Paging Dr. New BFF

Earlier this afternoon I had a fairly simple medical question. It was not serious enough to warrant a visit to WebMD (any hypochondriac's best friend), so I did the next best thing, and IM'd my friend W, who has exactly as much medical knowledge as I do.

W: hmmm... that's a good question. I really have no idea.
me: I wish we had a friend who was a doctor.
W: Hahaha. The thought is laughable when I think of our friends.
me: Yeah, no shit. It would be our most successful friend ever. Everyone would be in awe of her.
W: Maybe we should place an add on craigslist.
me: Hahaha. "MD wanted for friendship, ability to answer health questions."
W: Dude let's do it, and see if someone responds.
me: What will they get out of it though??
W: Dude we are so fun.
me: That's true. But a doctor might look down on having more than one drink at a time. Maybe doctors are lame? We'll have to craft the ad carefully so that only cool doctors reply.
W: Hmmm, you're right.
me: "Two fun girls seek cool doctor for friendship" ...we might get arrested, this sounds like an ad for an escort service.
W: HAHA
me: Do we care if the doctor is male or female?
W: Hmm. Well, I think I would prefer a female. But I don't really know why. I guess it doesn't matter.
me: I know why, it's because you want your life to be like the Yaz commercial where the friends are all at a swanky bar talking to their doctor friend about hormonal birth control.
W: YES. That is exactly what we are looking for.



me: So ok... "Two fun girls seek young, fun, fairly attractive (but not hotter than us) doctor to hang out at classy bars and sip cosmopolitans with, and you must agree to answer all our health questions at any time, and 'maybe you should talk to your primary care physician' is not a valid answer."
W: Yes, yes.
me: Should we include a picture? Not of us, but maybe a still from the Yaz commercial?
W: I think so.
 
Just like this... only our doctor friend will not be a dramatization. Suckers!
