Vault Classics 175

Feels very inflamed, doesn't it, doctor?

Yes, it does. Suction, please.

How is this, doctor, fine?

Mmm, fine.

It's okay?

Nurse Kelly Martin, you are an angel of mercy and a credit to your profession.

Thank you, doctor, fine.

A scholar and a gentlewoman. Please, call me Waldo.

I don't think I know you well enough for that, doctor.

I believe that discipline is very important to the running of the hospital.

I think we should all retain our respected positions.

Mmm, right. More suction, please.

Nurse!

Hi, Mr. Shapiro. Anything we can do for you?

You're not nurses. Where's the nurse?

We're candy stripers, Mr. Shapiro. I'm Sarah and this is my friend Angie. Hi.

Candy stripers? I don't need candy. I need medical attention.

What kind of hospital is this anyway where they let you wither away and die?

Dr. Howard's on his way to see you right now, sir. So why don't you just try to lay back and relax?

Relax. Relax. Relax.

That's easy for you to say.

You're not hovering on the brink of extinction with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel.

Wow, like what's wrong with you? Angie!

What's wrong with me?

You and that Dr. Howard ought to go into business together. He don't know either.
