- The consequences of having wisdom teeth removed
I was under anaesthesia after having my wisdom teeth removed. While I was waiting for my ride in a not-so-empty lobby, I vaguely remember seeing someone else with a bunch of gauze hanging out of their mouth; when I saw this, I started laughing at them.
Of course, my friend came in and saw me laughing at myself in the mirror. My friend asked the administrator if I was okay, to which she replied, ‘Oh yes, he’s been like this for over five minutes.’
- The day the ‘pimple’ took centre stage
I had a small bump on my chin. I thought it might be a pimple. It had been there for several months, so I got nervous and went to the doctor.
He looked at it for a few seconds and then squeezed it hard. It hurt a lot. It turned out to be a pimple. When he jumped up, he said, ‘Wow! It hit the wall!’ Then, pointing to the wall, he said, ‘We’ll disinfect it later.’
- Strange smell
Remote user: My husband started to smell really bad… I mean, REALLY. I made an appointment for him to see a urologist and decided to go with him for support. He went into the doctor’s office, and the doctor closed the door.
Five minutes later, the doctor comes out, and his face turns red when he sees me. Doc (barely holding back laughter): You’ll probably want to go in and see for yourself.
Me: ‘Doctor, what’s going on? Why are you laughing?’ And then my husband comes out. He says: ‘Darling… I’m not sure how to say this… But I’ve been cheating on you.’
His words hit me like a freight train, and I felt my heart shatter into pieces. I looked at him, searching for any sign of the person I thought I knew, but all I saw was a stranger. The doctor, realising the gravity of the situation, quickly excused himself, leaving us in an awkward, painful silence.
I stood there, devastated, as the truth about his infidelity and the reason for the sudden change in his scent sank in.
The smell was caused by a sexually transmitted disease that the doctor had diagnosed him with, and he knew that I didn’t have it, so the betrayal was obvious. That day opened my eyes to everything.
Have you ever had an awkward situation at the doctor’s office?
