Take Off Your Clothes So That I Can Look In Your Ear

America is a great place, but I was never fond of the medical system. You go to the doctor for an ear ache and you're told to strip and it's not because anyone's into you cause you've been dieting and look really hot despite the bloated red ear. Why can't they look in your ear while you're wearing your clothes? If they did that you'd be in and out in 5 minutes and not waste your whole frickin' day hanging out with sick people.

It's not enough for doctors that they make buickloads of money and have the title Dr., which in itself is a known aprodisiac. They want to mess with your head and make you totally insecure in case they run into you at the mall.

Over here we have socialized medicine. Everything but your teeth is totally taken care of, it's really great. Your family doctor has about four hours to process 50 people and he's making less money than your daughter the waitress, so he's not going to waste his time making you strip. He's going to look in your ear and know how to deal with you in two seconds flat. He'll either write you a prescription or send you for a lab test. He doesn't need to see your butt and mess with your head to do that.

My cubemate had nothing but good things to email me about his recent medical visit:
"Today I was at the doctor’s. She told me to take off my clothes and then she had a rummage around. It cost me one hour's parking and I never had to buy her a drink! Money well spent indeed!" (His ache was not in his ear.)
