Dear LFTP: the doctor's waiting room

• Should you ignore an acquaintance you spot in a doctor's waiting room at a specialist's office?

After an audio glitch and some weather banter, a host reads a Dear LFTP letter: should you ignore an acquaintance spotted in a specialist's waiting room, where being seen reveals a private condition? The hosts riff on vasectomy-clinic run-ins and a hypothetical 'Bob Thompson,' with one recounting feeling out of place at a cardiologist's office as a young man, and they ask the chat whether acknowledging a woman at the gynecologist is weirder. The Secular answer is read aloud: acknowledge the acquaintance but refrain from asking questions — not even 'how are you' — which the hosts find both sensible and awkward.
