i made an appointment to see the doctor. took my seat in the waiting room, waited for my name to be called.
we shook hands, said our hellos, mentioned the weather, then he asked what the problem was.
i told him. he nodded, asked me to lower my trousers. he busied himself at the sink, pulling on rubber gloves.
it was when he approached me, his voice panicked. his hands flew up, as if to ward off an attack by predatory birds.
i jumped back, almost losing my balance. the doctor was screaming now, something about "the power of christ".
