Snappy, pale skinned people like us need them regularly as we get older. The damage done by the sun when you were a child doesn’t really show up until you are much older.
When I go to the doctor, I immediately strip down naked and stand in the middle of the room. Even if it’s just to get a vaccination shot. Is that weird?
Biff – That’s still less embarrassing than it would’ve been if you’d used the paper gown & kept having to reveal small bits of yourself (no double entendre intended) over the course of the exam.
So I had my annual dermatology exam this morning. How embarrassing. And people don’t like going to the dentist? The female assistant asked me to remove my clothing before she left the room and gave me one of those goofy light-blue paper robes to wear. I opted to forego the robe and just stripped down to my boxers and sat on the examining table / couch. The doctor then enters the room WITH the assistant, who stays in the room at all times. I guess most doctors do that these days to protect themselves from potential lawsuits. So the woman is standing there watching as the doctor examines every inch of me (the re-writes to this basically write themselves). I was going to ask the guy to at least dim the lights (and buy me dinner first). He has me face the wall, face him, lie face down, lie on my back, pulls down the boxers. I can’t decide if I should just close my eyes and wait for it to end or look at the assistant to hopefully see she’s looking away.
At least his assistant didn’t laugh at any point, but it was pretty uncomfortable…for all of us, I’m sure. By the time I got dressed and was leaving, I saw the assistant gabbing with the two receptionists. I couldn’t help but feel a bit paranoid thinking they typically congregate to gossip / giggle about what the assistant saw.

Biff, you feel embarassed cause you haven’t crossed that line yet – the line of “Married, have kids, fat, and don’t give an F how I look”

I have to be off for a while. If Snappy shows up, would someone please direct her to my Forum question? Thanks.
I didnt even know folks had annual dermatology exams! Is this a general skin cancer check?
So Biff, are you telling us that Mrs. Champion is getting shortchanged???
Do you go to Dr. Romano???

No need to test, chicken. I think Perdue has those pop up things now for when you’re done. Just like turkeys.
