Scenes from Dr. Kirk's office.... 🙄

06/02/2026

My sons whip my tail. Fine. I said it. Attempting to train with these sexy psychopaths, my old body just ain’t got it anymore. On a recent training session, pulling a weighted sled, my smarmy, smart-mouthed sons remarked “if you were the main plow mule, we’d never get this field done.” And they were right. They weren’t being mean, just the typical drill sergeant motivation I used on them. They were right - I’m the old work mule that you just don’t have the heart to shoot because I’m really good with the kids. Such is life.
BUT, why am I out here embarrassing myself? Prideful stubbornness, sure. But, I also know that medically there is truth to the statement “Use it or lose it.” Granted, there are smarter choices than mine. I fall to peer pressure from these infuriatingly active Munsayac boys. But I will NEVER get on to a patient for the motivation to be active. The old saying (paraphrasing) says the hardest repetition in an exercise is the one that gets you off your butt to START exercising!
Once we accomplish that (I’ll dedicate an entire article on that later), just know that the biggest way to sabotage your efforts is to do too much too fast and get hurt. So, yes, we will require a long, more dedicated warm up. Stretching. Getting the blood flowing. Our muscles, tendons and ligaments cannot withstand the same activities of the past, so yes, we will have to adjust that. And we will need a more dedicated cool down and recovery period. Moreover, our nutritional needs will be different. Dr Kirk, this sounds like such a hassle! Is this even worth it all? That’s between you and your Maker. But I will tell you this: God designed you for efficiency. Picture this. Your body has a behind-the-scenes, busy, biological butler. The busy biological butler buzzes around and gets rid of things not being used. “Oh, where is that cup I laid on the table?” Busy Butler says, “Sorry, I threw that away. No one was using it.” He’s efficient. Tidy. Not going to let something take up space, time or energy if he gets the idea no one is using it. Your body is his mansion he’s tending. Bones will soften if not stressed and weight applied to them. Muscles will atrophy if not given activities. Cartilage that is designed to absorb shock will deteriorate if not shocked. You have to show your busy body biology butler that you are using that cup! Or he’ll do away with it.
One of Daddy’s favorite sayings he told patients (it’s not his original quote, but he loved using it) was “You don’t stop doing things because you get old - you get old when you stop doing things.” You and your doctor should discuss the condition of YOUR mansion and the SAFE way to stay active. Then it’s just a matter of doing that hardest activity – getting off your butt. Need motivation? I know a pair of sly-smiling psychopaths (that look a lot like crazy young Kirks…) who will happily come call you names. Tough love in the Munsayac Mansion, y’all. Pass the ice and ibuprofen, Butler.
Yours in Health and Christ, Dr. Kirk

You’re not gonna believe this! And I’m not using that as a colloquial phrase, being dramatic in conversation. You literally are about to read this and no matter how much medical FACT I put in it, you won’t believe me. Probably call me a liar. Watch.
When you shave hair, it DOES NOT permanently become thicker and darker. (see? Why are you shaking your head?) This medical myth was debunked by Dermatologists back in 1928, yet almost 100 years later, still it lives on! “But, Dr. Liar, er, excuse me. Dr. Kirk, I can SEE that it comes back thicker and darker. Explain that!” Happy to. What you are witnessing is a PARTIAL truth. Shaving something doesn’t doom you to a permanent life amongst the apes. Put away the bananas and allow me to explain.
Three reasons why this myth hangs around: 1) New hair is coarse. See, hairs all grow from a follicle that involves a sebaceous (sweat) gland. As you perspire, the oil from your body is projected onto the hair, coating and protecting it. Like any moisturizing, it makes the hair soft and pliable. New hair hasn’t had a chance yet! So, yes, it may seem “thicker” at first, but this coarseness goes away in a day or two. 2) Hair is darker before it is exposed to the elements. Sunlight, soap, shampoos, lotions, etc. etc. all lighten your hair. Again, the brand new hair that is peeking it’s turtle head out of it’s follicle shell hasn’t experienced this world yet. So, yes, new hair may be darker at first, but lightens within a few days. 3) Perception. When you mow your lawn, you get a beautiful sight of pristine, Camden Yards-level grass. And when the first sprigs and dandelions pop up, it’s tragic! Once you have the picture of smooth in your mind, the new growth is sinful! Such is your skin. A clean shaven area is glorious. And new growth insults your mind’s eye worse than normal.
Let’s face it. God blessed us with hair covered bodies. Some of y’all got an extra scoop of that blessing. And how you landscape your temple is up to you and whatever Deacon body runs your day-to-day. But the old medical myth that leads one to say “Oh gosh, don’t shave that! It will come back darker and thicker!” needs to be put to rest. But, like I said at the start: you don’t believe me.
Yours in Health and Christ,
Dr. Liar Pants on Fire Kirk

A literal HEADS UP!
At the clinic, we have a mama bird that must have a new nest somewhere nearby. Doing her Lord's blessed duty, she's swooping around our parking lot in maternal instinct. She's not harmful. But can be quite startling. Please watch your step in our parking lot if you are reflexively startled by her. We are looking into options on how to deal w this issue.
I got my daily helmet on, so im good. 😁
