Conforming Bull


            Bull is a conformist. He has an innate fear of feeling abnormal, of not being accepted into his society and being stigmatized. His initial anxiety stems from his lack of knowledge regarding the aperture behind his left knee, a vagina, and the abnormality that comes with a mysterious injury. However, once has undergone the ‘appropriate treatment’ following his appointment with Dr. Margoulies, he feels ‘almost normal again’. To emphasize his tendency to be more at ease in socially common situations, Bull is comforted when Margoulies sets himself behind his desk, writes medical gibberish on a piece of paper whilst ignoring him, Bull. This is how Bull perceives doctors should act around their patients, supposedly having watched medical soap operas, as opposed to Margoulies intricate examination of his ‘wound’. It isn’t surprising that Bull is a journalist for Get Off!, a pop culture magazine that is at the pinnacle of culture trend coverage.
