Funny experiance.

Yesterday I had to got to the Dr, I had an ear infection, and I had a funny experience I wanted to share. Tell me what you think, I laughed about it all day.

So, I get to the Dr.'s office and sign in, grab a magazine, prepared to wait. I just got to the second page of a very old issue of Parenting magazine and I hear "Mary Mann?" I pick my stuff up and head to the nurses door. A young girl, blond hair, and cute scrubs on is standing there. " Wow, that was fast" I exclaimed. With out cracking a smile , or showing any emotion what so ever, she motions me in the right direction. " step on the scale" I watch the number pop up on the digital display, a number I am NEVER happy about, she writes the number down, disgusted, I look to her for further direction. She is smacking her gum in rhythm of the soft music playing over head. "smack, smack. "Have seat she says, she stuffs my arm into the automatic blood pressure cuff ( I feel a little jipped, can she not figure out how to take blood pressure?? I can even do that) as the machine squeezes my arm, until it turns purple, she stuffs a thermometer in my mouth and clipps a blood oxometer onto my finger. "Smack.. Smack, smacksmacksmack POP!! Yep, she did, she popped her gum! She whips the thermometer out of my mouth and ripps the bp cuff off my arm and still...she has not addressed me further than the initial "Mary Mann?"

"When was the first day of your last period"? she askes me " A year ago March, so March 2007" (I know , i still have not had a period) she glances at the chart and sees that I was recently in about 6 weeks ago for a sinus infection. "smack... smack, smacksmack, It says up here that you had a period in March 08, smack smack" "oh, well, it must be a miss print" I said. LONG PAUSE, smack smack, "are you sure you didn't have a period in March"? I looked at her and I couldn't help but to kind of laugh, uhh, really sure" I replied. " I had a baby so that's why I haven't had a period" thinking maybe this will help clear things up. She still looked doubtful of my recollection of my last menstrual period! WTF??? As if I was lieing to her about it, Ok, let me just make sure, did she ask me if I snort cocaine? Or had a menstrual period this year, should we get Springfield's finest in to do a lie detector test, and cross examine me?? LOL

"OHHH she exclaimed!" smack smack, motioning for me to follow her down the hall, what was it? she asked. It is a girl I replied "second door on the right she directed" I am putting my purse down and she asks me "did you name her?" OK, I'm sure she said "WHAT did you name her" but I only heard did you name her and I can hear fine, I only have a sore ear, its not all stuffy or anything... I was stumbling over by reply as my brain was trying to figure what she said. "um, what did I name her? Avery Kathryn. Pause PAUSE, smack smack, PAUSE.........

" I like Kathryn" she says. I wanted to bust out laughing! She said "the Dr will be in in a moment." I was just laying there on the exam table chuckling when I heard her make a phone call , her desk was right outside my exam room" hi, miss rich, I'm just callin' to tell you your blood pressure is under control" Smack smack.

It was just one of those time where I could just see this happening outside of my body. It really made me laugh! Some people should not be a nurse!! LOL! My ear is all better BTW, i had otitis externa (swimmers ear) Smooch Smooch, smack, smack! -K
