Bedside Manner

I had my regular checkup today.

In the middle of the exam, my doctor did a peripheral vision check. That is where you hold your eyes straight ahead and the doctor holds one hand over your head and wiggles his fingers and you say you see them. Then he takes his hand down below you and wiggles his fingers.

Then to the right and then to the left.

I said, “Look, doctor, I hate to criticize your bedside manner, but it makes me a little nervous when my doctor checks me over and then steps back and makes the sign of the cross.”
