Background:
Awhile back the husband had the pox. The chicken pox that is. And when we originally didn't know what it was, we went to our regular clinic, but on a walk-in shift, with a walk-in doctor.
At the time, the walk-in doctor said, and I quote, "Well, this CERTAINLY isn't chickenpox but it SURE IS interesting. Let me get the book..."
Yea, that was a big ol' MISS and he suffered for weeks because of it.
So then about a month later, the husband started having these "issues" with his eye. The kind of "issues" I made fun of for, and told him he was just OLLLLLDDDDD for. The kind of "issues" that had him winking ONE eye to test his sight in the OTHER eye, and I, in all my GLORIOUS sensitivity, would wink right back at him exclaiming things like "Arrrr matey!" But the kind of "issues" that uhhh.... turned out to be turning him half-blind in one eye... oopsy.
Anyway, as luck would have it, he again saw the SAME walk-in doctor on pretty much the SAME walk-in shift. And what did she say on this particular visit? Let me quote her - "I'm really sorry about that mis-diagnosis on the pox, but the one thing I know FOR SURE is this eye thing, it's NOT related to chicken pox."
Turns out it WAS related, and he now has some (minor) but permanent damage to his eye.
Which takes us to yesterday...
"I thought you should know, I'm going to die."
"Wha???"
"Remember the doctor who DIDN'T diagnose your chicken pox OR your eye infection? Well she did my pap today."
"DEAR GAWD! Did she even put it in the right place? In your cha-cha?"
"No SMARTASS, she put it in my mouth... And then we had this REALLY awkward conversation about how the speculum tasted funny..."

HAhahahahahah chicklet, You Rock
Oh my! I so did not see it ending like that!
Oh your poor hubby! I can't imagine having CP as an adult!
I hope she warmed up the speculum first....
I think you need a new clinic!
Snicker.
I take a lot of effort to do the best pap that I can. Warm speculum, right size etc etc.
I hope that my patients don't think I'm such a dill as Dr Pox-Doom!
:)
Chicklet, I gotta say . . . the Improve called and they want their stand up comic back! You are just too funny and always make me laugh. Thanks for being you.
OMG, I can't believe that! Poor hubbs and his eye. I had the pox back in 2nd grade and thankfully, I can't remember much about it.
LOL about the pap. You really should do some stand up. I'd totally pay for that.
OMG, I just spewed my drinks all over the screen. Once again, thanks Chicklet! Always good for some late night drink-spewing humor.
Oh my goodness! Poor hubby, but hilarious post!
Too funny. :)
