me: And would you like anyone listed in your chart for emergency contact?
pt: Well am I going to die?
me: It's just a requirement for us to ask. You don't have to put anyone if you don't want to.
pt: Well the last girl didn't ask me that question. So why are you?
me: Like I said, it's not a requirement. I'll just put "refused" and you can update it later if you choose to.

pt: As of 2 seconds ago!
me: I'm sorry?
pt: Jeez, first you scare me by telling me I'm going to die, now you are wasting my time. Can we be done here?
