I think the one that might be missing is the answer to the question that is most often asked by healthcare professionals
No I don't have any allergies
or
Besides hospitals/my wife/work/chemo/stupid questions/repetitive questions/upbeat nurses/people who can't read my file/loud visitors/visitors who won't leave; I don't have any allergies
Alex managed to have a different answer to this question on every occasion which had to be upwards of 100 times he was asked during treatment and follow up

Only once did a nurse laugh so hard she actually gave me one of those fire-engine red wrist bands for allergies with"bullshit" written on it. I should have kept it to recycle each time as I've never convinced anyone to do it, even though I put it in all my medical questionnaires
charm.
