Back in Uniform---Duty Calls Yet Again  
Well, this morning Doug was back in the same outfit he had been wearing when his sister tried to amputate his finger...so, I thought I would snap a photo of him and put in on the blog so you could get the full effect of his appearance in the Emergency Room a few nights ago! This is how he looked (minus the smile and with the addition of an impressive amount of blood on his hand). He charmed the whole ER staff...they were delighted to get to treat Superman! When the doctor told him he was going to send Superman (as Doug insisted they call him) to X-ray, Doug's face brightened and he announced to me that he would then be a "Superman/X-Man!" (He has been BEGGING for us to let him watch X-men...which we won't...but, never having SEEN X-Men doesn't stop him from KNOWING they must be really, really cool!)

Doug was also very impressed with the various scrubs worn by all the nurses. For some reason, the doctor's white lab coat didn't impress him nearly as much as the variety of scrubs. By the end of the visit he was telling everyone that he was going to be a nurse, too!  ¶ 6/28/2006 09:29:00 AM
