Transcript

00:00

Sorry And here's your shmoop du jour brought to you

00:05

by overstressed doctors It's probably best to avoid them When

00:09

you're getting a physical i'm checking the following dialogue and

00:13

we're thinking about roger button and dr keene Why yes

00:19

i swell boy or girl Well which quotation from dr

00:26

keenan The excerpt best supports the idea that he is

00:29

mohr interested in himself than the health of roger buttons

00:33

Child near the potential answers All right well clearly the

00:40

good dr kean is in a bit of a huff

00:42

Apparently delivering reverse aging babies isn't his very favorite thing

00:46

to do in the morning before his coffee anyway although

00:49

maybe more startling than the good doctor's lack of concern

00:52

for the button family is his comment that one more

00:55

would ruin him Just how many old babies has dr

00:58

king delivered or maybe he's referring to some past birthing

01:01

tragedy We'll still the point is something bad happened but

01:05

a lot of the other comments here don't really convey

01:07

self interest So much is just general frustration and annoyance

01:12

Talk sends and go see for yourself are just kind

01:15

of curt rude and after a fashion doesn't so much

01:19

communicate selfishness as it does a sense of ominous mystery

01:23

like that feeling that creeps up your spine when you

01:25

stick your hand inside the mystery box What is selfish

01:29

is that all the doctor can think about is his

01:31

own reputation and trying not to deliver anymore g's or

01:34

babies because one more could ruin him Makes answer see

01:37

the correct choice because let's face it some doctors can

01:40

be a little self centred Especially when it's already five 00:01:43.193 --> [endTime] o'clock And while they could be golfing
