After having a toe amputated this summer due to bone infection caused by a blister, I was a bit upset to be seeing it for the first time after the surgery. The doctor remembered joking with me previously and commented that now I can get a 10% discount on a pedicure! I was shocked at first, then laughed uncontrollably for a few minutes-glad someone's as nuts as I am!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-27218632403079273172010-09-10T22:16:04.702-04:002010-09-10T22:16:04.702-04:00I hope my post made sense...still drugged up on pe...I hope my post made sense...still drugged up on percocet.

Having hernia surgery at GW (a teaching hospital), there was a never ending stream of residents and med students stopping by to check out my junk and trying their hand at small talk. In my case, I saw their faces as they lifted my gown and got hands on during their examinations. And Lord knows how many people were in the OR surgery. LOL Had a complication in recovery and somewhere out there is a cell phone pic of my bruised and swollen groin area. The recovery nurse joked I was going to be famous. I was not amused. Ended up staying the night and got poked/prodded/stuck with needles every few hours during the night and the residents/med students were still trying to be funny. Anywho all that was to say, you made my day as I trying not to bust a stitch laughing. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-73251455951234731612010-09-10T15:06:36.556-04:002010-09-10T15:06:36.556-04:00Megan - You know, I realized yesterday that I'...Megan - You know, I realized yesterday that I'm not as bothered by the whole thing as I used to be. But you're still just so exposed.<br /><br />lacochran - OK, that's very very upsetting, inappropriate, and unprofessional. Ewww.<br /><br />I think my guy is fine. There was no tone of anything except pleasantness.<br /><br />Lisa - I can totally picture the voice of Oz, the all-powerful Oz. And it's so weird too because all these doctors are kind of like God with everything in their power, plus so many of them are so arrogant. <br /><br />lustyreader - Bizarre. I think for them it's probably just so routine for them. Like, when they were getting ready to do my C-section they were talking about a car accident one of their friends had been in. So why not ask for restaurant recommendations?<br /><br />Wendy - THAT is really funny! Hahahaha!<br /><br />Jessica - I would be so upset. There's just no need. It's creepy and weird. Ugh!<br /><br />A.S. - I know - there are some creepy stories coming out of this. And from what little I know, I'm sure they would get along. :)<br /><br />Lynn - The thing is, I don't even know that I find my hair that personal - it's certainly less personal than my business that he's all up in. It was more about him noticing and saying something nice about my appearance...What it makes me wonder is, maybe I'm not that used to being treated like a whole human being by most doctors - including the female ones???<br /><br />Carla - I feel like, hey, why didn't I think of that? Not to say out loud, but why didn't it occur to me?<br /><br />Kenya - That's something I have never, ever heard. That's really funny.<br /><br />Stevie - Hilarious!<br /><br />kayare - He really made me laugh. I don't even mind the chit chat, I don't think. The tossed salad analogy is super bizarre. Where did he come up with that? Definitely the kind of image that would stick with you.<br /><br />Keenie Beanie - That's hilarious. It seriously never occurred to me. And even if I wanted to say something like that, there's no way I could.<br /><br />cla517 - What a GREAT story! I love her! That is amazing!<br /><br />Cynthia - Hahahahaha!

So, they're chatting away as she's sewing things up down there. He makes the universal man joke. "Put an extra stitch in there for me! Ha Ha!" She never looked up and said "whatever you need, small fry"<br /><br />I actually started applauding!cla517https://www.blogger.com/profile/14825038094929045322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-47176453988090785342010-09-10T14:14:03.798-04:002010-09-10T14:14:03.798-04:00I was relaying this post to my husband, and before...I was relaying this post to my husband, and before I even got to your punchline, he was way ahead of me with the same suggestion.<br /><br />Must be a guy thing.Keenie Beaniehttp://www.keeniebeanie.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-42297874543152977722010-09-10T13:58:40.170-04:002010-09-10T13:58:40.170-04:00That was a perfect come back from Nick!

Once I had to have an in office procedure for a pre cancerous problem. Before my OB began, he put vinegar all over the area. Then he proceeded to tell me it was like we were dressing a tossed salad! I know he was trying to get me to relax..but to this day, every time I make a dressing I think of that moment. You know how some people clean with vinegar? I can't handle that ever since.kayarenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-51917134475456821212010-09-10T13:45:25.852-04:002010-09-10T13:45:25.852-04:00I was thinking the exact same thing! ;-)I was thinking the exact same thing! ;-)Steviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12153149217472000710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-54469989219768150322010-09-10T13:31:23.898-04:002010-09-10T13:31:23.898-04:00My last trip to the gyno, it was a new one, and sh...My last trip to the gyno, it was a new one, and she insterted the speculum and then went "Aaawww!"<br /><br />Not at all what you are expecting in a face to vagina situation.

There's just something weird about it. I had one doc mention my hair during a breast exam and it's all strange, cause wouldn't you like men that are *not* clinically examining your body to notice your hair? I just think hair compliments should not happen in a naked clinical situation.<br /><br />(My gyno doesn't have the table with the stirrups that pull out, it's a chair with stirrups attached at the bottom, and the whole thing tilts back, meaning your legs are up at a 90 degree angle, which completely blocks everything in the room from view. So conversations are SO WEIRD because not only are they between the legs conversations, it's a faceless voice chatting about the weather or whatever, like the Wizard of Oz behind the curtain or something. Awkward.)Lisahttp://seriouslytake2.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-57208345011349554512010-09-10T12:11:41.042-04:002010-09-10T12:11:41.042-04:00Ha!

Chit chat if you must, but get it done with clinical efficiency and let me get on with my life.<br /><br />I once had a gynecologist kiss me. On the mouth. Talk about inappropriate. He felt it was his right since he'd delivered me. I felt it was my right to slug him and report him to the AMA. Sadly, I only expressed my outrage to him. Hopefully, he's dead now. So, um, in perspective, I think your guy's alright.lacochran's evil twinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00830374402474261699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-21768481459216083532010-09-10T12:07:27.189-04:002010-09-10T12:07:27.189-04:00Odd...I went to the gynecologist yesterday too.
