Quotes of the Night

It was a tie:

First, the adorable octogenarian who when I lifted her gown to examine her belly, proclaimed:

"I don't have sex anymore."

Her daughters burst out laughing, and it was all I could do to keep a straight face.


And last, the long-haired, heavily tattooed dude with the exceedingly rare but supposedly quite painful genetic disease. He presented bearing a letter dated 10 years ago from an out of state physician who attested to his diagnosis. He claimed the letter referred to him, despite the fact that the surname was different. Mom was with him, backing up his story. He admitted to regularly using cocaine and purchasing Oxycontin off the street to ease the pain of his incurable condition, but yet he denied having a local physician who treated him.

"All you doctors think I'm just a drug abuser."

You do realize that "Mom" really wasn't his mom, right?

Oh your right, we little old ladies just say whatever the hell pops into our heads, and then later we realize what we have said and get embarrassed. I recently did this almost exact same thing during a visit with my GYN.

I don't know what pocessed me to say such a thing, but right before my exam, I blurted out..."I haven't had sex in 10 years now"

He responded..."congratulations".....The nurse laughed and i could tell he was trying hard not to. I was mortified that I had said such a thing.
