I must be one of a very few that don't have a lot of time for doctors, I'm pretty sure they could be replaced by computer diagnostics , just tick a 'symptoms' box and possibly 90% of of our problems could be solved, no need for polite 'chit chat' !
If the computer should diagnose 'Emergency' then you call an ambulance, the doctor would only do the the same !
I am not a believer that doctors have some sort of mystic powers , they are just like you and I, except they make more money than us!!

That is a very good question. I have always wonder that myself. I guess that it is just socially accepted to ask someone how they are doing. Just a polite thing. But truly it is a silly question when they know you are there for an illness or injury. You're right...I though they were college educated as well.

It's just polite. We're not stupid you know! But we like to try to make the patient feel comfortable when they first come into the room. Going straight in there with "so what's the problem" seems a bit brisk if you ask me. We're just trying to be nice!

Because we are attempting to find out how "bad" you are doing...how miserable or nauseous or feverous you may be. It is also a comfortable ice-breaker between clinician and patient. It isn't that they don't care, quite the opposite...they really do (at least we do.)

Yes, my doctor asks me that every time I visit him like its some kind of joke. I just look at him and smile with a retarded grin and tell him, "You know doc, I've been better". Then he hands me the bill and I want to strangle him with his stethoscope.
LOL

It is only a way starting talk and making you feel easy to answer further questions

If you are not well, this is your opportunity to tell the doctor about it so you can get help.
