Embarrassing Experiences!
I need cheering up after thinking about how our trials with docs can be really draining because sometimes it is such hard going. But when I look back there have been some very funny times too, so I wanted to ask "What is the most embarrassing experience you have had with a doc? Mine is was when I was so worried about taking too long with my appointments because I talk too much, wanting to make sure that I don't miss anything out, so much so that I swear my Doc cringes when the door opens and I come in. Anyhow a couple of weeks ago, I thought this time I'll get straight to the point and impress him with my new contolled self. So I sat down and the first words out of my mouth were: "I'm just here for a quickie!" I lie not! Well, what can I say, there was utter silence and a lot of bright red faces!
A rib bone! That is classic me! I keep poking and proding and I feel like all of my parts have extras!
This has nothing to do with my thyroid, but years ago when I was young and just starting to do my monthly breast exams, I felt this really hard lump deep in my left breast. Right to the gynecologist I went in a panic and was diagnosed with a rib bone.
how about this for embarring moments and i cant even blame the thyroid.
i was walking round the supermarket about a year ago and my husband said to me whats that hanging out of your jeans as i looked behind me i found the leg of a pair of tights trailing along behind me (i had taken the jeans and tights off the night before in one go and the following morning had forgot to pull the tights out) well i could have died as in a supermarket full of people i had to try and tuck it back up. and with a laughing husband following me all i could do was cringe.

Thanks everyone for adding your funny bits it's really cheered me up. And after reading Cheryl's embarrassing moment I just remembered another. I'd gone for day surgery and can vaguely remember the doc coming & taking several attempts to wake me up after the pre-med and anaesthetic, to tell me I could go home. At some point later, I came round from the little muzzy world I was in to hear the raised voice of my friend who had come to pick me up. She was running down the ward towards me shouting:"Stop Rite". And I thought, what's her problem and just carried on standing there whilst I searched for my clothes. When she arrived at my bedside and started tugging on the curtains at my bed, it finally dawned on me that I had actually removed my theatre gown and had failed to draw the curtains round my bed whilst I got changed and I was standing starkers in a ward full of men and women! I cannot tell you how I felt when after waiting for a half hour for the drugs to wear off, I had to pull back those curtains and face all those guys.
this is too funny!! I sure did need a big laugh.
Rite, thanks for starting this! It has made all of us feel better!! laughter is the best medicine....

Fell out of my chair in histarics (this would be easier to describe if I could spell histarics - LOL) :) OMG I needed a laugh! I have had no funnies with the docs, so cannot add!
Ha! Ha! I love to laugh.
My mother would go to these drs in Fl. and they would seem to be able to do several things at once. So when I was on the phone once with my surgeon and he was talking about having to put off my gallbladder surgery in order to do a parathyroid/thyroidectomy, I said, “Well, can’t you do it all at the same time?” I am quite embarrassed when I think of the suppressed chuckle I heard coming from the other end of the line at that one.

i went to my doctors to complain about my symptoms that i still have mainly memory problems and brain fog, after testing me for alzheimers and that being ok i went to go only for him to call me back and tell me i had left my handbag on the chair needless to say i got my endo referal
When I had a nervous breakdown and was being wheeled along, on a guerney by an orderly, I said,"You must get tired of people looking up your nose" I blame the valium I was on...sigh........
ROTFLOL ....................that made my day!

I wouldn't mind, but I don't know who was more shocked - him or me! He ain't bad looking either! Maybe I should've pushed on with the idea! LOL
Ok ready for this......
I had a very small bump on my collarbone for months. I picked and squeezed the little bugger and it never went away. When I was so ill with the swelling of my neck this bump was worrying me.
Well when I got really sick a while back - thyroid wise and had that pap cancer scare I was in complete belief I had cancer and was going to die.
The doctor and I argued at my appt about it - He grabbed a needle and popped it.
It - my friend - was a zit.
DUH-oooo ~!
