[after verifying a patient’s name]
Patient 1: I don’t want that to be my name anymore. From now on I want to be called “Mabel”. Think anyone will go for it?
Me: I don’t know, I want my name tag to say “Disco Biscuits” but I don’t think (store manager) will do it for me.
Patient 1 laughs. Patient 2, waiting behind her, is holding in her own laughter. I finish with first patient, and second comes up, positively losing it at this point, laughing hysterically.
Patient 2: I really don’t think she knows what a disco biscuit is, do you?
Me: [low whisper] That’s what makes saying it to them so fun!
