And What Are Y’all Going To DO About That Concern?

I am having surgery tomorrow, and I get my phone call from the doctor’s office to go through the pre-surgery questions and instructions. At one point, the staff member asks me this:

Staff Member: “Do you have any financial concerns?”

Me: “About the surgery or life in general?”

Staff Member: “About life in general.”

Me: “I mean, yeah? With this economy, who doesn’t?”

Staff Member: *Sighing* “Yeah, I don’t know why we ask this question. It’s something they introduced recently, and every single time, the person answers yes. I mean, unless you’re like Beyoncé, I feel like everyone is stressed about money.”
