Three Holes
Posted on Wednesday, July 30th, 2003 at 21:00.
I visited Forest Family Physicians to get my college-bound immunizations and physical. This step towards Emerson College involved three shots (with two more in my near future), a drive in the rain with windshield wipers that refused to wipe, and $20 so that FedEx can deliver paper.
In the process, a good conversation with my doctor was had. I guess he is officially my doctor now. I have never had regular visits with any doctor, so I claim him. Anyhoo, he asked me about my plans at Emerson College and my Spirit FM keychain. This spawned a condensed soapbox spiel of how I think Christian media is futile and that I would rather be a Christian in mainstream media as a positive force than live life thinking I made a difference in three soccer mom’s lives working in Christian media. He grinned at the end of our visit and affirmed my college plans. Then, the nurse entered the room.
Are you really sure that you want all three of these today?
Yes,
I replied.
She proceeded to inject me and commented when finished, Aw, look at your little muscles twitching.
I am not sure whether to be more upset that she referred to my muscles as little
or that she thought it was cute that my muscles were twitching after she injected me with half-dead diseases.
