    Hmm – are those interns or residents in that last frame?

    Interns I guess – they need every kind of experience they can get.

    I got a toothpick in my heel once, and it did take a doctor to get it out. And it really hurt when he did it. I didn’t realize the heel could be that sensitive.

    Wonder if it to a long time to “heal”

    I hope that’s not his “trigger finger”.

    Shopping in uniform? Must be looking for a “professional” discount.

    Be thankful she cares Joe…at least it won’t get infected or amputated.

    My accident-prone daugher decided to wash dishes while living off campus at school and tried to remove some dried-on home-made linguini from a pot. Jammed the linguini up into her thumbnail and had to have the pasta surgically removed. Ate too many soy-based things at a sushi bar and wound up overnight at hospital foaming at mouth, with raving roommate, during finals. Later stepped on a bee while barefooted and went to the hospital with strep toe (red streaks running up leg). Injured her wrist while sticking her hand into the bell of her (French) horn. Threw her shoulder out while playing pinball at the mall. Broke arm first day of church ski trip. Had to go to ER after stepping on a Coke bottle and spraining something while volunteering at a carwash. Recenly injured two fingers feeling up lawnmower (middle finger stuck in birdflip position). Gee, I’d forgotten there were so many things – was just going to tell about first one. Moral is, you can’t be too careful.

    Sounds like me. My astrological sign is “The Klutz”.

    Occupational hazard with a friend or relative in the medical field. We do get a bit overzealous… ;)

    ;-) I may have a few digits from “The Klutz” in my sign, too. The year before last I got a compound fracture of 2nd and 3rd fingers, rt. hand, after nudging a gym machine’s stuck weight, which grabbed my fingers and slammed its 15-pound self down onto them. Fifteen days later I rose from this computer chair on which I am sitting. My left leg had fallen asleep, and I fell and sprained the ankle and broke the fifth metatarsal (outside of foot). People asked my husband, “Have you stopped beating your wife?” Good luck with your self.

    I thought he took the comic book money & hired a contractor.

    @HighStreetLady As you will see in up-coming strips, Pop is having a tough time leaving this project completely to the professional! Great observation, though

    Ohhh, yes it is, and I just grit my teeth thinking about it.
