watermelon, watermelon, watermelon

sometimes, esp as a medical student, i can actually see people actually tune me out. its a skill that ive developed over the years of endless lectures, so its not too surprising to my superiors (all hail the attendings) would use it too. usually when im presenting a patient and get to the family history, i can sense the thought bubble popping up over their heads, most likely of a hamburger, which is my frequent cartoon thought bubble. and then you feel trapped, but must keep going because its part of the history, need it for billing, but everyone zones out, like its 5 second build in nap during the history/physical. over my now numerous years of a medical student, ive grown to accept. except this time, as the other medical student was in the middle of her patient presentation in the attendings office, he LITERALLY GOT UP and walked out of his office. mid sentence! she was like, is he somehow listening from down the hall, should i continue...wtf? he then came back, said 'ekg' with his hand out, and then continued on like nothing happened. i wonder where he went.
