ossobuco: *LOL* What a way to start! I was never comfortable doing them, especially on the older ladies who had been through it before. You see I would have to give my little schpeel beforehand (undress from the waist up, nothing on the legs, when you're ready lie down on the bed) and they would start peeling before I even got the whole verbal routine out of my mouth! So I'd hurry and then quickly close the door behind me. I guess at that stage of life, they aren't concerned who sees what anymore, including other patients! (Forgot to mention, this was at an outpatient site where there were blood collections, pee collections and ECG's. Poop collections were strongly discouraged. They can do that stuff at home!!)
Another time....this man...Japanese...mid 40's...didn't understand English well. I came in and he was laying on the bed with his jeans around his ankles and his undies on. (Briefs!
) I got the impression he was somewhat uncomfortable in this state of undress, alone in a room with a woman he didn't know. *L* But oh my....I was rather glad he peeled off as much as he did. What a body!!! Just his face alone, you might expect him to be in his 30's...but just judging the body alone, I would have thought him in his 20's. Ah yes, the job did have its rewards.
