Ladies - If a doc said this to you...

Another oldie but goodie we can all relate to!
I was due for an appointment with the gynecologist late in the week.
Early one morning, I received a call from the doctor’s office to tell me that I had been rescheduled for that morning at 9:30 am. I had only just packed everyone off to work and school, and it was already around 8:45 am.
The trip to his office took about thirty-five minutes, so I didn’t have an time to spare. As most women do, I like to take a little extra effort over hygiene when making such visits, but this time I wasn’t going to be able to make the full effort. So, I rushed upstairs, threw off my pajamas, wet the washcloth that was sitting next to the sink, and gave myself a quick wash in that area to make sure I was at least presentable.
I threw the washcloth in the clothes basket, grabbed some clothes, hopped in the car and raced to my appointment.
I was in the waiting room for only a few minutes when I was called in. Knowing the procedure, as I’m sure you do, I hopped up on the table, looked over at the other side of the room and pretended that I was in Paris or some other place a million miles away.
I was a little surprised when the doctor said, “My, we have made an extra effort this morning, haven’t we?” I didn’t respond.
After the appointment, I heaved a sigh of relief and went home.
The rest of the day was normal: some shopping, cleaning, cooking, etc. After school when my six year old daughter was playing, she called out from the bathroom, “Mommy, where’s my washcloth?” I told her to get another one from the cupboard.
She replied, “No, I need the one that was here by the sink, it had all my glitter and sparkles saved inside it.”

So, the Va jay jay got accidentally Vajazzled!!!! OH that is FUNNY!0 -
Mine said to me: "did that hurt???" I had a piercing at the time. We laughed about it. :laugh:0

:happy: priceless0

I'd be flattered!
He sees those things everyday - so hers must have been special.0 -
I figure he's seen one, he's seen them all. But when I was 18 and had just graduated from medical assisting school, I went to see a guy twice about 2 months apart. The first time I was a new patient. The second time, he walked in a few seconds before the nurse, and KISSED ME briefly ON THE MOUTH! He said hello and kissed me like it was the most natural thing in the world. I was shocked and baffled. The nurse came in right after. He did the exam and everything proceeded normally. Then I left and paid. He was foreign..European foreign, I don't know where from exactly and I thought maybe it was a cultural thing. But later I put a stop payment on the check. I figured he had been paid before hand. A couple weeks later he called and offered me a job as his back office nurse. I was newly trained and at that time 800.00 a month would have been a pretty generous offer. I was making about 700.00 where I was working at the time. He offered me 1200 a month! I turned it down. I had no desire to be chased around the exam table on a regular basis. He was fat and probably in his late 30's. Yuck.0

Oh MY!!! ROFLMAO!!! I really needed that giggle!! Thx!!!
HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
Regardless if you personally feel like you could laugh it off, there is absolutely NO reason to berate another woman for feeling nervous and wanting to go elsewhere. A woman's sexual health is of utmost importance and in a time where we are constantly fighting to get the basic care we need a woman should always feel safe and happy with her doctors. If for any reason she does not feel safe and comfortable and happy with the person in care of her body she has every prerogative to seek medical care elsewhere. No one has a right to tell a woman that her discomfort is not valid, that her fears are petty and unsubstantiated, because every woman out there deserves and should feel at ease with her physician, gynecologist, or sexual wellness doctor .
What you may be comfortable with, others may not be. That does not make them wrong. That does make you right. It doesn't make them right. It doesn't make you wrong. But we cannot tell other women what they should and should not feel safe and comfortable with. That simply isn't a right any of us have and shouldn't even be brought up.
The bottom line of the matter is this, each woman should seek out the medical environment in which she feel's happy and safest in.
It doesn't make you wrong to feel uncomfortable and to switch doctors because of it. It makes you wrong when you take that discomfort and blow it out of proportion or just general reality and make wild assumptions that you'll use to either go after the doctor legally or base your opinion on every doctor in that field and that gender. It's not fair when your discomfort is used as a weapon against someone innocent in the matter. It would be like me trying to get my Uncle arrested because he looked at me and my own discomfort based on my phobia of men tells me he secretly wants to rape me. If the person making you uncomfortable is genuinely doing something wrong then yes report them. You're right in saying that no one should be berated for feeling uncomfortable where others might not, but again there's a difference between being uncomfortable and being outright irrational/hysterical and then taking it out on the other person just because it violated your comfort level and nothing else.0 -
Well I guess it's better than being a guy and having the Doc ask "Is it cold in here?" when you take your pants off!
HYSTERICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
Would you agree, though, that it would be best to say something, and clear things up, rather than going off half-cocked and trying to ruin the doc's career based on what was likely a misunderstanding? How will that help?No one has a right to tell a woman that her discomfort is not valid, that her fears are petty and unsubstantiated, because every woman out there deserves and should feel at ease with her physician, gynecologist, or sexual wellness doctor .0 -

If it were my doctor, I'd laugh and joke with him. Then again, I've been with my doctor for many years & I've got a great repoire with him. In fact, I have a girl friend who goes to him too & she tells him she tidies up for him. :laugh: I would say, however, it depends on the doctor. If you get a creepy & uncomfortable feeling, then leave. There are plenty of doctors, male and female, to choose from.
I have to agree. My OB/GYN jokes with me all the time and it's nothing sexual. I've been going since I was 16. I went for what I thought was a consult, he decided I needed an exam. So we argued a bit about it until I agreed, then he turned to his nurse and said "she's always hard to get out of her pants, but pretty co-operative once you get them off". Now he knows me and knows I would think this is funny, I doubt he would say something like that in front of most of his patients. He's a real person, with a real sense of humor and that is why I love him and would never switch.0 -
...and when I was pregnant with my second I went to the ER and had a med student working on my case. He had just gotten into the residency I guess and hadn't seen a whole lot of people. He tried to find my cervix and couldn't so a doctor found it and then told him where it was. The student asked if he could try again to find it and I said sure. Hey, it's for education. I had no inkling in my mind that he was trying to get frisky. He doesn't have a cervix, he has to practice on real women and I wasn't gonna shut him down!0
-
My GYN said, "Wow, you're really starting to fill out there, aren't you?" Talking about my breasts. I had recently become pregnant and it was my first exam. I felt a tad embarrassed, but it was the truth!0
-
This is not true and incredibly insulting to the male gynos. My gyno is a male, not creepy in the least and is the best doctor I've ever had.0

OMG! thisis hilarious!
I hope you submitted this to like a Parent magazine0 -
I'd probably giggle which would lead to a chuckle which would result in inadvertent farts and queefs in the Dr's face.0
-
I'd laugh it off...and give him something back that was embarrassing to him... Every year I give mine the same joke...."why did the "hor~mone...cause she didn't get paid":laugh: After all these years ya'd think he'd finally get it~
0 -
Is it bad that that kind of excited me?I'd probably giggle which would lead to a chuckle which would result in inadvertent farts and queefs in the Dr's face.0 -
I had a GYN say to me -
"Okay, lets take a look at it ( goes in ) Or, whats left of it"
lol
OMG! I am cracking up! That's too funny!0 -
Yep the glitter story was a good one. Thanks for the laugh.0

This is not true and incredibly insulting to the male gynos. My gyno is a male, not creepy in the least and is the best doctor I've ever had.
One of the best midwives I ever had was male too.0 -
He sees vaginas all day...so if mine rendered him speachless, I'd consider it a compliment because mine is beautiful!
0 -
Eh, unless he said it reallllly creepily or was obviously trying to be flirty, I'd just let it go. Doctors work long days and see a lot of patients, I think its totally acceptable to blank out for a moment in that situation.0

That was funny! Sounds like something my little girl would do!0 -
Ugh - I had an awkward experience with a doctor a couple months ago. Still cringe about it.
It was at a Doc in the box because I'm cheap and it was for cleaning ears. You would think NOTHING dirty would come out of that but this doctor managed to make a comment.
The nurse kept spilling water on my neck which would of course go down my shirt. And the doctor for SOME REASON had to make the comment, "Soggy boobies?"
It was SOOOOOOOOO weird. I'm not sure how to take it. but I kinda laughed it off.
This is hilarious and TERRIBLE. Hilarious because it's so terrible?! ;x0 -
Wouldn't that make him a midhusband?This is not true and incredibly insulting to the male gynos. My gyno is a male, not creepy in the least and is the best doctor I've ever had.

This is why I go to a female!0
