dust bunny, I’m always too afraid of getting caught. It’s kind of like my concern with being caught mid-strip. I bet there’s some good stuff in those cabinets… I love supplies – both medical and office

Signs, signs, signs….compliance through intimidation?

If they only knew…..I also keep occupied looking in all the cupboards and trying out the blood pressure thingy. Someday I’ll figure out how to log onto the computer and have some real fun.

Dust Bunny, How about office signage that harps on turning off the cell phones,giving 48 hours notice for prescription refills and appointment cancellation policies that use the same font as Most Wanted signs in the old west?

Obviously my GP (should I switch to a GYN??) believes education is more important than art appreciation……I get to stare at posters informing me that smoking kills, diabetics need to take off their socks (as well as their clothes), pregnant women should get plenty of calcium, and small children must never be left alone in the Chill Room. I fill the 25-45 minute wait scribbling in my notebook so I can study up for the next visit—just in case there’s more than one kind of exam in the exam room.

I hate how they give you the little paper tie that I can never figure out so I cinch it up to keep the edges together, and then I look like a japanese lantern. And the artwork in my doctor’s office is all of women gazing off thoughtfully into the distance. Probably looking for their clothes.

@pricilla, your goat ob/gyn sounds as if he/she at least has the right idea putting the art on the ceiling.

@humorsmith, exposure should be my middle name. When I used to imagine myself wearing a white gown and going to the ball, this isn't what I meant.

@Lola, what's with the Monets all over doctor's office walls? Whenever I see a real Monet, I think "doctor's office". I don't understand for the life of me, the big hurry to get anyone into the paper gown too early.

I guess my ob-gyn must have been a bit pricier than yours. He had Monet prints on all of his walls.

But then he did make me wait more than 3 hours (a post hysterectomy appointment) before his staff finally said he wasn’t going to make his appointments that day due to several emergencies. It was the first appointment after surgery. Words can’t explain how uncomfortable I was. Thank goodness I hadn’t yet been ushered into an exam room and given the paper towel gown yet.

With that paper gown, I think you were worrying about the wrong kind of exposure.

My ob/gyn has said photo on the ceiling so when you lie down you see the “escape” photo. But this is Montana so it is a ski scene. Hmmm, just what you need; thoughts of cold places….
