If I went to the Dr thinking something bad was going on and found out it was better than I thought I would be happy. Then again I think surgery is a last resort for many thing and medicine as well. As long as thats something I can control.
I had a mother who was furious when I told her that her daughter had a cold and started ranting about whether I thought she would have come in for just a cold. I then asked her, "well, do you want her to have a serious illness?" She admitted she did not, and I told her "be glad she only has a cold." That discussion has recurred many times with others, but it still boggles my mind!
