Anyone have any Embarassing Dr. stories?

Nurses Humor

Published

I had an appointment today with my doctor. I've known him for a while. He works at my hospital which makes this story even more embarassing for me. Ok so he was listening to my heart while I was lying down, I had to pull my shirt up so he could hear. He told me "hold your breasts" I said ok, so I held them up so he could get better access to my PMI. Well he said again, "hold your breasts" so I asked him " Should I hold them up or to the side, can you not hear my heart very well or what?" So I am sitting there moving my boobs all around trying to accomadate him when he says "I said hold your breath!"

:eek:

As a student nurse, my classmates and I always got the short end of the stick from this one doctor. He didnt have the best bed side manners and was quick to say nurses and student are not at his level. However, one day we got him back by not telling him his tag and stickers were still up and down his pants as he made his rounds. We never said a word to him about and let him carry on his rounds. When asked why we didnt say anything, we simple put, as he liked to tell us, we dont know what your talking about. Priceless

jnkrek2006: Like the price tag was still on? Haha. That happened to me in middle school and a group of boys were snickering at me, and I was like "WHAT??" One of them said "we were just wondering if you were still for sale"

I was changing a saline bag when the doc walked up behind me and tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around without thinking squirting saline directly into his face. He says "Thanks but I already had a shower this morning!" I almost died of embarrassment. Thank God he had a good sense of humor.

It was my FIRST clinical duty in the OR, and I was one of two student nurse who assisted the surgeon.

It was so quiet,and in the middle of the surgery, the surgeon looked at me and asked for my name. Out of nervousness,I assumed what I was doing is wrong,I answered "I'm sorry"..

Then he looked at me and said, "Your name is Sorry??".. LOL!

omg! I was so embarrased!

I have a funny doctor story. Years ago when I worked CCU, one of the cardiologists was a tall, distinguished, rather aloof man. He was doing a full physical exam on this sweet, tiny, demure, elderly lady including a rectal. With his finger in the usual place for rectals, he was asking her " Does this hurt?. Does this hurt? How does it feel here?" And she clearly said, "It feels like my doctor has his finger up my a____." We giggled every time we saw him after that

I went for a physical, the doctor said while palpating my abdomen, "What kind of surgery did you have here?" Mortified I replied, "That's a stretch mark."

Same place different doctor told a patient having a pelvic exam "It looks like a cottage cheese factory in there". Place was a real laugh riot, lol. Thank God it was another nurse who heard that one, but her face was so red when she told me about it.

Gotta share this one from nursing school. So I was with the doc while he was doin his assessment. He was a great doc, explained everything, was so patient with questions; In short a students dream. The woman had horrible peripheral swelling, and I couldn't get pedal pulses. I asked him for advice. He was great said well let's lisen to them. I was so excited because I hadn't got to use the Doppler and I wanted to, so he asked me to get the Doppler. I went into the equipment room to get it. Now mind you I had never used it, knew what it was supposed to do but had never seen it. So I grabbed the first thing that I saw not really reading anything. It had a monitor and a handle looked kind of like an ultrasound type machine. I brought it into the patient's room and he looked at it looked and me and smiled at me with that gentle smile and said "well this woman already has a catheter, but that machine would be perfect if we needed to decide if she needed one." I grabbed the bladder scanner!! LoL. I just laughed and said, oh I knew that, duh. Backed out of the room I'm sure red faced and found the correct machine with the help of another floor nurse. As a student I was like gosh I'm an idiot! But I laugh now, I did get to hear her pulses though!
