I’m a respiratory therapist in a film… I don’t exist πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚β˜ οΈ
I'm a doctor in a film: I shock asystole, and when that doesn't work, a precordial thump with a shouted "wake up, damn it!" does the trick. I miraculously have energy for sex in a call room with my intern gf after a 48-hour shift. My white coat is pressed/starched. I look young.
