Episode #104B "Calling Dr.Zak"

Challenge: Coping with fear of the doctor

Zak and Wheezie practice dancing around for the Two-Headed Dragon Contest. When Zak loses his balance and steps on a Spineypine, one of the creature's sharp thorns gets embedded in his foot. They all agree -- this is a job for Dr. Booboogone! But Zak isn't so sure. To help ease his fears, the others patiently explain what happens at the doctor's office, show him the cool stickers they receive there, and engage in a fun game of "pretend" doctor.

What I saw:

Zak steps his foot on the thorn of a spineypine, a creature that is similar to a hedgehog. He is afraid to go see "Dr. Boobegone," an old female. The others comfort him to go and try seeing her. Zak finds out that it isn't bad as it seems to be.

Comments:

Quetzal could have removed it himself, but he decided to get Zak acquainted to Dr. Booboogone. Or maybe she has the only pair of tweezers in Dragonland.

Oy, Booboogone's got wrinkles... but that doesn't stop her... I think she should sunbathe more to get that loose skin tightened up, and scrub off those extra scales. Maybe she has some arthritis which prevents her from doing this often. *sigh* I wish those dragons were a bit more social. They look social, but they pretty much keep to themselves. Something must've happened to them some time ago.
