DVLA will know the so called 'facts' that the quackter was thus requiring to complete my application/medical examination form are there for further investgation if so required,  probably incurring me with highly expensive annual examinations and restrictions being placed upon me.

In one sentence though, if you can't be arsed reading all that bullshit, I'm goosed.

Now THAT IS actually a fact, as I have constantly sinned ALL of my life.

Like Snoops I always answer my doctor's question honestly but I never volunteer information.

Lying about the amount you drink I consider implies that you somehow you feel that you're doing something wrong and feel guilty about it.

[Nick]

I disagree Uncle. The health Nazis have got the 21 units mantra in their heads. It was a made up figure, but if you admit to exceeding it, as many of us do, you are a marked Foggy man

[The Moan Ranger]

I had a medical when I was at my last job and I answered truthfully that at the time I was drinking about 120 units per week.

The nurse doing the medical nearly fainted

Bugger! Beat me by 5 . . . .

[GROWLER]

My lickle lie wasn't even drink related.

Anyway, I was found out and learned me lesson.
The quack was actually quite sympathetic, and did actually understand my point of view, but he insisted that he had to act proffesionally to safeguard his own reputation, so i apologised.
