It's my habit to browse through patients' files to get a rough idea of their background, illness and latest blood tests or imaging studies, before calling them in to the consultation room. This is my encounter with a patient whom I saw for the first time:
Patient: (entering the consultation room) Good morning, doctor...
Doctor: Good morning, teacher...(smile)
Patient: (shocked & turned pale) How do you know I'm a teacher?
Doctor: It's stated in your file..
Patient: (so relieved) Ohh...I thought I have the "teacher look"
Doctor: (LOL)
