  <subtitle>Warren didn't like doctors. They made him feel uncomfortable and nervous. Still, this was a necessary check-up, and the sooner he got it done with, the sooner he'd know if he was alright.

&amp;quot;Hello,&amp;quot; he said to the Receptionist. &amp;quot;My name's Warren Taylor, I have an appointment.&amp;quot;

&amp;quot;Ah yes, your details are right here,&amp;quot; she said, eyes locked on the paperwork. &amp;quot;What's the nature of your problem?&amp;quot;

&amp;quot;You, uh... you have my paperwork right there,&amp;quot; he said.

&amp;quot;That's right,&amp;quot; she smiled.

&amp;quot;So you should already know.&amp;quot;

&amp;quot;We don't keep such personal information here at reception for reasons of confidentiality.&amp;quot;

&amp;quot;So why are you asking?&amp;quot; Warren asked.

&amp;quot;It's for the doctor's benefit,&amp;quot; said the receptionist, feigning a smile.

&amp;quot;But he's going to find out shortly. I can't see any _legitimate_ reason for you to know why I'm here. Seems to me you're just being nosy.&amp;quot;

&amp;quot;Mr Taylor,&amp;quot; she said, &amp;quot;I am a trained professional.&amp;quot;

&amp;quot;Yes. A trained professional _Receptionist._ Last I heard, that training doesn't happen in Medical School.&amp;quot;</subtitle>
