Doctor’s Kit
So nice of you to encourage your friend’s kid toward a lucrative career. But if you really want to be a pal, you’ll volunteer to be the person who gets to spend 30 to 75 minutes a day pretending to be the kid’s patient. You may think this is an easy task. But being the patient generally involves having actual human germ factories (read: kids) shove their tiny hands all up in your nose and mouth while they breathe into your eyeballs and pull on your hair. The grand finale, of course, is vaccination time. No, there isn’t actually a needle involved. But that doesn’t mean Doogie Howser Jr. won’t successfully break skin while stabbing you repeatedly with a cheerfully colored blunt plastic shiv.
