Client: I walked, but it really hurt.
Me: To me that means you *could* walk to the bathroom but it was difficult because of your pain.

Then the patient usually gets a little huffy because because I'm forcing them to be honest with themselves and me. All of my client's have to get used to a little tough love.
lol. yeah really.
but what i meant was. You can't do that anymore. Ever.
people misuse it and i'm glad you can call them on it. but when the word
means what it really is; that's about the saddest thing i can think of.
