Doctor, Doctor, Give Me The News

I was feeling so under the weather yesterday. I had cough, running nose, sore throat and not to mention a fever. Now this is a big deal to me because it's been TWO YEARS since I've last fallen sick. I don't know, it could be the 4 day vacation under the scorching sun or the barbeque dinner yesterday filled with heaty delicacies.

So yeah, it's been a while since I've stepped into a clinic and frankly, I've missed a lot about it; the smell, the patients, the nurses and of course the doctors. Now here's where it gets interesting. After being missing in the scene for so long, an avid medical drama series fan such as myself tends to expect a more interesting trip to the doctors. You know, patients yelling, crash carts being rushed here and there. I even did a little bit of homework:

(In the clinic)
Ben: Doctor, I think I have a mild fever.
Doctor: What else?
Ben: I also have influenza, pharyngitis and a serious case of pertussis.
Doctor: ...
Ben: I've narrowed it down. It's either I have the very curable Diphtheria OR we have the makings of *gasp* Avian Influenza.
Doctor: ...
Ben: What's my prognosis doctor? Don't worry, I can handle the truth!
Doctor: Doctor Lo from the next block sent you, didn't he? That jackass.

Actually all she really did after I told her my conditions (in english) was take my temperature and then charge me 42 bucks. For the meds of course. Fine, maybe I was being a bit overly dramatic but at least let SOMETHING happen:

(In the clinic)
Ben: I have a really bad sore throat.
Doctor: Well then, let me make it better for you. (Slides tongue into Ben's throat) Is that better?
Ben: Yes. (Slowly undresses the doctor with slow love-making music playing in the background)

I gotta slow down on em' dramas.
