In fact, 28 percent of Americans admit they sometimes lie to their physician, according to a 2010 national survey by GE, the Cleveland Clinic and Ochsner Health System. You may keep something from your doc out of fear or embarrassment or because it just doesn't seem important.
These are the top 10 lies doctors tell: 1. "I'll be there soon." Often, this lie is not spoken by the doctor. It is more commonly relayed by the circulating nurse in the OR when a spouse calls in to remind the doctor of their child's piano recital, an anniversary dinner, or a plane to catch in a few hours. 2. "I've seen this hundreds of times."
Depends. When your life hangs in the balance, you should not trust your doctor. There is too much at stake. If you are a defendant in a criminal trial confronting a life sentence, you should not trust your lawyer either. You need to get involved personally.
It probably shouldn't come as a surprise then that people aren't always completely honest with their doctors. A recent study published in the journal JAMA Network Open found that 60 to 80 percent of patients have been less than fully forthright with their doctors at some point. That's a lot of untruths told for a wide variety of reasons.
Clara is the future child of the Doctor and River who's had her memory erased. The two Time Lords must be up to something on their nights away from River's prison cell.

Melody Pond's third incarnation, best known as Professor River Song, was a "child of the TARDIS" and the wife of the Doctor, specifically of their eleventh and twelfth incarnations, although she also had encounters with their tenth and thirteenth incarnations, as well as earlier incarnations whose memories were later ...
When Martha arrives at the Senate, the Face of Boe, close to death, imparts his final message to the Doctor: "You are not alone." The Doctor tells Martha that the Face of Boe is wrong; he is the last Time Lord and his planet was destroyed in the Time War.
River Song is Amy and Rory's daughter, also known as Melody. Also known as Mels. It's complicated. River was born with the power to regenerate but used up all her remaining regenerations when she saved the Doctor after she poisoned him because she was programmed to kill him...
Assuming they did not, it would appear that Melody Pond/River Song gave up TEN incarnations (9 regenerations) to save The Doctor. First Regeneration - while homeless, young Melody Pond apparently succumbed to hunger & illness, undergoing her first regeneration in the episode "Day of the Moon".
River Song's Timeline isn't backwards (and neither is the Doctors). Their individual timelines move forward from birth to death (in the loosest sense of the word) but as time travellers they are free to visit any time and space in any order.

John Smith. The Doctor's most common alias (apart from the Doctor, obviously), this is his standard pseudonym on Earth.
The Doctor, played by David Tennant, kisses Martha Jones, newcomer Freema Agyeman, on the lips but then says: "It means nothing, it was just a genetic transfer." The kiss is in the first episode of the third series, which had a special screening at the Mayfair hotel.
It is revealed that when the Doctor whispered to Martha in the previous episode, he said: "Use the countdown." Docherty's betrayal was planned — engineered by Martha so that she would be brought on board the Valiant to rejoin the Doctor.
Point number one, I'm usually told, is that Martha was too “clingy” to Tennant's Doctor. She hated the fact she was a rebound from Rose, and she was bummed he didn't feel the same way about her as she did for him. Her noted line from Family of Blood was, “You had to go and fall in love with a human… and it wasn't me”.
Doctors are supposed to be our best friends when it comes to anything and everything medical-related. So it is both surprising and confusing why some people simply do not trust doctors.
When you visit the doctor,it's probably with a sense of trustand hope. You're at your most vulnerable, but you trust the doctor, and you know he wants to do the best for you.
I'm a doctor, so I can say this with a straight face: Don't trust your doctor. There's no question in my mind that today most doctors are businessmen first and doctors second.
You'll be more likely to try new drugs, follow your treatment plan (jointly agreed with your trustworthy doctor), share important medical information, take preventative measures (eg screening) and have better-controlled diabetes and blood pressure.
Drug and implant manufacturers can unduly influence doctors and, if your doctor is happy to be asked about why they're recommending a particular treatment option, then you're more likely to trust them.
Still, it can be difficult for patients to fully engage in honest dialog with a doctor sometimes because of simple social reasons. "People tend to want other people to think highly of them.

You cannot simply take a person and claim them to be trustworthy or not. Take a hardened multimillionaire criminal. He may be the most trustworthy friend ever. Protecting his people, loyal to his family, pays his dues on time and always does right by those he respects.
Trust is easy to gain, and very, very, difficult to regain once lost. and even then there will always be that little voice saying, what if. I am a firm believer in 2nd chances, everyone of us makes poor choices at times, and as long as we own our errors, forgiveness should be granted.
We trust each other, even in the most heated moments, to never use those against each other. THAT is the trust the brings about a life-long marriage, but that is a trust that is VERY risky, and not to be given to just anyone. If you aren’t there yet…then you aren’t there yet.
There is too much at stake. If you are a defendant in a criminal trial confronting a life sentence, you should not trust your lawyer either. You need to get involved personally. You need to check on everything that is being done. Consult other doctors. If your problem is legal, consult with other lawyers. For that matter, I don’t think you should ...
By now, you may be aware medical error is the third leading cause of death, in the US. That, despite advances in medicine exponental, with it doubling, every twenty years. 1. When they converted to conglomerates and insurers calling the shots, excuse the pun, Doctors lost stature.
