Saw the doc again yesterday…(a little chuckle coming…)
I went to see my gastroenterologist. We used to work together about 12 years ago. It is still hard being on the receiving end rather than the giving end…. I used to do endoscopies all of the time when the docs needed the help for OR nurses just do not like to do endoscopy – me I LOVED IT! – I am an Operating Room nurse. I’ve been an RN for 19 years.
Getting back to doc, I trust him with my life. He was a little late for there was an emergency at the hospital. I was making ‘light talk’ with the nurses there at the surgicare. I let them know why we’re there and what biopsies we were getting again. I tried to have my husband take my place, he laughed and said he is there to protect me, not take my place. They gave me ‘happy juice’, so much I really remember nothing but telling my doc friend that he looks so much better now that he is not wearing his toupee’ that he wore when I worked with him years ago. He says I did not embarrass him, but the poor nurses -I am sure have not worked with him that long -gave him a look of wow! Thought you’d like that little chuckle. He gave me my set of pictures, the boys wanted to take them to school and show them to their friends. My husband, Steve, told me how funny I was for apparently I told my doc friend many times how much better he looked…yikes. Darn amnesia effect. Hopefully I can scan the photos in…if not you’re off the hook of looking at my Esophagogastroduodenoscopy…for now.
