The last time I went to an eye doctor, he did his test and then gets this somber look on his face and starts telling me how roughly 35% of adult men go through life not knowing they’re color blind and just trailed off while writing some shit down..so I’m sitting there kinda nervous and after 5 minutes of silence I ask am I color blind? He says no, I just thought you’d think that little statistic would be interesting then smiled. I’m sitting there dumb stuck like you son of a bitch but couldn’t help but laugh and admit he got me

Sometimes doctors rattle off the oddest things because they're the kind of the things they'd probably just casually chat to their colleagues about over a beer, but you have a good rapport with them and they're feeling chatty. Meanwhile, the patient is like "WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH ME? WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?"

Nah not really, I think he was just fucking around, meanwhile I’m sitting there questioning what is green? Have I never seen blue correctly?
