This is our fault. Doctors over-prescribing antibiotics. Got a cold? Take some penicillin. Sniffles? No problem. Have some azithromycin. Is that not working anymore? Well, got your Levaquin. Antibacterial soaps in every bathroom. We'll be adding vancomycin to the water supply soon. We bred these superbugs. They're our babies. And they're all grown up and they've got body piercings and a lot of anger.

JJill
My joints have been feeling all loose, and lately I've been feeling sick a lot. Maybe I'm over training; I'm doin' the marathon, like, ten miles a day, but I can't seem to lose any weight.
[while using an ultrasound] Lift up your arms.
You have a parasite.
JJill
Like a tapeworm or something?
Lie back and lift up your sweater.
You can put your arms down.
JJill
Can you do anything about it?
Only for about a month or so. After that it becomes illegal to remove, except in a couple of states.
JJill
Illegal?
Don't worry. Many women learn to embrace this parasite. They name it, dress it up in tiny clothes, arrange playdates with other parasites...
JJill
Playdates?
[shows the fetus to her] It has your eyes.
JJill
No you see I'm on this birth control-
I know, I saw the scar.
JJill
And my doctor said I might not get any periods if it's working.
You also don't get any periods if it isn't working.
See, this is why I don't waste money on shrinks, cause you give me all these really great insights for free.
Shrink. If you would consider going to a shrink, I would pay for it myself. The hospital would hold a bake sale, for God's sake.
[referring to babies] I'm still amazed you're actually in the same room with a patient.
People don't bug me until they get teeth.
