Are you SURE you're not an aspie? Typewritten symptoms, by day and time. OMG. It sounds so much like me. BTW, I always chat around with my doctor too. He loves it. You know what it is, we treat him like a human being, not a god. They do get sick of sitting on that pedestal, you know, even while they perpetuate the worship.

You are so right Trab. Doctors do get sick of being worshipped as gods. (though some of them do like it).I always have a little human joke with the doc and he seems to like the fun.He told me he gets very frustrated with patients that just expect him to do all the work and won't make an effort for themselves.I believe when we visit a doctor we should always remember it is called a 'consultation' and that means the final decisions must rest with me, albeit with consideration of the doctors advice. I had a cute cousin I used to practise medicine with when I was 14.

That sounds so nice and innocent Des, but you neglected to say what age your cousin was.

Hmm I think he was about 16. However, I must admit I wasn't counting years at the time.And no he wasn't my first, err doctor.

So I have to be The Nurse -again? Waits "patient-ly"...was that a deliberate pun?

Now wait just a minute here! We were having a perfectly fine and pleasant discussion of a doctor's visit, and we degererated into this? Playing doctor with our cousin? Where's the decorum?<G>I was all set to remark how different it was when I went to doctors and they were all 42 years older than I was, versus going now when I'm about the same number of anum older than they. (What is the plural of anum, anyway? I never took Latin.) The dynamic is indeed different. I have a woman doctor and she younger than I. Well, most people are, but we don't talk about that much. But having a woman check you out is quite startling, till you get used to it. I'm used to it. Well, almost.Des, I'm glad you're feeling better, just because someone spoke kindly to you. Makes me wonder if you needed a doctor at all, or just more frequent visits to the forums here. Would have saved you some money. Think about it.Cole

Cole Parker wants to know about "decorum". If I remember correctly, where my cousin was concerned there was very little decorum any where near him.My doctor is a bout the same age as me, a year or two younger at most. This makes me a little apprehensive in case he becomes as senile as me. The image of one old fogey trying to assess the health of another old fogey is probably material for a Monty Python sketch. I must admit also that in my experience I find it terribly difficult to relate to a female doctor. I am not all comfortable with them on practically any level outside of me being unconscious. I certainly would not want to discuss my anum with her. (I presume the plural of anum is anus.) If I spend any more time in the forums I will be arrested for loitering. But yes Cole, I did need a reassurance from a friendly human (male) that I was still breathing and not threatened with immediate extinction. Now I have to worry about poor Jason sitting there all waiting for me to practise medicine without a licence.I just hope he understands the need for decorum if I inspect his anum.

Des, you just don't understand the benefits of a pucker prodder of the female persuasion. They are vastly more gentle, and it can become more of a massage than a mauling. Why, you almost look forward to the experience. Almost.But as for plurals and such, since you obviously qualify as an expert, tell me, is it anum anus, or a num anus? I suppose it depends on the doctor.C

Cole I think I will settle for the mauling, particularly if it means a num anus, but I can assure I remain anything but an expert in the female massage matters even if it was only once an anum. OMG I can't believe we are even talking about this!

I supposed I'd better tell you MY little tail, um, er, tale. I went to my doctor regarding a rather interesting discoloration and flaking off 'material' from the sensitive end of my penis, and lo and behold, in he walks, holding my chart, and accompanied by a female. He introduces her as a 2nd year medical student, observing, and asks me to describe the problem. Um, er, uh. What the hell do I say? How can I get out of this one, with any dignity at all. "You can't, sucker", I tell myself, "unless you act as though there isn't a problem with this." So, I proceeded to tell my doctor my woes, and pulled out the old (sadly, it's as old as I am) pecker, and showed them both the details. I never cease to amaze myself.

Trab, You win the story of the month award. (Not to mention this years bravery medal.)

I'd have said "it's a guy problem and I'm too embarrassed" because I would be.
