Size Matters by Ivor Biggan

Coup in Papua New Guinea by Jack Tuat … oh wait, that last one actually happened.

real life Jun 25, 2018

The name of the gynecologist for the birth of my first child was Dr. Nurse. It created no end of confusion when the clerk at another hospital was taking down my history and asked "Doctor?" and I answered "Nurse". When I expanded that to "Dr. Nurse" she was almost irate, "I know there was a doctor and a nurse. What was the doctor's name, please!"
