Freaky female anatomy

[Nurse Ratched]

I'm starting to get a complex. In recent cath attempts, I keep running into patients who have stuff prolapsed, holes in strange places, and generally not at all textbook anatomy. I confirm with a fellow nurse, who marvels at my ability to get patients whose urethras refuse to reveal themselves. Am I the only one?

Ewwwwww. Yicky!! (said in my best Emma voice)

Yicky.....or not......these things must be taught to our daughters at an age when every mother feels it is right to do. Why leave them wondering what they look like down there when in their motherhood years, many doctors will have the medical task of doing so....and so will their spouses after they become a union in that department of the relationship/marriage.

Many women I have cared for do not know how they are made there. That should never be! The body is nothing to be ashamed of. Teach correct anatomy and physiology to your children "at the age of your choosing according to each child's ability to maturely handle such content". I wish I had been a nurse before I had children. I wish I had given them those instructions so they could examine themselves with a mirror long before they got married. For all I know.....they may have...I just don't know if they did or didn't. I would have made certain that all three of my teenaged daughters knew their bodies well.

Fathers: give instructions to your sons about their own anatomy. Make sure they understand the physiology of their own reproductive system. Perhaps if they undertand the value of the temples they are housed in, maybe they just might respect themselves and their bodies more......and stop casting their valuable seed to the cheapest bidder. :chuckle

For evey womb's eggs that fall, there is a sperm in the world to activate it into a life to be treasured, valued, respected, and loved. Teach your children to be selective about who they give their reproductive seeds and eggs to......not to mention everything else they can "catch" that may ruin their chances of being able to reproduce at all. :kiss

Didn't y'all see Fried Green Tomatoes?

Oh geez, I was pretty young when that movie came out, I think my correct reaction at that moment was "uh put a mirror where?"

:chuckle

I love the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes"!!! I've seen it so many times since it first came out, and never tire of seeing it. :)

How old are you? I'm 26 (but only for 7 more days!) and I remember when that movie came out.

How about the ones that haven't seen the light of day in many many years---all red and excoriated!! yukkk we had a " 4 Nurse" cath job recently --550 lb female--- a nurse on each leg and one pushing up the pendulous abdomen while I ventured with goggles and mask (PEW) to find the lost hole!!! Got it though!!

I graduated from Nursing school with a girl that swiped one of those clear plastic speculums from her OB/Gyns office, took it home and used it on herself...she wanted to know what her girl parts looked like.

Yes, she was VERY bizzare in other ways too.

Admit it Nancy.... it was you.
