INT. Hospital Room - Day

You lie on a bed. Tiny beads of sweat form on your forehead. ENTER doctor and nurse.

Doctor: What seems to be the problem?

Nurse: Patient hasn’t been sleeping. Keeps repeating “June 17 is next week.”

Doctor: Did you get a history?

Nurse: Ties, golf tees, World’s Greatest Dad mugs.

You: Doc, what’s wrong with me?

Doctor: You’re suffering from Patriarch Deficiency Disorder, more commonly referred to as Father’s Day doldrums.

You: Is there a cure?

Doctor: Pot-Docs. The gents at Cordarounds took ER gear, loosened it up for everyday operations, and added a hoodie. They’re made in San Francisco with hemp linen from Transylvania.

Nurse: Hemp linen is less wrinkly than common linen.

Doctor: Daddy-o can lounge around in them or wear them to the store for milk.

You: These scrubs sound serious.

Doctor: But curative. Take two pair, one blue, one green, and call me in the morning.

You: Thank you, doctor.
