Fell in Love with a Doc

Part 2 of a parenting class went down last night. I didn't actually write about the first session because it was a real snoozer, and the only thing I learned was how to swaddle the teddy bear I brought to class. Actually, that's not entirely true, I also learned that foreigners are completely unihibited in group parenting classes (questions, comments, and goofy accented snickering) and that I should be even less intimitated than I already was about becoming a parent, because that class was geared towards people who have never seen a baby in their life, and there definitely seemed to be a few of them in the crowd. I don't mean they didn't grow up with siblings or weren't around a lot of babies, I seriously think some of them were just born straight into teenhood and were segregated from anyone under the age of 6 years old for the entire sheltered life. Also, everyone in the video watched was 100% creeepy. It's truly a miracle that the hospital's Amber Alert system was not blaring during the entire thing.

Last night was a completely different story. Basically just an open Q&A with a pediatrician. The guy showed up late and cracked a corny joke or two to start and I wasn't exactly loving him. But then he started fielding questions and it was a match made in heaven. When asked why the media and talk shows were so concerned with unsafe vaccinations he responded with 100% sincerity and said, "Because the media is a bunch of retards". The only thing that could have made that response better was if he had said the lady asking the question was a retard for being concerned with why talk shows are talking about something. He went on to calmly and rationally talk everyone off their neurotic ledges and even put a guy in his place who seemed to be qouting Rush Limbaugh verbatim in hopes of a pat on the back.  The back and forth went something like this...

Idiot: "Isn't it kind ridiculous that vaccinations have not evolved in many years. I mean, we are still using the same technology we used since before we went to the moon."

Doctor Amazing: "Actually that statement is completely false", 2 minute explanation of why the guy was totally wrong, "...so, no, you're statement was 100% incorrect".

I love that freaking doctor.
