So this is my oh-so-misguided attempt at prerecorded video during the doctor's section. What was the objective of the video? Well, logistically, the videos had to prominately display the user's name. Al was switching from character to character so it was the video's job to let the audience know what was going on (who was being performed). Second, the videos were supposed to characterize the particular bodies/ailments being explained. This proved almost impossible. Given the time constraints, I didn't do any shoots. Result: this is a hodgepodge of stuff (except for JEM) I gathered from the web. If I had to do it over again, I'd stay closer to my obsession with the diagram.

Steve: not good. most days my stomach hurts and i am nervous. today is no different really, but at least it's friday. i worry that i have an ulcer. i had one and now i worry that it might come back.

s.c.a.r.: Before my period I @!#$ a lot. And then I feel thin for about two seconds before I get all bloated. I also throw up. That is a big waste. Especially expensive food.

Cdogg: I usually eat a medium fiber diet...but i also drink a shiteload of caffeine--- diet coke, green tea, black tea, and of course coffee. Because of my caffeine intake, I assumed my behind was bleeding from an unusually high dose. So nervously and sheepishly, I went to my local greenpoint polish doctor and mentioned it to her. Of course a few moments later, pants down , bent over, I awaited the lubed up finger. She did say she would be gentle. And I quote, " I will be much more sensitive than a male doctor."

Mercedez: As a child, my least favorite place was probably the doctor's office. …The doctor that my parents took me too did not like children much. He actually used to yell at us! I knew no terror like a penecillin shot in my ass at this man's hands…

Mercedez (continued): My last doctor visit I was tested for STDs I'll keep this short. Dr. Lin dropped my pants, grabbed hold of my wang and squeezed it forcing open my urethra. He then inserted a special cue tip, twisted back and forth and pulled it out. For those who know, this is very painful procedure.

Jem: On my last doctor's visit, I sat across from a young, friendly, attractive, attentive new doctor with dark olive skin and a strangely out-of-place, yet soothing southern accent. She listened carefully while I described my pain...some injury, some ailment...I can't remember what exactly. As is often the case with doctors, I felt the urge to tell her far more than I needed to...to reveal all the paranoid fears and anxieties and strange presentiments that I have in the middle of the night about my weak and inadequate body...but I restrained myself. She listened to my heart, tested my reflexes, flexed my muscles, gave me a flyer. She prescribed some Tylenol, and told me to rest. I thanked her for her patience and kindness and promised to do the exercises on the flyer. I haven't seen her since...I don't think the ache has completely gone away...

Yiddyalbe: The last time I went to the dentist I realized how amazingly erotic a dental cleaning could be. ... She had her hands in my mouth, massaging, probing and rubbing, while I wondered if other people had ever discovered a new fetish with the dental hygenist. In any case, one thing was clear that day: I have never before left a dentist's office feeling stimulated in areas other than my mouth.

mobilejessy: my jaw is a little on the uneven side, but only my dentist would notice straight off. Most people need to look more carefully, but once they see it they can't miss it. Its lopsidedness suits me - Much like my face, I take a little extra attention to completely figure out. My skin abandons me.

Bob: So health.. How about a 1/2 answer since I feel 1/2 dead.
