Her Attitude Is A Real Shot In The Arm
I’m visiting my doctor for a checkup about a week after my booster shot. The nurse is taking my vitals.
Nurse: “So, how was your shot?”
Me: “A little sore when I lift my arm, but otherwise, nothing, really.”
Nurse: “Most people get knocked out for a day or two.”
Me: “Yeah, I thought I would, but I feel fine.”
Nurse: “You know, when you get sick after a vaccine, that means your body is building immunity. So, if you didn’t feel anything, you probably didn’t get anything.”
Me: “But—”
Nurse: “There are stories about people injecting with water and all kinds of stuff.”
Me: “I don’t—”
Nurse: “You should look into one of those tests to see if it worked.”
Me: “No, I—”
Nurse: “You should! If I got a shot and it didn’t do anything for me, I’d sue!” *Pauses* “Your pulse is high. Are you okay?”
Me: “You gave me my shot.”
The nurse sits in silence for a moment, embarrassed.
Nurse: “Well… not here, obviously… I mean, people here don’t… I was just… uh… The doctor will be in to see you shortly.”
She left without another word. The doctor came in and assured me that their shots are the real deal and that just because I didn’t feel anything it doesn’t mean I’m not covered.
