Dr. Phingerphuk asked me to take off my shirt. Pressing his stethoscope up against my skin he listened for a moment before moving it to my back. He had me take a couple of breathes and could tell that I wasn't a smoker. He asked me if heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes ran in the family. I couldn't think of anyone in my family that had any of those problems, and the doc said that I was lucky. He took my blood pressure, and said that I was right where I needed to be. The doctor made polite personable conversation asking me what I was going to school for. We joked around about my major being Political Science. Dr. Phingerphuk had me stand, and asked me my height. Normally, one of the nurses takes it when you very first walk back to one of the rooms, though with squeezing me in he was trying to save some time. He had me eliminate my shorts. |
