Sunshine, me?

I’m currently sick with the flue and have a throat infection. A few days ago I went to see the local GP. I walked into the reception area and what’s the first thing the receptionist said to me?
“How are you?” she asked.
I was dumbfounded, with the condition that I was in couldn’t she see how I was? She could’ve said a million other things, like:
“Hi, you’re here to see the doctor, right, please take a seat.”
Or “hey sugar, take a load off, the doc is in the house.”
It was as if she was put upon and was daring me to say good or fine so that she could kick me out again.
“So you’re good are you? Then you won’t be needing to see the doctor. Well, there’s the door, loitering is a crime you know. Thank you very much for helping me waste some of my time.”
Polite as I am, I said good thank you anyway, which was the only thing I could think of saying at the time, normally I’m armed with witty remarks which I could use as a comeback.
