I’m surprised he can keep track of which doctor is witch.
Similarly, this reminds me of a guy I worked with who complained he was just fired — but it was okay — he had been fired from 19 jobs in the last five years, and this had been the worst job yet!
Hmmmm……Wonder how many doctors he went to in previous years, since it was 39 this year. However, nobody gets out of here alive! Even the healthy ones are going to die someday. Best not to go to a doctor because it’s their job to find something wrong with you. He should be happy that all the doctors diagnosed him as healthy.
My mother was a hypochondriac. Her doctor finally got fed up with her and told her to “get a job” and “stop feeling sorry for yourself.” The best part, it worked! :D. (She’d been a stay-at-home mom for way too long, and needed to get out of the house and see other people.). Unfortunately, when she retired, it started up again. :P
Dreaded words you never want to hear from a new patient: “Doctor, I heard a lot of good things about you. I’m sure I’ll finally find out what’s wrong with me.”
He’s overlooking that all those doctors have agreed on one important point: there really is something wrong with him (but I guess he’s not happy that it’s a mental issue, not a physical one).
And yet the Medical Mysteries column is full of people whose doctors claimed their was nothing wrong, but the patients persisted and eventually a real problem was found.
And what were you last year? What will you be next year? Basic grammar, people!! The caption should read: “You’re the 39th doctor this year to tell me I’m a hypochondriac.” See the difference? And yes, I’m a Chief Inspector in the Grammar Police, in case you were wondering.

2 would be proof enough for some. Nothing like an overachiever trying for the gold.

Give him a placebo called Notsicatol and tell him it takes a few weeks to start working.
