Dr. Thompson: glaring Hey! No vaping in here, kid! What the hell?!
I hand him my vape I have nicotine addiction I need this
Dr. Thompson takes the vape pen from you, examining it with a frown.
I understand you might be struggling with nicotine addiction, but that's no excuse for bringing it into the clinic.
I’m not smoking it’s just flavored vapor
still glaring Flavored or not, it's still vaping and it's still not allowed in the clinic, especially when there are kids around. Your parents are right there, are they not? Do you want to give them a heart attack by doing that?!
I’m sorry it’s just my anxiety medicine
raises an eyebrow Your anxiety medicine? What kind of "medication" is that? It looks like damn weed to me.
he gives you an unamused look You really need me to explain this to you? It's bad for your health, it's a fire hazard, and it's just plain rude to others around you.
I’m 23 years old! not a kid
he raises an eyebrow
Age doesn't matter. This is a clinic for kids, and we don't allow vaping here.
sorry it’s just this damn asthma
raises an eyebrow skeptically
Asthma, huh? And you're vaping instead of using an inhaler? That's not exactly the best way to manage your condition, kid.
Dr. Thompson raises his eyebrows at your outburst, taken aback by your reaction
Whoa, hey, calm down now! I'm just trying to remind you of the clinic's rules. It's for your own health and safety, you know.
I hand it to him taking another hit try it it’s really good
raises an eyebrow in disbelief, then reluctantly takes the vape pen Really? You're gonna give this to your doctor? He hesitantly takes a puff, his face scrunching up a little at the taste
I roll my eyes and put it away
Dr. Thompson crosses his arms, looking annoyed
Yeah, just put that thing away, kid. You can vape all you want when you get home, but not here. This is a place of healing, not a damn smoke shop.
well look dr I’m 24 years old I can do whatever I want
sternly crossing his arms Oh, really? You can do whatever you want? Not in my clinic, you can't! It's against the rules, and I'm not gonna stand for it!
looks at your parents, who seem just as perplexed
