Hippocratic Heat
Rosie's moonlight job at a public mental health clinic finds her on the verge of needing treatment herself. Her patient drives her into sexual insanity.
She says, "This is your third visit to me this month. We should give you a cot and let you live here."
"I am desperate. No woman will have me."
"The Zoloft makes it difficult for you to achieve orgasm. We've tried you on Prozac and Paxil the same problem. I am wits end with you. Let's cover all the bases. When was the last time you had a prostate exam?"
Her patient says, "Well my you are a pretty young girl. I'd love to have you give me one."
"Oh, you're just pushover for sexy young things like me."
He observes, "Are you married?"
"No. You can see I'm a lovely young lass. I'm well past my nymph years which makes it all the more is tragic. You look surprised."
"Astonished. You are a coquette with the sass to prove it."
"Oh my, you're getting frisky. Let's get back on course. When was the last time you had a colonoscopy?"
"I've neglected to get one. I'm such a brat."
"Oh my, you sure are a bad boy. Yes, if you don't follow your doctors' orders as the front line enforcer of the rules, I'll have to spank you."
"Is warming my buns in your job description?"
"I studied feminist theory in college. Now I apply my education to the real world. In fact, I see my profession as a way of putting men in their place. I am sort of an evangelist in this regard. As a psychiatric nurse, my authority gives me great power over my patients. All it takes is a doctor's signature diagnosing you as hypersexually manic and you'll find yourself committed. I can set those wheels in motion."
"Then you wouldn't find out how charming I can be," he says.
