Patient: Please sign this form so I can continue seeing my psychiatrist, who I like and who is treating me successfully. It just says you’ve evaluated me and think I’m a good candidate for a psych referral.

Doctor: I don’t know anything about psychiatry.

Patient: Right, you’re not supposed to, that’s why you’re referring me to a psychiatrist.

Doctor: I don’t even know which psychiatrists are good to refer people to.

Patient: I suggest the one I’m already seeing, who was doing a great job until the government demanded I get your signature to keep seeing them.

Doctor: Okay, fine, that will be $200 please.
