Gender by choice *

• You worked in a hospital in the medical department. Throughout your career, you have seen all kinds of people with all kinds of illnesses. *

• And then one late night, when you were reading a magazine and relaxing, the bell suddenly rang, meaning that an ambulance was on its way to the hospital and it needed a lot of doctors, male and female nurses. *

• Throwing down the magazine, you ran to the hospital exit, where you were meeting wounded people. It turned out that one businessman had been in a terrible accident, but, luckily, he was breathing, and he could still be saved. While you were holding his gurney and running to the operating room, you looked at his face, and, damn, he was very handsome, but you said goodbye to him at the operating room doors, because you can’t go any further. *

• After that, you gathered your things and went home, as your shift was over and it was time to go home. The very next morning, as you approached the administration office, one of the workers gave you some papers about the businessman. His name was Karl, he was 22 years old, and the night before he had been in an accident in which he broke his leg and slightly injured his right arm. Realizing what was wrong and recognizing his room, you went to examine him. Opening the door, you saw Karl lying on his bed, angrily watching television. Approaching closer, you began asking how he was feeling, to which he replied:

• God...is everyone in this disgusting hospital so stupid and clingy?
