Shadow

This morning Anh had to check in on a patient and then swing by the office to check on our receptionist. She was at a bar last night when a fight broke out. Just so you don't think we hire gangster thugs, let me briefly explain. She was sitting at a table with a group of friends when the people at the table next to her's got into a fist fight. They ended up knocking over her group's table, and she wound up with a cut on her leg. She's a really sweet girl, not at all the type that would get in a bar fight. It was just one of those "wrong place, wrong time" situations. Anyway, since Anh had promised Jax that they would hang out all day, Jax got to tag along with him.

Anh left Jax at the nurse's station when he went in to his patient's room, and when he returned to pick him up, the ladies shared some of the details of their conversation. They said they asked him his name and how old he was, but then thought they'd give him a hard question. Someone asked, "Is your Daddy a doctor?" Jax answered, "He's a plastic surgeon." Then someone asked, "What does he do?" Jax responded, "He operates and fixes people." They all seemed to get quite a kick out of him. As Anh and Jax were heading out the door, Jax turned around as said, "Thank you. Call me if you need me!" The whole group cracked up. Anh obviously needs to get some new lines!

They had some time to kill before heading over to the office so they stopped into the doctor's lounge where Jax snacked on some cereal, a cookie, and juice. I guess he felt important hanging out with all the doctors. I can only imagine what kind of things he overheard and might possibly repeat in the future. Clearly the kid doesn't miss a thing.

Once they made it to the office, Jax sat outside of the exam room while Anh stitched up our receptionist's leg. Well, at least he was supposed to stay outside. Jax couldn't stand not being in on the action and barged right in after a few minutes. When he opened the door and saw what Anh was doing, he said, "Ooooo, nasty!" Then he walked closer and said, "Can I do it?" Anh laughed and said, "No, maybe in 20 years." Our receptionist laughed and told Jax it was okay if he watched. I guess that was good enough for him because he stood there and watched the whole thing. It seems like Anh's little plan to have Jax follow in his footsteps is shaping up nicely.
