Dr. Seibel, the singing gynecologist

[Sheherezade]

Today we received a package in the mail from a drug company. In it, there were samples of a new product for bacterial vaginosis and....

a singing bobblehead doll of a man called Dr. Seibel!!!!

The bobble-head doll is dressed as a doctor, holds a guitar and sings a song about bacterial vaginosis to the tune of "What a day for a daydream". Must share some of the lyrics:


If you have an itch inside at night,
and an odor that's not quite right
you might think that yeast is what it might be
but 2 out of 3 of you have BV.....



If that ain't a mood makeover, I don't know what is. DH and I are fighting over whether the doll stays at home or goes to the office.

Any other GYN spouse out there get one?

We love our ironic Viagra clock that sits on our nightstand, but that is way, way better!

OMG, that is so funny. I think you need one for home and work. On a night out for dinner during DH's ob/gyn rotation with another med student on the same rotation, we ordered a bottle of wine from a Beaulieu Vineyard.....which uses the initials BV prominently in the logo. There was a lot of snickering. . Maybe the drug rep should send out some bottles of that, too!

That is the funniest thing I've heard in eons. I'm wracking my brain to figure out how to get one.

BTW: It came to the house - it stays at the house. The office will probably get 5 of it's own!

Turns out he has a web site. You can hear my vaginitis tune here.

It isn't the same without the bobblehead doll, though.

I particularly enjoyed the incontinence ditty as well. Funky Labor was downright groovy.

I'll be sharing that link with all of the women in my life.

That's hysterical. I want to see if our OB/GYN friends can get us one. DH would love it.

I have got to show this to DH. He is not on all of the "lists" yet, since he was military and was forbidden from taking stuff from the drug companies during that time.

The funny thing is that techically, DH IS a singing gynecologist, since he was a music major as an undergraduate.

He is going to want one of these dolls SOOOOO bad.

Sally,
After the lyrics above, I think that is the funniest thing I have heard all day. Because all I can picture is your husband walking around an office singing that song.

Nellie,

I sent him the link at his office. Trust me, after he hears the song, he will be singing it constantly, although probably in his head. (I hope! Way to build a pratice, if he sings it out loud! )

There is a song off the soundtrack of "Wicked" that has a midwife character singing "It's coming! The baby's coming!" when the Wicked Witch is born, and he has told me that it runs through his head whenever he is doing a delivery and he is afraid that sometime if he is extra tired, he may start singing it under his breath.

So I KNOW he is going to get this stuck in his head.

Sally

Maybe this is his niche, Sally! He can be known as the signing ob/gyn....terrific bedside manner coupled with lively song and dance adds up to a rollicking good time!

Speaking of Wicked....have you seen it?

[mommax3]

No, we haven't seen it, but would love to.....my sister got to see it in NYC (she lives there) with the original leads and I am SO jealous of her. There is a Chicago-based production now with Ana Gasteyer (of SNL fame) playing Elphaba (the wicked witch) and DH is determined to see it.....his bday is in September, so I am thinking we will try to go around then.

We (even the kids) have totally memorized the cd and have the piano music to it......I read the book it was based on, and I have to admit that I enjoy the watered-down story of the musical much better! (Does that make me shallow?) I liked the novelist's (Gregory Maguire?) version of Cinderella much better, though.....maybe because it wasn't so fantastical.
