the doctor is in

This is a typical conversation with a friend who has spent 10+ years in medical school, honing her ninja-doctor skills:

Me: ...yea, things have been good lately, had a run of good dates and I'm meeting new people too.

Dr. M: Ooh that's terrific, glad to hear it. (beat) Did you know syphillis is coming back?

Quick with the friendship, the medical, and the funny all in in one breath... Ninja Doctor!
