What they mean: "You'll have to sell your house to cover the rest."
What they say: "These pills have very few side effects."
What they mean: "You may experience sudden hair growth on your palms."
What they say: "Why don't you go over your symptoms with me one more time."
What they mean: "I don't remember who you are."
What they say: "There's a lot of this going around."
What they mean: "And we'll give it a name as soon as we figure out what it is."
