Me: "Doctor, can I have 6 more months of the contraceptive pill please" Doc: "Hmm, you smell of ciggerette smoke, do you smoke" (I have been seeing this doctor for over 7 years. She has my notes up on her screen.) Me: "yes, around 10 - 15 a day" Doc: "Has anyone ever told you of the dangers of smoking and being on the pill" Me: "Yeah.. but, I'm really having problems stopping. I tried the patches but..." Doctor turns away from, removes prescription for pill from printer, hands it to me and starts writing, with a hand signal towards the door.
