Dr. Grumpy: "Hi, I'm Dr. Grumpy. Have a seat. Now..."
Mr. Ross: "Hello. Are you happy and well today?"
Dr. Grumpy: "As much as I'll ever be. So what can I do for you?"
Mr. Ross: "You mean you're not happy and well today?"
Dr. Grumpy: "I'm fine, thank you. What brings you in to see me?"
Mr. Ross: "Perhaps I can help. Here's a free copy of my self-help book, called 'Are You Happy and Well Today?' "
Dr. Grumpy: "Uh, thank you, but back to..."
Mr. Ross: "I've self-published it, and it's available on Amazon. You can get a discount for bulk orders if you want to give out copies to your patients, or put them out in the lobby. It's also available on Kindle and as an audiobook, read by me."
Dr. Grumpy: "Thanks, but let's get back to your appointment. What..."
Mr. Ross: "You don't seem very happy today."

Read the book ,that will change
Transference, counter-transference or counter-counter-transference??
If you have an iPhone with the Books app, next week you'll be getting a copy of my new self-help book, "Have You Found What You're Looking For?", whether you want it or not.
Oh geez. If Mr. Ross was happy and well why did he make an appointment to see you? If it was solely to push his book, then enjoy taking his co-pay.
I WAS happy and well, now you're trying to sell me books and that's no longer the case. You're here to see me, so while you may be happy, I'm guessing you're not fully well, either, so either re-read your own book or tell me your problems so you can go away.
Hey, the Gideons also started small.
"Anyway, I'm here because of back pain. I think I pinched a nerve from carrying this duffel bag full of books around everywhere."
"I already left copies in the stalls of every men's room in this building. Would your secretary be willing to do the same in the women's rooms?"
Nothing promotes happiness and well-being like a nice bowl of our famous New Englad Clam Chowder. You'll feel fulfilled in body and soul once you have a bellyful of that magical combination of Velveeta, Oscar Mayer bologna, Spaghetti-O's, and cinnamon.
"My life was empty and meaningless until one day I discovered a magical elixir called 'beer,' and it's like the world suddenly went from black and white to Technicolor. Now I'm spreading the word."
I hope his co-pay was HUGE! There needs to be an insurance code for "annoying".
Dear Dr. Grumpy, will you distribute my book
So my wife stops thinking that I'm just a schnook
You'll feel happy and well just like you drank a beer
And I need a job, so I want to be a self-help book writer
Self-help book writer
"Also, if can I get enough doctors to distribute my book, I plan to apply for a CPT code."
"I'm hoping that this book will make me rich and famous. Just between us, rich and famous is where it's at. Happy and well is for chumps."
