Doctor Quote by Pete Wentz
“I had a girlfriend once, and I wanted to give her a photo of my heart. Like a x-ray of my heart. So I went to my doctor and complained about pains in my chest and stuff like that. He listened to me and looked at me and said, 'There's nothing wrong with you.' So I told him about my plan, and he liked it, so he sent me to the hospital and got an x-ray, after some blood tests.”
