Turn Your Head and Cough....

'Don't mess with me – I get paid to poke people with sharp objects'


Like so many, I hate going to the doctor.   It's not really about fear, I'm healthy, and have been lucky, knock on wood, I've never had to spend a night in a hospital.  I hate going, as I've spent many hours waiting in doctor's waiting rooms and hospital emergency rooms with others.  I've been their for work reasons, and with friends and families, even sitting beside others who've received very bad news.


I go though, once a year usually, for blood work, and a once over, just a check-up like I do for my car.  My doctor is nice, and always busy, running in and out as he juggles two or three appointments at the same time.  I don't mind getting naked at the doctors,  I do mind though, taking my clothes off, then waiting 15 or 20 minutes for my doctor to return.


I have a male doctor presently, but I initially looked for a female doctor.  I had a female pediatrician growing up, and always felt safe and cared for when I went to see her.  Sadly, she retired when I was about 16, and I had to find another doctor.  I bounced around a few before finally finding one I was comfortable with.  Given how difficult it is for many to find a family doctor, I don't want to risk losing the doctor I have.


Whenever I feature vintage images, I try to find images that appear to be authentic.  Like so many cmnm/cfmn themes, they are often used in adult films and I try to avoid those when posting, especially with a vintage theme.  That being said, not a lot of people have their picture taken when stripping down at the doctor's office, so I'm sure many of these were staged for one reason or another.
