Well, Scott, here you are.
Ten on the dot.
Now what can I do for you?
Probably nothing, but .
I have a problem.
I hope not a big one, but it might be.
One you dont want to talk to your regular doctor about?
Oh, I went, Scott said, and got a checkup.
Bloodwork, urine, prostate, the whole nine yards.
It was diabetes I was worried about.
WebMD suggested that was the most likely.
Im losing weight, Scott said abruptly.

Now Im on it first thing every morning.
