I pit patients with tattoos from head to toe (including swastikas) who whine over getting shots

Honestly, I wouldn’t believe this stuff from someone who didn’t work where you work.

I have no tattoos, but I DID get my flu shot yesterday afternoon.

The people where Qadgop works remind me of what we used to say when I worked at a drug rehab clinic:

“If these people weren’t messed up they wouldn’t be here”

And actually German as opposed to those domestics.

It might work. Are willing to visit the prison?

If he did that my guess is that the whole prison population would line up for a shot…or two…or three.

…and then they’d get poked with a needle…

I have a bad needle phobia and I can see the difference. Tattoo needles don’t jab deep into the muscle. While I’d never get a tattoo either it makes sense to me to fear shots and blood draws more.

I prefer Al Franken’s take on NeoNazis: Say what you will about them but anyone who joined the Nazi Party after 1945 is no fair weather friend.

it wasn’t going into his muscle.

It was going into his joint.

Tell him if he’s good he’ll get a “Storm Trooperz Babies” band-aid afterward.

Reminds me of the attending doc I worked with during residency at the VA, whose response to a vet who’d expressed some trepidation about a fine needle aspiration was “Big war hero afraid of a little needle? The needle’s smaller than a bullet!”

I still have milk. Could I charge for access to it?

You could act as Qadgop’s nurse… wow, wait… let’s change that to assistant.

My uncle is a veterinarian (I swear, this is relevant.) When I was a kid, he used to give rabies clinics, where he’d take over a county warehouse and people would bring their critters in for a $5 rabies shot. He did this on Sundays, so often recruited family members to help. I helped out several years in a row, sometimes registering the rabies tags to each animal, sometimes as the vet tech.

[Relevance alert] In my experience, the little dogs would stand there, get their shot, and keep on wagging. They wouldn’t even flinch or anything. No reaction to being stabbed with a needle. The big dogs always yelped and cried and acted like my uncle was trying to cut their tail off.

It’s always the big dogs who cry the loudest. [/analogy]

Do you take payment in cigarettes?

Most prisons are non-smoking facilities these days. Get caught with tobacco and off to solitary you go!

Yet another childhood image shattered, is NOTHING sacred these days?

Where there’s no problem with second hand smoke. :smiley:

So what *does *get traded for favors there these days?
