life not imitating art

when I was at the hospital today and the doctor started dabbing on ointment just like they do on nip/tuck I assumed that there would be some serious doctor/patient emotional tension just like there always is on the show. you know, the doctor had been dating the patient's adult daughter but then the forced intimacy of applying polysporin with a tongue depressor was simply overwhelming and the doctor immediately dumped the adult daughter for the septuagenarian facelift patient. anyway none of that happened today.
