    Once went to a pharmacy because apparently one of my kids had pinworms. Which means we all had to take the medicine. Anyway, my wife and I figure that we should all take it the next day (can’t remember the precise reasons, but it had to do with the fact that you have to take a second dose like two weeks later). This determination is made at night, so I have to drive up to the store to pick it up. I have four kids, so we needed to get two boxes of the stuff.

    I don’t think much about it until I approach the register area and I swear that management decided to schedule the best looking people to work that particular night shift. Everyone was hot. And here I am, like 10 o’clock at night, holding two boxes of butt worm medicine, suggesting that there’s so pressing a need for this product that I had to get it right away…

    … And that’s ok, because i’m focused on my diarea and not trying to impress a random girl.

    Know your priorities.

      I learned from my doctor about 2mos back that Loperamide(immodium) is fairly strong stuff. I had to get a Rx for something similar that could be taken multiple times a day where as immodium can only be taken like twice a week unless things are severe.

    Ya for real though, don’t worry, people in medical/human services aren’t too worried about your explosive diarrhea. (I know it’s hard to emotionally detach on this when you’re younger). But…It’s just a job. My colleagues and I have often incidentally been extremely intimate just by virtue of we have to work with people who are sometimes naked, and deal with fluids and the like. In any other context it might be embarrassing to meet someone and thirty minutes later look at a penis together. Nature of the beast etc. Everyone poops!

      I remember seeing a stunningly beautiful woman at the grocery store, and I looked in my cart and saw lactose-free milk, lactose-free probiotic yogurt, and ultra-soothing toilet paper. I’m sure she was impressed.

      You’re doing a good thing by saying yes whenever they ask if you are okay having a student or fellow observe. Especially for those awkward visits, like a rash on your genitals or a colonoscopy. Those are our future doctors!

        I had a nasty infection on my foot when I was younger, like full on pus-volcano type thing, it looked and smelled terrible. The city I lived in back then was one of the biggest teaching hospitals in the country, when they asked if students could come watch I said sure, of course! Next thing I know there was like a dozen of them in my room, taking turn prodding the pus-volcano with a stick, cleaning it out (extreme pain), and just overall commenting on it and leaning over it super close. I’m glad I helped their education but damn was it awkward especially since I was about the same age as them at the time if not a bit younger if I recall.
