Now THAT'S entertainment!

Today has been most entertaining, only in so far as it has been horribly NONentertaining.

Usually I get to dicate my reports in the blissful, relaxed calm of solitude. TODAY, my overzealous new attending was going to teach me with each and every MRI we read.

About 2 hours into the marathon, I got a little bored, as she was belaboring a case and I was no longer getting anything out of the discussion. I had a few important emails to send today regarding moonlighting and a case conference Im going to be giving...so I opened up my email.

Well, what popped up (as I over-eagerly double-clicked one too many times) was an email from a fuzzy musclebear in just jeans and leather suspenders.

As I am fumbling trying to get the thing off the screen before anyone sees it, she comments, "Why do you have a picture of a half-naked man in leather??" loud enough for everyone in the room to hear.

I fumbled through some lame excuse, but I can only assume it sounded twice as pitiful to her as it did to me. In the past I might have been horrified and embarrassed for days...but all I can do about it now is laugh. It IS kind of funny.

I second that motion. Musclebears were created to share.

Why only half naked?

Someone needs to learn to mind her own business. "Why do you think I have it, Helen? I find it hot. Wipe that look off your face, missy, because I don't want to think about what *you* do in bed either, ok?"

Should have told he was a patient and this was what he looked like BEFORE the MRI....

Your response...

"Because the wearing of the jeans prevents him from being fully naked. Any other dumb questions?"

Or, if you wanted to be a little less offensive to her (considering she is your attending), your kinder, gentler response...

"I see you're an optimist, because a pessimist would have observed, 'The man is half-clothed.'"

The standard "Jeez, spam gets more and more weird every day" might have sufficed. :)

So, I take it you are not out at work then? I would still be mortified to have that announced in teh office even though 95% of the people here know I am gay.

When I was a resident we had a friend of mine who was in Family Practice come rotate on our site.

We were sitting around the conference room eating lunch with some other residents when we got to talking about Family Practice. My friend's a Mormon and a bit sheltered so he was fascinated by a medical device he saw at a convention. The device was for erectile dysfunction (in the days before Viagra) and essentially used a vacuum pump with a thick rubber band that slides down over the penis to keep it erect. He thought this "new" device was sheer genius.

I thought he was just showing his sheltered side again so I quipped, " Oh please, Michael, cock rings and peter pumps have been around for centuries!"

Which was met by stunned silence from the other residents in the room who obviously had also NEVER heard of these things. "...or so I've heard..." I said...

Yeah don't you love it when you caught with something like that on your screen and then to have someone call you on the carpet about it. I probably would have done the same thing, gave some lame excuse because it was the first thing that came to my head.
