Bend Over

"Doctor, I woke up this morning and my butt was very sore."

"This new universal health care really brings them in."

"Who are you? You're not Dr Johnson. You're a woman."

"So. Whose fingers do you want up your butt, ex-NBA player Johnson or a five foot woman? Now drop the shorts and bend over."

The logic seemed solid so I bent over.

"You've got abduction butt. Use hemorrhoid cream if it hurts too much, but it'll be better in a couple of days. And pay the nurse on the way out."

"But insurance?"

"Dosen't cover alien abductions."

 I like the sequel. It's pretty funny and you've done a good job of giving the doc some character. Thinking about it, I realize that we know nothing at all about your pov character, but that's ok. He comes across as a kind of 'everyman,' which helps the reader self-identify, I think.
