On second thought
December 15, 2007On second thought, the story about the nurse screaming at the woman that she had an STD did not come out as funny as it was in person. I’m thinking it came out more… insensitive. But at the time, sitting in my paper gown in the exam room and listening to this going on outside my door, it was so absurd as to be funny. (Not funny that she had an STD, of course, but that she thought it was a good idea to call the GYN from the car wash, and that the nurse was so flustered as to try to speak up to be heard, rather than tell her to call back.) And, apparently, the memory was enough to get the doctor and me going again several years later. But I can definitely see how this could make me seem bitchy.
Oh I don’t know, I thought it sounded pretty funny. But I put myself in your shoes (gown?) as I read it.
ditto, I got it.
me too. I thought it was hilarious.
Agree with the others … it was plain funny
