THE PROCTOLOGIST EXAM

I can't quit laughing. When I had male patients come into the office for a physical, the above 40 crowd because we did rectal exams on all those over 40 but not until than as a rule, I would pull out the KY and gloves just to see their eyes get bigger.

OK, I know this is a humor thread and this is supposed to be funny. But please tell me that you don't really do this.

I know, I know it's mean but yes I do.

It's worse than mean, it's downright unprofessional. I find it difficult to believe that a nurse, of all people, would find joy in the terror of a patient.

I think you are taking this way too seriously. It's humor!!!!!!! The guys that I did this to had no problem with it, they got the joke. I didn't leave the room until reassuring them that it was not time for that type of exam yet. It's a joke, they got it, why don't you.

:rotfl: hey we all need to have a good laugh now and then ! we are dedicated nurses....but we need some comic relief from time to time..thanks girlfriend !!!

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this. It would have helped if you would have said that you gave some degree of reassurance though. I have had too many bad experiences in this area which is why I am so touchy about it. Guys just don't get the same respect when it come to intimate care as you gals get. Imagine yourself having had a bad experience and then seeing a male posting something off-color here ref females under the guise of humor. You just never know how people will react to this stuff. What the OP said about butt light/ bud lite, now that was funny! It was obvious humor. I am all for humor. Nuff said.

I am easily embarrassed, but I still do not have much of a problem with your sense of humor. One of the things I appreciated when I was in the Critical Care Unit in 2003 is that no one ever did anything to embarrass me in front of my visitors. I was even given slippers and pajama bottoms (in addition to the gown) after the nurse cleaned me up.

Actually, the biggest surprise in reading the allnurses.com forums is how modest nurses can be about their own bodies. This knowledge may cause me to smirk during some future intimate procedure, as I wonder how the nurse would react if she were undergoing the same procedure.
