More Ventrogluteal Fun
embarrassing July 3rd, 2008
Yeah. So remember what happened to me the last time I went to the doctor for my injection? The time the nurse used my butt as a table?
Today I had another appointment.
The good news is that I didn’t get Nurse Ratched again. The bad news is people got a free show in Exam Room #5.
When I entered the room, the nurse asked me to sit on the exam table while she prepared the syringe. We had a pleasant conversation about holiday plans for the weekend and how the weather might turn nasty.
I heard other people chatting it up out in the hallway through the open door. Hmmm, wonder when she’s gonna shut the door.
She asked me to get in position, which means pants down, knee bent, lean towards the table. I complied. Hmmm, wonder when she’s gonna shut the door.
The nurse walked over behind me and warned me it would stick a little, but not bad if I didn’t tense my legs. Hmmm, wonder when she’s gonna shut the door.
Voices from the outside continued to waft through the hall and into the room. STICK! OUCH! You’re done!
Guess she wasn’t gonna shut the door.
Thanks. Hope everybody got a nice eyeful.

So what’s the big deal if the other patients see some furniture?

Just when you thought you’d seen it all! Sorry – I couldn’t resist 🙂 BUTT as my husband would say, “if you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all.” Ouch. I’m sorry again. What’s wrong with me today? I’m usually quite nice 🙂
July 3rd, 2008 at 4:49 pm
Oh my Cod! I think that office is a little… behind… on proper privacy protocol.

Oh, dear. We women go to such lengths to disguise, cover up, minimize our butts, then something like this happens.
(And Mama O, your husband hasn’t seen MY butt, or he’d change his tune!)

How did I know that you’d have another hilarious post from this? Reminds me of an even worse situation I was in, but I don’t think this is the place to discuss it. And somebody did walk in, and I knew the person!

o my you really have problems with your doctor and your ventrogluteal site
July 3rd, 2008 at 7:49 pm
C’mon, Kathy. Look at the bright side. Oh, wait, you were turned the other way…
Never mind.

Since you are a strong, intelligent woman – why the He!! didn’t you ask the person – Would you please close the effing door????????
I’m just so disappointed you didn’t man-up and deal with this.
Usually you are a hero but geez louise – you could have easily resolved this one.
Sorry – I’m really not a hater.
July 3rd, 2008 at 9:09 pm
Oh, wow. I wouldn’t do ANYTHING for her until she closed that door. But I’d be subtle about it and say something like ‘Um, are you going to close that door any time soon? Maybe in the next 5 years?’
July 3rd, 2008 at 10:08 pm
I think I would at the very least have a heart to heart chat with the doctor. You might want to invite him to a furniture store so that you can show him what a table looks like and how your rear end is not one nor is it up for public viewing (unless you get a percentage of the gate).
This reminds me of the time I had a hernia operation in South Korea. I will post that story on my blog in the near future.

em-BARE-ASS-ing is right! While this will in no way make up for it, based on a conversation that happened over at JD’s a LONG time ago, I have finally gotten around to creating my ‘Honourary Canucklehead’ award and you are one of the chosen few. Of course, as a winner you are also hereby granted the power to bestow the title upon others – I ask only for a rudimentary knowledge of NHL hockey and maybe a little Beachcombers. Well, I’ flexible – anyway, you can pick up your award here: (pants optional)

Cheers!

Hi, you won an award, pop in and grab it..pleeaasse..Thank you
July 3rd, 2008 at 11:41 pm
Hey Kathy, that dr office must hire all the misfits! The “not quite right” nurses! Seconds or irregulars! Flawed!
btw, is this office located in a factory outlet mall?

Jeff — Because my furniture is old and saggy?
Mama O — True, and I suppose it’s not an issue because anyone catching a peek never saw my face 🙂
Daisy the Curly Cat — “Oh my Cod” Daisy, you’re so funny! I’m guessing they see so many butts, they don’t think of it as a big deal. Trust me. It’s a BIG deal.
JD at I Do Things — I think I’m going to affix a smiley face on it next time. If it’s going to be seen by the general public, I need to dress it up.
Babs beetle — Ugh. That’s like walking in on someone in the bathroom. How mortifying! Oh, and this is totally the place to discuss it.
brooke — Yes, and had it happened to someone else I would have laughed my ventrogluteal site off!
Don — Yeah, the bright, shining, have a good look see side!
Jenny — Unless it had insurance forms and releases stapled to it, I guess they didn’t care about HIPAA. Geez.
Daniel — I assumed when she got closer to me to administer the injection — closer to the door — that she’d kick it closed with her foot or something. I’m not so good speaking up for myself. Sorry to let you down!
Regan — You’re absolutely right. Next time, I’ll close the door myself before the pants come down! I trust no one to do it for me!
Rattln Along — Yes, if this is going to happen again, I might as well charge admission. There’s another income stream I hadn’t considered. Hernia operation? Oh, do tell!
Mama O — I knew it would still be there by now. I promised Rattln Along I’d update the picture, although it looks much the same as the day of stuckage.
Canucklehead — The badge makes up for my humiliation today. Gifts and sympathy always do the trick! Thanks for thinking of me in my time of need.
Dani — Thanks for the honor! You put me in such good company!
darla — I don’t really like this office. My doc moved from a smaller practice to a much larger one, where patients are shuttled like cattle to a sea of exam rooms. I’m always worried I’ll get lost trying to find my way out. Hmmm, maybe it’s time for a change.
DrowseyMonkey — I’m glad my ass table brings joy to others! There is one nurse who I really like, very personable and she doesn’t rush me. But I don’t always get the same one. Apparently I’m striking out on the good ones.
Ulquiorra — (I think I’m finally able to spell your name without looking now!) — I would have died if someone stepped in and busted a gut laughing. Honestly, that would have been the “end” of it.
July 4th, 2008 at 9:18 am
Maybe having the door closed isn’t covered by your insurance…. Next time, put a post-it near your injection site asking for more privacy.
July 4th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
With so many folks with camera phones, I’ll be googling, “guess what I say at the doctor’s office” for the next few weeks.
🙂
Joe’s last blog post..Happy 4th of July
July 4th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
D’oh. I was so excited about googling that, it should have said “what I saw at the doctor’s office.”
🙂
Joe’s last blog post..Happy 4th of July
July 4th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
Good heavens!! Yeah, I think I’d have said something to her, but she really shouldn’t have needed telling, should she? Yikes! Yeah, go have a talk with the doc, or the practice manager or whatever.
*Runs off to Google … *
ROFL!
Jay’s last blog post..Miss July
July 4th, 2008 at 6:54 pm
ann of the shampoo bag — How ’bout “Close the door when this one’s open. Thank you.”
Joe — Oh no! Not my butt on the internet!!! Wait. It’d be anonymous, so I guess I’m OK with that. Plus, I can deny it.
Jay — I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt that she forgot. Next time, though, I’m totally speaking up! Now stop Googling my butt!
July 4th, 2008 at 7:44 pm
As a nurse, that totally ticks me off!!!!! SHE SHOULD HAVE CLOSED THE DOOR!!! NO EXCUSES!!!

Ulquiorra isn’t my name, it’s the name of a fictional character who resembles me (and whom I somewhat idolize). The true spelling would be Uruquiorra, but it’d be pronounced Ulquiorra anyway. 😛
If I was in your shoes, and someone did step in laughing, I would probably make a bad joke like “This is not all it’s cracked up to be”, or “Hey, I’m the one cracking up here”. Yes, it’s sad.

July 5th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
KFJ — I thought I’d get a reflex response of shutting the door, once she was about to administer. But I didn’t. You’re right. No excuse. If there is a next time, I’m speaking up!
Ferd — Oh, joy. Now YouTube!
Maureen — I actually did Google “Kathy Frederick butt” and out popped a couple of my blog posts. No surprise there! I know, what’s next now? Exams on closed-circuit TV?
Lori — Maybe, just maybe not. I’m going with a lousy doctor’s office!
ken armstrong — Welcome aboard. Smart ass of yours!
Ulquiorra — Oh, no. Don’t make me try to pronounce it! Thanks for the backstory. I was trying to work in a “cracked up” reference, but you beat me to it. How ’bout “If they offend me again, I won’t turn the other cheek?” Yeah. Lame.
July 5th, 2008 at 1:07 pm
Wow. Maybe you need to find another doctor to go to! That is really something else, but hey, it made it a funny story to tell. Hope when you go back in you don’t here comments about your “cute butt” or something. That would be totally embarrassing.
July 5th, 2008 at 8:00 pm
Hi! This sounds all too familiar to me. It takes me back to when my wife was about to have our first child. With news of full dilation and an imminent birth in room one, it didn’t take long for the whole room to be filled with spectators. Should have sold tickets to that great event but I don’t think the wife would have appreciated that. Mind you, we could have done with the money way back then. As for your embarrassing moment, I would have done the gentlemanly thing and closed the door.

July 6th, 2008 at 9:44 am
Lisa (Jonny’s Mommy) — If I heard I had a cute butt, I’d likely attack and hug whoever said it and invite them back for next time!
Peter McCartney — Ah, I know you to be a fine gentleman and I’d thank you for the courtesy! I’m sure all bets are off for privacy when a women is giving birth. There’s no time for niceties. Just get the job done, I say!
Ulquiorra — Yes, it made a nice end table. And, sad to say, there was ample room for all the junk she put on it. Sigh.
July 6th, 2008 at 9:49 am
I always miss out on opportunities to make witty comments when I go camping. All the good comments have already been taken so I’m at a loss. I guess I’ll just have to accept the fact that I got behind on this one. 😀
July 6th, 2008 at 10:00 am
Just be happy that no one asks if you have ever played Butt Bongo Fiesta!
July 6th, 2008 at 11:55 am
Kinda of reminded me when I used to get a monthly shot at the doctor right in the Butt. Big Glass window and blind completely up to the nurses desk.

Bababooey — For the life of me, I couldn’t remember where I’d heard that reference. Had to google it. And, yes, I’m real happy they didn’t break out with BBF!
Curtis — Nice. Misery loves company!
July 6th, 2008 at 7:10 pm
too bad you couldn’t kick the door closed with your foot. some nurses are cold people. anybody who could stick a little baby with a needle like its nothing doesn’t give a rats uh…about anyone’s butt on public display. :/
heck she could’ve done your business in the waiting room or why not the parking lot. lol
