Best Therapeutic Communication Ever

Doctor: You need to stop smoking, you are prolonging your hospital course and not letting you body heal.

Patient: I told you I’m trying to quit, I haven’t smoked in, like, a day.

Doctor: Hmmm, (ruffling through his pockets for cell phone, opening camera phone) I took this picture of you smoking last night when I was leaving the hospital.

I had to leave the room for fear of laughing out loud so I never heard the patient’s response.
