Every time the doctor puts the stethoscope on my back and says "Now take a deep breath," I take it seriously. I take the longest, deepest breath I can take. I can't imagine what it sounds like in her ears; probably like standing in the middle of a hurricane. I wonder if she's ever heard such a deep breath in her life.
Just once I wish the doctor would look at me and say "You have an impressive amount of lung capacity sir." And then I would nod my head and smile modestly and then we would continue the check-up.
Is that so much to ask?
