An elderly lady came in for her annual physical exam.
In preparing for the bi-manual portion of the pelvic
and rectal exams, for the past 17 years I have said,
“ This may be a little uncomfortable I am going to examine
you with my hand.” followed shortly with “ This will also
be uncomfortable I am going to examine your rectum.”
When the automatic speech patterns took over on this occasion
what came out was, “ this may be a little uncomfortable,
I’m going to examine you with my rectum”
The nurse and I could hardly complete the exam.
Love
M.
