Today I had occassion to visit hospital in order to have my prostate examined.
My doctor who'm I also consider a friend and I have always enjoyed a wee bit of leg pulling and recently I believed I was leading in the 'gotcha' scores.
I had developed a roll of 35mm film for her which had been lying in a draw in her late mother's house for a great number of years. On successfully developing it I found it contained pictures of family events one of which showed a wee girl in a nappy running round a garden. I correctly presumed it to be my medical friend and rang her to say
"Deved the film and there are some compromising pictures on the roll of you which you probably won't want your husband and family to see"
On seeing the contact sheet she let out a sigh of relief told me what a total
*^$@ hole I was and that she would get her own back. Fine bring it on.
Anyway today at aforesaid hospital I was told by the clinic nurse to get undressed in this room and lie on the examining couch and the doctor would be in shortly to carry out the procedure which involved inserting a camera on the end of a long flexible tube into a certain body orifice which would let them see my prostate gland. No problem they would be using a cream which would allow easy access of camera.
In comes doctor, smiles sweetly looks at my naked body and says to the nurse "MMMMmmm it's very small I think we are going to have a problem here" She then explains how this camera is going to be inserted and quite
candidly tell me that it's going to hurt. Nurse gives me a sweet smile and says "Don't worry I'll hold your hand" Looks at doctor and stifles what I now believe to be a giggle.
Doctor then says "OK here we go, here's the camera" reaches under the couch and pulls into view Nikon F3 complete with motordrive attached to length of armoured electrical cable.
Supposedly I went as white as a sheet and looked scared to death. Turns out
consultant is my GP's sister and the nurse one of her friends.
It took a moment and then I saw the funny side and laughed along with them more out of relief than being humoured.
One up to my GP. My turn next methinks.
