What doctors DON’T want to hear

We all know that men are reluctant to go to the doctor…even when something’s really wrong!

So it’s probably not a surprise that when a doctor hears “My wife made me come in” it raises ALL sorts of red flags, according to the Daily Mail.

When an ER doctor in Jacksonville, Florida hears it, he assumes something VERY serious is going on with the man’s health “until proven otherwise.”

Other doctors replied to his now-viral post with one they hear from women a lot (especially elderly patients)…”I didn’t want to waste your time with this, BUT…”

Please…waste their time…it could save your life!
