Jason's Teacher

So, I had the weirdest conversation with a patient the other day.

Patient: So, if I remember correctly, when I was here last year you told me your husband is in law school.
Me: Yeah he is. I'm impressed you remember.
Patient: How is he liking it?
Me: Oh he loves it. He works really hard but likes most of his classes. He's been getting really good grades too. Law school is a really great fit for him.
Patient: So, what class isn't he enjoying?
Me: It's this class called Microsoft Lab where they do projects for Microsoft. It's a new class and I think they're just having a hard time getting things rolling.
Patient: Where is your husband going to school?
Me: The University of Chicago.
Patient: Oh I teach there.

I immediately started running through everything we've talked about making sure I didn't say anything awful and inappropriate. So, then I said: That's great! What do you teach. (Please please don't say Microsoft Lab).

I can't actually put his response on here because of HIPAA, but it is not Microsoft Lab. Thank heavens. Jason is actually in one of his classes, which made me immediately regret my grades comment. Then he sweetly invited Jason and I over for a tour of his art deco condo building. Awkward to say the least, but sweet non the less.
