LOCATION: appt with gyno-urologist
WHEN: couple of weeks ago
CHIEF COMPLAINT: bladder won't empty, side effect of meds.
REQUEST: made beforehand, MUST HAVE FEMALE DOCTOR!!
UPON APPOINTMENT: in walks female AND male doctor!
COMFORT LEVEL: extreme discomfort and squirming, due to male being in room and me talking about my bladder issues.
NEW DEVELOPMENTS: even more embarrasment when male doc is the one who does the examination...ya know, the one with your feet in the stirrups and the distinct feeling of "wide open spaces"???

HERE'S THE BRAIN FART PART!

the exam is over, i come back down from my desperate search for "my happy place", i'm still scootched down at the end of the table, feet in stirrups, sheet from waist down...he stands up and looks down at me to signal the end of the tests. i notice his lab coat, which has his name on it, and i recognize it as the name of a female doctor who treated me several years ago...

i blurt out:

"ARE YOU MARRIED??"

...as it's coming out of my mouth, i can hear myself saying it, so it actually came out...

"are you marriedohmygodthatsoundedincrediblyinappropriate....what i mean is that i recognize your last name as the same name of a doctor who treated me several years ago"

he smiled and confirmed it... but i imagine he told his wife that night about this spastic woman who tried picking him up before he even had his gloves off!!!

sometimes, when you're this stupid, you just have to tell people about it.

OMG!!!

That's priceless.....Just remember...doctors have seen/heard it all. I'm sure it didn't phase him.

Just try to look back and laugh.

you know that scene in "liar liar" where jim carey can't believe he said that comment to his boss after sex, and he just keeps repeating the comment, incredulously shaking his head, and grinning????

that's been me for the last two weeks!

Oh my God that's hilarious! You poor thing.........you have that same "disorder" I do. You know the one.........."I can't control what's coming out of my mouth sometimes" disorder.

I do things like that a lot more then I mean to. Don't laugh I've heard that it's a vitamin deficiency.........I think vitamin B.

I only go to female doctors now too, even at my age I'm just more comfortable with them. Besides they can relate to woman problems more then males can, I mean they are going through it too. I just find them more sympathetic to us.

Oh gosh, that would have been embarrassing! Look on the bright side, might not have been the first time he was asked that question! LOL!

LOL! Thanks for the laugh. I can see myself (later this afternoon) at my own "stirrup" appt, trying to find my happy place and I'll think of you and break out into laughter.... wonder what my gyni will think?!?!

Ok......how about this one? Went for my pap. At the time, I had questionable paps so I was referred to the local military hospital here. If anyone here is military, you know you pretty much get who you get. Went in the room, hoped for a woman, got a young looking officer. Did the pap, went home, got ready to go out ( it was a friday), go to the local club, look up......there he is a few table down from me. Looks at me.........looks.........I look....downnnnnnnnnnn....he looks away and smiles. Just.......great...wonderful....thanks...ruined my evening......

Hey, at least there were just a couple of winesses. Most of my faux pas are on Facebook, and are out there for the world to see!

I guess it's better than farting (Tooting as my kids would say) while he is examining you!!!

Cakepro alright I'll ask. How do you know this?
Jen...

that musta been some magic hands, cause I NEVER feel like laughing when i'm introduced to that speculum!!

Open Mouth: Insert Foot

And I thought I was the only one with that disease!

Thank you for the laugh! I tell you I would die if I any of that happened to me.

OMG with this stupid flu I needed the laughs! especially the speculum/rocket comment. OMG I'm dying laughing HAHAHAHAH

LOL...the poor guy...I would die thinking what he must think of me!!! Eecks!
