POOR CAREER CHOICE: A 100-WORD STORY

Dr. Zimmerman shook his head in frustration.

Since hanging out his shingle, he had had hundreds of patients. Not a single one ever came back a second time.

It was a damned shame. A poor choice of specialty. Prostate exams...

He had been a football player in his younger days. With hands the size of Smithfield hams, he could snag almost any pass. But when a knee injury buried his NFL dreams, medical school beckoned.

Crap, he thought.

You don’t need a weatherman to see which way the wind blows...or that the world has no need for a Meaty Urologist.
