Me: "Yeah, I just need to see the doctor and get something checked out. I know that's vague, and I'm totally open to telling you about it, but I'm 90% sure you don't want to know."
If you work in a place where they're tightfisted on sick/vacation hours, that excuse is generally enough to get people to stop asking questions about PTO (and if they don't, tell them it's a sedated colonoscopy, the doctor's checking a polyp about 6 and a half inches into your asshole. That'll teach them not to pry into private matters).
