Social Question
What completely inane opinion or recommendation have you heard from a doctor or other professional?

I don’t make it a habit to bash medical or legal professionals, who are, after all, just human and subject to stresses like the rest of us.
But sometimes I think they’re just reciting boilerplate and may not even listen to themselves. I know they carry a lot—but that is the life they chose. They hold a bigger place in my life than I do in theirs, and their words matter.
My nominee, after I described a distressing symptom: “Let’s wait and see if it happens again, and if it doesn’t, it was just a one-time thing.”
Thanks, doc.
