    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.”

    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.

    ...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!

    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!

    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.

    I'd probably giggle which would lead to a chuckle which would result in inadvertent farts and queefs in the Dr's face.

    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.

    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?! ;x
