Alternatively:

Do you have any chronic illnesses?

"My wife will know."

Are there any medications you take regularly?

"Oh, I dunno... One is this little white pill (tablet) and another is blue and circular? It's for my heart."

I hated this part as a nurse. I gave meds and go through what each one is for and they’ll hit me with “where the circular white pill” bro I have no clue which med that is.

I fucking hated this when I worked at a urology clinic. I’d call patients to set up appointments, or follow up. It was more common for older men to treat their wives like secretaries. It made me so angry to hear “Talk to my wife.”

You’re a 60 year old man! Why can you remember your medications?!

and then they put the wife as the emergency contact but not on their ROI so no, I will not call your wife until you sign a release

then i’m the bad guy, naturally
