But the 4 year old sister of a patient came over and tugged at my coat while i was filling out paperwork in the hallway. I smiled at her and asked, yes?

She responded: "I'm going to save the world, you know."

I said, "Oh, really? That's awesome. How are you going to do that?"

She
looks both ways in the hall to make sure no one's coming, and then she
leans close and tells me, "...I have superpowers. But you can't tell
anyone because you'll give away my secret identity. Shhhh."

It totally made me remember that tv show, my secret identity? No? I didnt think you did...i am the master of obscure 80's TV shows

Did you know it was Jerry O Connell as the star of that show? I certainly did not. In an amazing coincidence, I have been getting my Sliders fix in lately, Jerry's breakout obscure 90's show. Gosh I love my obscure TV.

And because I havent been inappropriate at work lately, while I was sitting in the office doing yet more paperwork, i saw a little hispanic boy go running down the hall. This is not unusual as kids are usually running around the clinic. Once I saw him go by, the next thing I heard was a parent calling out in a thick spanish accent

"Marco!"

I couldn't help myself. "Polo" I said out loud. Which caused the kid to turn around briefly, but thankfully none of the other attendings was in the room. BUt cmon, what a setup!
