OMG you're gonna be a doctor?!?!?!??!

[PrincessFiona]

Lol. Omg. My monthly book club is with ob-gyns. Seriously, they sometimes horrify me. 2 of them have seen me naked lol and my neighbor (who is also in the group and who is a gyn) actually dropped her trousers to show me her suprapubic catheter.

Me:uh. You know I'm not a doctor, right?
Her: yah. I guess that's kind of awkward.
Me: Well, at least we know each other really, really well now.

Bwaaahaaahaaaa!




That totally beats DH adjusting people at my sister's annual drunk fest/Christmas party.

Most people we've encountered think that anesthesiologists are some kind of technician. Being a physician doesn't give you a leg up on anyone here. Three of the four owners in our row of townhouses are doctors. The one I Ooh and Aah at is the Alaska pilot next door. He travels everywhere and has so many interesting things to talk about!

This is our situation too. Either everyone we meet is a doctor or people have no clue what radiology really is and just assume he is a tech from those " get your degree in 18 months online ".

Women seemed to be concerned for me bec. my husband stares at vaginas all day.

[diggitydot]

Yeah, he isn't seeing the healthy ones...

[migirl]

Mine spends his days cupping guys' balls and putting his finger up their butts.

Huh. This thread has taken a decidedly odd turn ...

Hahahahaha! Mine is an FP but he does A LOT of women's health. He came home one day and started telling me about how he'd examined his first pair of breasts with silicone implants and how they really did feel more natural than the saline implants, etc etc etc. About halfway into the conversation, it dawned on me that this was a really weird convo to be having with my husband, but it really doesn't bother me at all, LOLLOL.

[diggitydot]

I'm fairly certain that ALL of our conversations are really weird. Comes with the territory. Don't even get me started on some of the ones from med school when he was taking physiology. Weird tropical tribes with funky parasites = really freaky discussions.

OMG Jane! That has got to be the funniest thing you've ever said!

[mommax3]

I can't imagine getting a hooha exam during a dinner party...

J.

That would be one hell of a party...

Heehee, this is so true!!!

There aren't enough pediatric practices in our county to keep up with all the kids around here. When people find out DH is a pediatrician they immediately want to know if he's opening a practice soon. I now say he's in pediatric genetic disorders. Apparently that sounds like it makes a lot of money. Then I point to my '97 CR-V with almost 190K miles and tell them that's our "newer" car. LMAO!

[ladymoreta]

Haha I'm just catching up on this thread, and you guys are cracking me up! We haven't had the "groupie" problem, but a friend asked if he could do her next epidural (before he'd had any OB rotations). He politely declined.

I've had to deal with this a bit -- it's a pain. Depending on the person (and how much I like/respect them (or don't)), I either smile and nod (and roll my eyes in my head) or look at them with big wide eyes and say "He's like a GOD isn't he??"

Luckily my fiance is pretty good-natured and modest (and used to my sarcastic ways).
