Hi my name is Fred and I'm an artist, consequently I've had to do a zillion! different jobs to support myself over the years; a while back I saw an add in a college paper posted by a small medical college seeking men and women to be models for a physical exam class, it said that it would require an hour or two and pay a small fee, the college wasn't far away...
I was 42 years old and single at the time of this episode, and had been working for quite a few years at a technology company. The wages were good and the benefits outstanding. One of these included a valuable disability insurance policy that required a minor physical every three years. For some reason, I had kept ignoring the messages I got from HR remindin...
'Hey, Taffy, have you heard about the new M.O?' 'Yes, it's a Captain Edwards isn't it? I read it in battalion orders.' 'Yes, but did you see the first name?' 'Nope, as far as you and me are concerned, Smudge, officers don't have first names except "Sir." But I seem to remember the initial is "J." Probably John or James I suppose. Anyway, what of it?' 'W...
Never mind why I thought I might have an STD. Later, it turned out that I didn't. I'd gone to the health clinic a half-mile off campus to get tested. I filled out the paperwork at the office window, nervously aware that everyone in the waiting room could be watching me. I found an empty chair and tried to be invisible. Twenty minutes went by before I was c...
"Liam?" the young lady stood in the doorway of the waiting room called out. There was only one person in the waiting area of the clinic, and he slowly tilted his head up to meet the gaze of the blonde nurse stood a few metres from him. "Dr. Vince is ready for you, love," she said and smiled at the 19 year-old, a hint of sympathy on her face. The sofa, wra...
Due to a shortage of key medical expertise in certain areas of my hospital, a reorganisation had to take place quite quickly. I was called up to the consultant's panel at short notice and told that we were overstaffed in my area, namely the ear, nose and throat (ENT) department, and that I was therefore being transferred, with immediate effect, to women's me...
Life had not been kind to Silas Hampstead. The 23-year-old with that terrible name was orphaned at twelve, hated by his two sisters, his tally of sexual experiences was three out of three interrupted insertions – two by husbands and one by police for which the Judge sentenced him to 100 hours community work – his face was scared and... Oh, why go on; suffic...
{I haven't been writing much lately, for one thing my wife Debra is gone off to school so all week, and sometimes two in a row I am here at home by myself. I guess I don't like it all that much, but we do what we have to. For some reason with an empty house I find myself spending more time down at the jetty fishing than sitting around writing. Sometimes I...
A couple of weeks before my four year hitch in the Air Force was to end, I received notice to report to the base hospital for a discharge physical. I was to see a Major Hughes on Thursday at 0900. On the appointed day, I arrived at the clinic in the hospital about 5 minutes before the scheduled time. A cute nurse at the reception desk signed me in and told...
I'd left the city to take up a position at a country nursing post, after a failed romance, some ten months ago. My duties where not arduous, and I had plenty of time on my hands, as although the population were predominately elderly they where by and large a healthy lot. Due to my experience in the city, and the lack of eligible males, I had formed no partne...
