Yesterday was what is now commonly referred to now as a "grey day" which means I, more or less, spent the entire day in bed watching Grey's Anatomy high on Lorazepam weeping hysterically & pondering "where the FUCK IS MY MCDREAMY?!!!" This is not the first time. I don't know what it is about Grey's Anatomy, it is the absolute fucking worst show ever, but it still manages to kick my ass back into the barren lands of heteronormativity every single time. It's like the anecdote for queer independent feminist living because it just makes me want to have deep weep sex with Patrick Dempsey for hours AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO MAKE IT DIEAnyway, the whole thing has got me to thinking about doctors, which got me thinking about television doctors, which got me thinking about television Star Trek doctors, and what the allure of the whole thing is. Think about it. Bones? The Crush? Both notably boneable characters! Exceptionally boneable really. But why? What is it about docs that make us feel so tight in the pants?
I asked my best friend, Brigid, who is currently in med school to help me understand it. She said it was POWER, they have POWER over you, which is totalllllly true. Do you think I would have spent 18 hours alone in my room imagining my future death from AIDS if my fucking bitch of a "doctor" hadn't fucked up my pap smear? Dont think so! In less pap (& more Trek related) terms, it also holds true. Crusher basically has JLP's dick in a jar for the whole series, she owned him, and could pull rank at any time. And Bones-Kirk? Do I even need to go there with weird sexy power struggles?
Meow. In conclusion, we love docs because they own us, and can tell us what to do, and it's even worse when they're sexy, which they only are on TV (unless you're Brigid). This conclusion has managed to offer me some solace, however, in terms of Patrick Dempsey mostly, because now I will hopefully free-associate his name with AIDS.

Have you seen season 5 of Greys (or the end of season 4)? That should help you get over its heteronormativity some. ;)
not yet but i hear there are queers & im looking forward 2 it!
I had a really hot jewish doctor fondle my balls (medically) one time in Montreal for a testicular cancer exam.
He was incredibly hot and smelled minty and I would have jumped him immediately except I had just finished telling him I thought I had chlamydia of the throat (it turned out to be strep), and there was also a nurse present.
