Surgery husband

After days of excruciating pain, C went to see our family physician Dr.B who confirmed a hernia diagnosis and referred him to Dr. Wright for surgery. At the first pre-op exam, while Dr. Wright had a few fingers up C's scrotum, someone busts in with a few knocks on the door. It's no other than the lady receptionist who says "Naan and Curry". Dr. Wright still probing, says "Yeah. Naan and curry. That eggplant curry was real good." After she leaves, Dr. Wright says, "Have some respect for yourself. Put your pants back on." Let's mention Dr. Wright wore a beige crocheted beret, silver snake skin boots in an office over decorated with Guatemalan textiles. If this wasn't Berkely you might get a bit worried.

As there is a long line for surgery, the first available spot would be in February. But as C is in a bad way, he's squeezed for Thursday surgery, the last surgery for the day.
