Sentence doctors hate to hear - chest pain

“Oh, by the way Doctor, I’ve been having some chest pain.”
=====
This is always said as the patient is halfway out the door at the end of the appointment.
(As an aside, I’ve noticed that the patients coming in explicitly for chest pain rarely have a cardiac condition; it’s the patients that that are reluctant to admit they have chest pain who have the bad hearts.)
