Clearly you’re not ok becsuse you’re seeing a doctor, but aren’t you supposed to be polite to the nurse? But then again the nurse is doing your intake assessment.

    I’m honest. If I’m there for an annual exam and have no complaints I just say I’m fine. If I’m there for an issue I say “not great”. If I’m there for a follow up of an issue and it’s gotten better I say “better than last time”, or if it’s not gotten better or gotten worse I say “not as good as I’d hoped for”. These leave it open for the nurse to leave the answer as-is and continue with their checklist or follow up and ask about the symptoms.
