    I once got a bill for my annual physical because the insurance company thought it was an office visit for an acute issue. The way they had it the doctor diagnosed me as only having one kidney, a fact that I told the doctor verbally during the visit.

      It feels like they are calling dibs on adding something chronic to your file, even if you have known about it your whole life. Every doctor I go to still gasps at the fact that I also only have one kidney.
