I've used private doctors twice over the past 10 years, most recently last week - and on both occasions the doctor has sent a letter to my GP starting with "this delightful 34 year old" and "this pleasant 44 year old". It has always struck me as an odd way for a doctor to describe a patient but a friend told me it's kind of a code between doctors just informing them that the patient isn't a pain in the derriere or.... ? Does that make sense? Anyone know if this is true?
Just curious.
