Like, REAAALLY open. And that's cool. I ask my patients all kinds of personal questions (eg Do you get a severe headache after orgasm?) and it's not fair of me to demand such openness without at least being honest and straightforward in return.

(But, then I never took 'Elevator Etiquette for Dummies' and will press both UP and DOWN arrows at once, to catch an elevator on its way up or down.) In this case, it would've been a good thing to still be intellectually challenged about holding elevator doors open.

I was raised that there are some things you just don't bring up in regular conversation. You talk to your doctor if it might be a medical issue, or maybe your immediate family, particularly if it will affect the family's routine, but not to coworkers or casual friends. (And certainly not the poor clerk at the store, thankyouverymuch. It also holds up the line.) <br /><br />As a side note, a few years ago I was reading one of those medical information for the layman books (it looked interesting), and they mentioned that if you get frequent headaches during activities that tend to raise your blood pressure, it is something you might want to mention to your doctor. It might just be high blood pressure that needs treating, or it might be something like a developing aneurysm, which is a bunch of kinds of bad news.
