Alright, today's is a dusey. I'm sure that everyone at least once in their life has had to have a physical for sports, work, or girls camp, but let me tell you, they don't get any less akward with age (like I'm old...). So this morning I had to get a "health screening" so I can volunteer at Primary Children's Hospital (just in case I'm on crack). It was all very nice and comfortable for the first twenty minutes or so, consisting of the usual questions ("have you ever eaten something bigger than your head?", "are your hands bigger than your face?" you know, the usuals). Then she gets out the needles, which I'm okay with so I act as macho as possible and say "Yeah, I dont' mind needles at all...my brother on the other hand"....(sorry Ty, couldn't help it. Remember the little birdy on the pole? HILARIOUS!). So after the tetnus and TB shots she gets out this little cup and tube.....um excuse me, what's that for?...then the paper comes out that's labeled "Speciman Receptical Instructions".....I see where this is goin', and I don't like it. Then I think, "oh crap, I already used the bathroom like 30 minutes ago!" Then ensues the mini panic attack. She leads me down the hall and stops at the restrooms....opens the door, steps aside and says, "just fill it up to the black line, don't flush or use the water, then show me the sample." I enter the bathroom, but she doesn't go anywhere. OH COME ON!!! At least go around the corner or something! Talk about the most akward experience of my life!....almost. I think it can be counted as one of those "World Wonders" (are we up to 7 or 8 now?), that whenever someone gets in this type of situation that they always manage to "fill it to the black line". Then you have to show the dang thing to her ("wow, you're really dehydrated"...akward), and she tells you to transfer it to another little test tube dealy (Do I get gloves for this part or what?). Finally it was over and I grab my bag and ditch out of there as fast as me and my Buggs Bunny bandaid could go. After such an experience I contemplated, " Do I really want to be a doctor and make people feel akward all the time?"....heck yes I do!! It'll be payback for all of my akward moments!

hey man, lay off, its not like youre perfect either...I think, give me time and I'll find something to make fun of you about. It's not that I don't like needs, I just don't like the queesy feeling and rush of blood to my head when I see the needle and then of course the light headedness and weak sensation as you feel like your spinning as you hit the ground thing that I don't like.
