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...
My vision was the only thing on my mind when I walked into the optometrist's office for my annual checkup. I was more than overdue for my eye exam, but what I saw as soon as I opened the office door made me take a hard second look. And it wasn't because my eyes were bad; on the contrary, my vision is near perfect. No, what caused me to stare was the woman st...
"Well I think that's all the questions I have for now." The recruiter smiled and put down her pen. "Is there anything you'd like to ask me?" "Not right now..." I smiled too, pleased that I had clearly made a good impression. "Lots of prospects for you I think... now if you'll just come this way?" She stood up and gestured to a door behind her desk, not the...
This is a fictional account of something which could have happened. Don't waste your time telling me you do not like the story. I would like to hear comments helping me write better. *** It was early 2000 when William Archer (Wil) negotiated the sale of his internet company with the help of his childhood friend, Jon Whishman. Jon attended college receivin...
I stood in the open door of the nurses' station and felt rather foolish. Coach had sent me here after I got hit by a stray tennis ball, but I was okay already. Perfectly all right. Well, maybe not perfectly; a dull throbbing still remained where the ball had hit me, but it was almost gone. Certainly nothing to bother the tennis club's nurse with. But Coach h...
This submission is an account of my actual colonoscopy and the succeeding events. It is 90% factual and 10% fantasy. For some it might be educational. Others, if you have an active imagination and can fill in the blanks, will find it amusing. I'll let the reader guess which parts are the result of my active imagination! ***** When a man reaches a certain...
It was one of those spectacular late spring days in New England. Crystal clear skies, 70 degrees with promise of warmer temperature as the day wore on. I was in great spirits. I had pulled into the parking lot a few minutes early for my appointment and was looking over some papers spread out on the passenger seat for a meeting scheduled for later that mornin...
#sphfansonly: A story for a niche audience. The slender young blonde's name was Julie. Dr. Julie M. Netten, to be precise, holder of a newly minted degree in medicine from the University of Washington. A placard framed in black plastic and hastily tacked to the wall behind her desk early yesterday morning confirmed this in bold italic script to all comers,...
Jamie thumbed through the pages of her college student newspaper seriously procrastinating from the 10 page final paper she needed to write. It should have been easy, after all, she'd already done all the reading and she loved her child psychology class. She had done well on her other papers and knew what the professor liked, but right now, she couldn't focu...
Her good friend had recommended the new medical practice in the center of town. She was due for her annual check-up with her physician and since her current GP was retiring, it seemed only prudent to select a new provider for her medical needs. Her friend had been very complimentary and also added that some of the recommended treatments had been so success...
