For some strange reason that I cannot figure out, people will show or tell their friends or acquaintances about the most disgusting stuff that happens to their bodies. At least I can tell people to stop it because I'm grossed out -- and I do. It's almost like some kind of badge of honor. <br /><br />I guess those in the medical field have to put up with it even if it's not necessary to the reason for their visit.<br /><br />Well, at least I had lunch before reading this :)bbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05060373657650063777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-14916218165882401602010-02-22T16:14:24.006-05:002010-02-22T16:14:24.006-05:00Ew.Ew.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07842890893365738906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-71875524070160371832010-02-22T16:04:56.048-05:002010-02-22T16:04:56.048-05:00A patient one day came in with a large shopping ba...A patient one day came in with a large shopping bag. "I have something I want the doctor and you to look at " she said. I shuddered as I sat her down and took her vitals.<br />She pulls out her bottom bed sheet and points to a variety of splotches on it "This is what my vaginal discharge looks like" she said next. I said,"Well, a good thing you brought your VAGINA with you today, because that's what we really need to check out. hee hee"<br />She looked at me blankly...or should I say, blankety. heh.<br />Oh well, that was still nothing compared to what people showed up with in JARS.
