I totally get why they have them. I’m sure it cuts down on cost and time rather than having to send them out to be washed…not to mention, who would want to put a gown that has stains on it. Blech. But still. Paper?
As you can probably guess from the title of this post, I had my annual exam today. I passed the doctor in the hall on the way to my room who said “I will give you a few moments to get dressed” (this piece of information is vital in a few minutes…you’ll see). Anyway, I get to the room and the nurse hands me a paper gown and a paper drape thingy to put over my lap.
I put the gown on and I swear every time I moved, it ripped. If that wasn’t bad enough, I was holding the gown together too tightly and poked my finger through it. If I moved my hand away, it was in the perfect location for a nipple to poke out. At that very moment, my doctor knocks on the door to see if I am ready. He walks in and said “you were ready quick!” and I respond with…wait for it…”yea I am pretty quick at getting my clothes off”. Then my face goes red.
So on top of the ripped paper gown that I might as well have not been wearing and the peek-a-boo nipple hole, I had to go and say that. There was an awkward silence followed by and even more awkward appointment. Men have it so easy.
LOL I HATE those gowns. Those visits are the pits! I’ve never wuite understood why I always wear my prettiest panties to the OB/GYN. Heck, he never sees them.
OMG I’m sorry I just laughed my butt off. That is exactly why when I do bother to get one done, I see a female gyno.
oh that is funny…..I’m with ya on the paper gowns…pointless…I’m sure your doctor has heard everything though…lol…

Yep, that about sums up how the visits go. My favorite is when you get a paper top but a real sheet for your lap. Like it really matters at that point.
I hate those stupid paper gowns too. I had a moment like that with my dentist. My dentist is a 4th year dental student, young, cute and married. He was saying that (dental) implants can cost $6,000 some places. I responded by saying that if I was going to pay $6,000 for an implant it wouldn’t be for my mouth LOL. I think I embarrassed the hell outta him.
hahahahaha, that is hillarious! I feel for you. Those gowns suck! hehe
