Any chance you play basketball, doctor dude? @itsdoctorbaker​

I shoot some hoops every now and then. Why do you ask? 

[itsdoctorbaker]

milliewatson​:

It must be more difficult, like when you’re dealign and examining the actual person asking you out. Do you get hit on by many moms coming in with their kids? That would be so weird. I’ve not accepted dates, but I’ve set some up with cute guys I meet at the dog park, like “Oh, come by and I’ll give your dog a check up”, which in turn gives us more money… So I count it as doing the clinic a favor, haha!

There’s definitely been several overly nice mothers. I try to brush it off and be polite back but sometimes they go overboard. See, I like that! Using it to your advantage. Why not, right? Win win for everyone!

[itsdoctorbaker]

laurenfiles​:

I think I can squeeze you into my very busy schedule..of course. When?

Good, that’s what I like to hear. How does Friday night sound? I have the night off for once.

[itsdoctorbaker]

griffinmason​:

But are you going to be my sugar daddy? I didn’t see an answer to that part. Yeah! It’s good money, and it keeps me in shape so I have zero complaints on that. The ladies, and the men, it’s honestly the perfect job for meeting people. Bartenders probably have it even better.

I don’t know if I can offer my sugar daddy tendencies to you right now, sorry to disappoint. Sounds like a good deal to me. I know this is a cliche excuse but I wish I had more time to get to the gym. I need to get my ass into shape. At least I know who to go to when I get the free time. Does that mean you’ve had any luck in that department?

[itsdoctorbaker]

angbaxter​:

Oh, for sure McDreamy. Personally I preferred Patrick Dempsey in that show because despite his short comings in the beginning, he was loyal to his family and passionate about his job, and there is nothing more attractive than that. I mean after so many times of standing up too fast and not knowing why I felt like I was going to pass out it’s nice to be in control of something in my life.

I would have to agree with that. I think McDreamy is more fitting for me then since those qualities mean a lot to me also. Yeah, I can’t imagine how frustrating that must have been, especially not knowing why at first. So I’m glad you have it figured out now. What do you do for a living?

[itsdoctorbaker]

milliewatson​:

As people-facing jobs, it’s part of ours to be like, nice and kind and polite, but it should be in their minds to not do things to make us uncomfortable. It does… Have you ever accepted a date from a patient?

Exactly. Some days it’s tougher than others, that’s for sure. No, I haven’t. I don’t think it’s professional, especially while on duty. I think I’d feel too uncomfortable. How about you?

[itsdoctorbaker]

laurenfiles​:

I think it’s cute. But what are you going to do about it?

I would like to start my taking you out to dinner. Would you be alright with that?

[itsdoctorbaker]

griffinmason​:

How much money is that though? Cause I could use a sugar daddy, I’m just saying. I’m a personal trainer, so I get hit on constantly by clients or people in classes that I’m running. It’s insane.

Ha, let’s just say I’m living comfortably. I did work hard to get where I am though, so I don’t mind saying that! A personal trainer, huh? Oh yeah, I can see it. All the ladies coming to the gym, insisting they’re there for the exercise when in reality they probably just want your number.

[itsdoctorbaker]

isabellacosta​:

I can totally see how that would be annoying in your line of work, but I’m glad you could also make light of it and see the humor of it all… until it got a little creepy of course. I hope nothing like that has happened since. 

Yes, definitely. I try to see the good and fun in things, especially since my job is so serious most of the time. Nope, so far things have been strictly business which is the way I like it. Speaking of, what do you do for a living?

[itsdoctorbaker]

milliewatson​:

I know, right? Nothing says the beginning of a wonderful relationship like the fact that I’ll be soon expressing your pug’s anal glands and you’ll probably vomit from the smell. What a treat, huh? I just laugh and like, politely not comment on anything until the exam is over while I usher them out the door, I don’t think there’s anything I’m supposed to say, you know? Unless I want to, and then I’d just, wait until the end of the exam and then give them my card, ask them to call me. Does that still count as being wrong?

Ha, yeah. That sounds like the perfect first impression. Yeah, they really don’t make it easy, do they? I don’t know what they expect in that situation. But yeah, I think you handle it as best as you can and if you really think it can go somewhere, you can try and make it work after the exam is over. You never know, it all has to start somewhere.

[itsdoctorbaker]

grayshq​:

I have a lot of favourites but I think candid pictures probably take the cake. Just random landscape shots or ones of people on the street, they usually end up being the nicest.

Yeah, I bet. That sounds really nice. I’d love to see some of your pictures sometime. I bet they’re great.

[itsdoctorbaker]

angbaxter​:

No, but I’d bet you’d play an excellent one on television. When I first started experiencing it my pediatrician called it that to help me better understand what was going on. It’s just kind of stuck since then.

You think? Would I be McDreamy or McSteamy on Grey’s Anatomy? Well I’m glad they were able to notice right away and you’ve been able to control it ever since.

[itsdoctorbaker]

laurenfiles​:

Are you saying you’re attracted to me, Dr. Baker?

I just might be, Lauren. Is that alright with you?

[itsdoctorbaker]

griffinmason​:

That’s true. Your job is a lot different than mine, it’d be pretty unprofessional of you to flirt back. I can smell the lawsuit from here. Better places you can meet someone than them being your patient, huh? This ain’t Grey’s Anatomy.

I know right? Considering the way she formulated the whole thing, it wouldn’t surprise me if she was setting me up only to then try and sue me for my money or something. Who knows, people are crazy out there. You’re right, I’m not trying to have my life turn into Grey’s Anatomy. What do you do for work? Do you get hit on often?

[itsdoctorbaker]

milliewatson​:

Oh my God, she actually… There’s people who do that? Like yes, I get it, you’re a handsome man, but hitting on you in your place of work? I’ve had that happen sometimes, people who bring their dogs and have the nerve to ask me out while I’m taking their dog’s temperature with a rectal thermometer, like… No, can’t you see this is an intimate moment between your dog and its doctor? Some people need to learn boundaries. Has it ever happened while you were performing an exam? Like a check up or something?

There is indeed. Oh...wow. Now that’s an interesting time to do it. Nothing like getting asked out while you have something in their pet’s butthole. Thankfully that hasn’t happened to me, I wouldn’t know what to do or how to react. I probably would just ignore them and continue on with my exam. What do you say in that situation?

[itsdoctorbaker]

laurenfiles​:

I have never been described as shy, so I think that’s adorable. I don’t know how long you’ll even tolerate me now. 

You know what they say, opposites attract right? So I think I’ll enjoy being around someone who isn’t as shy. Will make things more fun.

[itsdoctorbaker]

grayshq​:

I get that. It was definitely an inappropriate setting to do it. Yeah, I do. I photograph everything. Red carpets, weddings, baby announcements, the whole lot.

For sure. That’s awesome, man. If any of those big events happen to me, I know who to call. What’s your favorite thing to photograph?
