Leslie John

Yeah.

Yeah.

It really is.

I had this really funny moment in college where I went to the clinic to get it.

I wanted an STD test and I get to the clinic and I was so impressed because when you get there, they let you write down what your issue is.

So you never have to say the words out loud.

So I wrote it down on the sheet of paper.

I handed it in.

But then when it was my turn, this is like a Larry David episode, when it was my turn-

The nurse said, Leslie John, STD testing.

Nightmare.

Nightmare.

Yeah, this is the like a super grand poobah in the American Academy of Family Physicians president, Dr. John Cullen.

Maybe that's what made it a little bit harder, actually, because he was so high status.

At any rate, he was literally about to cut open a patient to take out their appendix.

But he had this kind of sixth sense that something, you know, you do enough reps of these things and you get a sixth sense and something wasn't right.

Um, and apparently symptoms of drug abuse, specifically methamphetamines, they can actually resemble those of appendicitis.

And so before he cut her open, Dr. Culler gave it one final chance.

He said, I quote, we're about to cut you open here.

Are you sure you don't want to tell me anything else?
