Flattery

I was getting an ultrasound today and it seemed like the tech was taking a lot more pictures than I would have expected. I asked him why he was doing that and he told me that he likes to take lots of pictures so it will be easier to detect changes if the next time should reveal some unwanted developments.

He then added that he likes to do so because, unlike most people, my organs are really clear. "See?" he says, and then he proceeds to show me my gall bladder, liver, and pancreas as I stare up at the screen.

To put it mildly, I was flattered.
