The Physical

Watch Disney's The Jungle Book trailer here.  I think I would like to see this one, scheduled for an April 2016 release.

Son K had a physical last week, it had been a couple of years.  His doctor is such a good looking woman, he doesn't mind going there in the least!  He did say he was given the most flimsy gown with which to cover himself and it managed to get torn as he waited for the doctor to enter the room.  She couldn't help laughing at his predicament and gave him another one.  She counseled him on healthy eating, exercise, drugs.  They had a conversation about school and work.  He told her he was looking for a full time job now that he is finished school.  She advised him to find something he enjoys.  K asked her if she enjoyed her job.  He was surprised that she hesitated and said only that 'it's ok'.  It's interesting how K always picks up on people's reactions, enough to relate his story to me.  I suspect there are not that many people who can just say 'I love my job' with some amount of enthusiasm.

Here you don't get given a gown at all, not even a torn one! Have a good week, hugs, Valerie

Looks like he's just as interesting a conversationalist as his mom! :)

I don't think anyone fully enjoys their job. Especially a doctor. They have to see a lot of bad things happen to good people they wanted to help.

last time I had a physical they basically just told me to drop my pants. No gown involved there. Same thing with getting a shot right above my rear end for bronchitis.

I'm rather glad when I had my physical back as a teenager, my doctor was some guy instead of an attractive woman. I can figure there'd be some eventual embarrassment there during the exam.

i think there are different kind of times that we encounter at various times and every time reaction goes with our current state of mind and attitude ,so though i enjoy my teaching job still sometime when i am sick or feeling low i feel stuck but this feeling could not stay for long

Your son sounds very intuitive.
I think most of us spend our time at 'jobs' versus 'careers'. I think jobs are a matter of survival and careers a matter of passion. Just my take:)

You would think a doctor would like her job...all that medical training, it's a shame to not have a passion for it!

I really enjoyed the original Jungle Book. It seems like your son has your knack with people, how wonderful!

That's odd about the doctor not liking her job. I wonder if she is an M.D. or a PA. Anyway, that's a lot of training and schooling so hope she finds a great passion for it along the way. Jungle book trailer - i will definitely go watch it, thanks.

She's an MD Sandy

His doctor sounds like she does a very good job even if she's not perfectly happy right now. It must have been one of her off days.
