    I'm with those that said flattered! He sees them all day and if my hooha made him lose his train of thought, that's a feat! :tongue:

    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.”

    OMG!! I have never heard that before. I was dying laughing. My dog kept looking at me like I was crazy!! ;)

    To the OP: I think I would laugh it off and not make a big deal.

    I'd laugh it off, but I'm not easily offended. I can see how it would offend or creep some people out.

    I know this is sposed to be funny, but I think a lot of people fail to remember that doctors are human too. We all have "wtf was I doing" moments.

    I don't understand the people who are saying "Well she should be flattered!" Hell no she shouldn't. If she(or you!) wants to laugh it off, that's her right. But I would immediately ended the appointment, found a new GYN, and reported him to my insurance for what I feel is inappropriate behavior. Then again, I absolutely refuse to have any male doctors.

    Sorry ladies - I know quite a few gynae consultants and the one thing they all have in common is the reason why, from all the specialisms they could choose (ophthalmology to orthopaedics to A&E), they chose Gynae! They love their work!

    I would probably go back. If I was "memorable" or there was another reaction then I would probably look for another dr.

    I love the glitter in the washcloth story. It's hilarious.

    Agreed. Why assume the worst?

    Wow...isn't 'reporting him to the insurance company" a bit extreme? And it also sounds a bit self-involved to think him losing his train of thought actually had to do with the special powers of her shaved lady parts? C'mon people...these guys look at them ALL DAY LONG. I highly doubt it had anything to do with her shaving skills...

    As for the male-only doctor opinion...a lot of women feel that way (which is fine), but are you assuming your doctor couldn't possibly ever be a lesbian then?

    He sees those things everyday - so hers must have been special.

    That's what i would do. I had a doc that was giving me an exam and said "so, what religion are you?" I had to stop for a sec and think "Do different beliefs have different vaginas???" I just answered.."Umm, im sorry, what?" And he said, "oh, i was just making conversation" . LOL, I also had one tell me (a woman this time) "you have a BEAUTIFUL cervix" ...LOL, thanks i guess.

    I probably would've come back with something like, "yeah that happens to me too whenever I see a bald cat"...but then, I'm weird, LOL! :laugh:

    Yes. Assume the worst, jump to conclusions, and contribute to what has made doctors' fees so high: frivolous lawsuits and the outrageous amounts that docs have to pay to protect themselves from them. :huh:

    Ummm...I don't really understand your statement. His loss of thought could of been from a number of things...it doesn't necessariliy mean that he was distracted by her pheonominal PuCat. I think you're being a bit harsh...I mean seriously...are you the lady at work that is filing sexual harrasment charges because some guy compliments your shirt???? He didn't sexually assault her in any way! We've all done things at work at one point or another that was embarrassing...in fact...once I walked all the way down the hallway with my skirt tucked into my panties...but I wasn't sexually assaulting anyone and that's waaaay more inappropriate than a doctor losing his train of thought.

    Did I say I was going to file a lawsuit? No. I said I would file a complaint with my insurance company. Just so they were aware he behaved in an inappropriate manner and there is something on file.

    You would be totally right if there were reason to believe that there was something sexual going on. But I just don't see it. It's funny because that's the initial reaction someone might have, but to really believe it you'd have to have a very high opinion of yourself...

    I actually had the cervix thing happen to me! She said that it was perfectly placed (cause some women's cervix's go straight back or some at an angle...we are all different). Then she said...its really a beautiful location! :laugh:

    See it's people like you who have turned US healthcare into what it is. Doctors constantly living in fear of having a frivolous complaint/lawsuit slapped on them, because you took offense to something that is clearly innocent, hence, my original comment...
