HA! I saw a new OB/GYN today

[happyteeth]

She was very nice, and really smart. Her exam was quick and not uncomfortable, and I felt at ease.....
Then right before the internal, as my ass is hanging off the table and i'm all widescreen, she says "have you been in the sun this summer?! I see your tan line!!" she then proceeded to trace my rear tan line with her finger
I burst out laughing from being tickeled and shocked. And as she's doing the exam, all I can think was, did that just happen?

Tom Selleck. Just saying.

[OHMBLEEGOHHHHH!]

I have had several experiences with OBGYNs who forget that their patients aren't used to their vaginas being discussed as everyday objects.

Ew! That would be really creepy to me!

Um, what?

That is weird. I don't like when my OBGYN talks about anything when I am spread eagle.

[ElizabethBennet]

OMG, I can't believe she traced it with her finger! EW EW EW!

[sake]

My obgyn talked for 10 min about how she liked my engagement/wedding ring more than she liked her own while she was doing my exam when I first found out I was pregnant....
I really don't like her, and plan on finding someone new before this baby makes its appearance.

[MWOS]

Did you have a nurse present during the exam?

While I was getting my cervix biopsied a couple of years ago, by a much older male doctor, he thought it would be appropriate to run his hand up my leg and tell me how nice and long they are. Totally creepy.

Found out later that he delivered my husband. All set with that doctor. Thanks.

um, yikes.

Oh hell no!

That is really, really weird. And tracing it? OMG. I would die.

I feel like that is sort of unprofessional.

[ElizabethBennet]

Ya I don't think professional and ass stroking go in the same sentence.

Unless of course, you're a hooker.

My reaction exactly. My dr. never touches me without first saying exactly what he's going to do. A random ass stroke? Yuck.

I'm with nursecramer. Yuck.

[SKP82]

Uh, what?? That is completely creepy!

HAHA! I guess I'm kind of weird, because this would make me mostly lol with a just a side of wtf. I figure she's on a first name basis with my cervix, so touching my skin isn't registering on the holy-shit meter for me.

LOL I agree.

Years ago, when we first moved here, i saw a male gyn and he was performing the exam, and asking me about summer plans. I told him about my upcoming cancun trip and he started talking about orgies on vacation, and how much fun my trip will be. I couldn't get out of there fast enough
