Luckily, Doug was not the example of a normal staff member at Sacred Heart (unless, of course, you were trying to exemplify the lawyers). He was... an extreme case of anxiety and just, well, horror in general. So.
Lanugo, though. Lanugo. He could do this...! No, really. He did know things. He was a halfway decent doctor, in all actuality. It was just the remembering things that was half of the issue, and then, you know, carrying out said doctorly tasks. "Lanugo are..." Oh, crap, oh, God, what were lanugo? "They're..."
He took a deep breath, and, all in one, long breath, "Lanugo are downy hair on the body of the fetus and newborn baby it is the first hair to be produced by the fetal hair follicles, usually appearing on the fetus at about five months of gestation it is very fine, soft, and usually unpigmented although lanugo is normally shed before birth around seven or eight months of gestation, it is sometimes present at birth this is not a cause for concern: lanugo will disappear within a few days or weeks of its own accord."
It just kind of came out like a punch, all in one large sentence and, well. He coughed once, at the end, eyes wide and hopeful.
