I totally hide my underwear! I obsess about all the things I might have forgotten – mostly, I worry that my feet stink. Is that really really weird? I usually come to the doctors office from work and am wearing “work shoes” with no pantyhose (I live in TX)…I have always felt my feet have an odor, so when I get all stirupped up, I worry that my feet are so close to his head (never mind his actual face and hands are in my business) – I will usually take socks to put on and try to wash my feet in the little bathroom that is attached to the exam room.

this post (and some of the other comments) are laugh-out-loud funny!!!
i also neatly fold my clothes and make sure my underthings are tucked away.
as for having nothing to read, at least in my doctor’s office there are a bunch of pictures to look at… babies/kids my doc delivered, hospital pics with the doc, family pics, stuff like that. i wonder how people would feel if they stopped to think about how often their pictures were looked at by obsessing, nearly naked women.

I typed that really fast…

*I meant that I never realized how hiding my underwear and bra is kind of weird and

*soer = sore.

Sorry. :)

Hey, I haven’t posted on here in awhile… but I finally got myself back up to date on all your blogs!!

I loved this post, mainly because I can relate to it completely. I never even considered the fact that I hide my clothes weird.. but it is a little odd, now that I think about it. I also never understood the point of the gowns that open in the front. Why does it matter? They’re gonna see everything anyway…

My last annual exam was in December… and the nurse set out an expired test tube for my pap smear sample. The gyno didn’t realize it was expired until AFTER she had taken a sample of the tissue. So I had to get two pap smears. The (this is really gross — so anyone with a weak stomach should read no further!) gyno did the second one rather quickly — I think because she was embarrassed that she had to do two (and it was starting to get soer by this point), and as I sat up, I noticed that blood .. or .. fluids or SOMETHING of mine had gotten on the floor. GROSS!! *shudder*

But anyway, thanks for being able to see the humor in awkward situations such as these. :)

I think every male who just read that is GLAD they don’t have girl parts……

Yes. I fold my underpinnings up neatly under my discarded clothes.

But I gotta’ say – having BOOBS for the first time ever made my last exam tolerable.

I was a little…….. proud.

Hiding the undergarments — check!
Look at everything in the room — check!
Always end up waiting forEVER while half naked — check!

Why is that? I’d rather wait in the waiting room with my book or a magazine than naked on the table with nothing. Have a heart, doctors!

Priceless post, Darcie! Like your other readers, I can relate. And I’ve made a mental note to bring my own reading material to my next appt just in case…. :)
