Hospital embarrassing Tests.

I recently had a Follow Through Test at a local CT Scan Lab. One of those tests to check if anything is going on in my digestive track. Not so bad, but it takes three long boring hours and two liters of horrible tasting water. As I guzzled down this water that tasted like someone had used it once already, they would follow a radio active isotope on an MRI screen. Other than proving the top hole , my big old mouth, is actually connected to my tight little hole on the end. They found nothing wrong other than the over the top expense.

The embarrassing part of the whole procedure, was having a gown and just my diapers on. I blushed and gaged while they poured electrons through my body.

The Technician, was about twenty something years old. One of those good looking middle twenties hard body young professionals. She was fascinated with my Rearz Dinosaur diapers, that I did hesitate to wear for the test. At 70 years old, hell what would anyone care that I was wearing for protection? None the less she asked, where did I ever buy these super diapers from? She used the old misnomer, Incontinent products. I hate that term, they are diapers.

My question was about her close interests in my fancy diapers. I did supply her with my source, as she shared a rather shy answer. I have a friend, who wears protection. He is always interested in new products due to incontinence. I recognized that sort of old half truth, about the intended user for the diapers. I have heard that a million times over the years from shy folks.

Test over and back into my street clothes ready to head home. I thanked her and gave her the small bag I always carry with me. Inside there was two new diapers I had brought for just incase. Changing supplies to catch the radio active, terrible tasting effluent, I expect to pour out of me.

Last night in bed, I thought to myself of her returning to her home and diapering her so called friend or herself. The thoughts worked even better than my Viagra for Willie my friend in the front of my diapers.

Hope you enjoyed, you pretty young and sexy MRI Technician, you have been outed in diapers, in my thoughts.

Honestly, most of us are trained not to use the word diaper from early in our careers. Briefs or Incontinence products is pretty much the standard, because the goal is to keep people independent, so infantalizing them is frowned upon. You'll see it like that over and over, that most nurses will never call it a diaper to your face. Just in the back room 😜

In my hospital staff can be written up or fired for calling it a diaper .

I hate euphenisms , i consider it my duty when i am in the hospital to verbal corner each nurse or aide and make them call a diaper a diaper ,its a matter of personal honor . I dont want you "to get me dry " you cant "check my Attends","change my product"," freshen my protection" .

I however wouldn't mind you changing my diaper ?

I am not offended by the word diaper ,however if I was in Europe Nappy is fine or south Africa Napkin is fine .

And if you haven't seen Trevor Noah talk about his experiences as a new American its hilarious , his friend takes him to the middle of nowhere taco truck ,he doesn't have any idea what a taco is , but when the dude tells him there messy does he want extra napkins , he has to wonder how good could this food be ,if I need those after I eat " that's the concise version ,I saw it on Facebook and LMFAO !

Just want to say the diaper euphemisms embarrass me more than just calling them that. Medical folks Pretending they don't exist. Makes me feel ashamed. I think it's well meaning but, that no one asked incontinent ppl.

I totally agree, if your wearing a diaper and they call it protection. When I got a thick heavy duty diaper tape to me then it's a DIAPER. I'm ok with them calling it protection if your using a pad and underwear.

I've had many many test done and have seen many doctors since my back injury and becoming incontinent. I'm comfortable wearing diapers in public or even private places because it's necessary for my incontinence. However I do get embarrassed when I see new doctors or even new staff. Most test and procedures require you to be just in a gown. Every time I get an x-ray the tech always ask if there is any metal or foreign objects. Of course I tell them I'm wearing a diaper with embarrassment. Most of the time they say we need the “protection” removed which makes me ashamed. Why should I feel ashamed of wearing a diaper preventing a urine mess everywhere because of my incontinence. I'm not wearing protection, it's called a diaper. I don't know why I get embarrassed or even ashamed but I do. I had to accept being incontinent and all the related things associated with it, why can't they accept that I'm wearing a diaper?

True story , I just got home from health jail had the usual CT ,cardiac stress test , perfusion study and my “usual cardiac catheterization•”

during the IV isotope infusion the usual warnings and. Expected things were repeated , for me i could teach the class this is at least my tenth time having this done . One of the routine advisements is you wil feel warm all over and may feel like you wet your pants ( where do I get pants ? All they gave me was a dress with my ass hanging out ) after the test they move me from the table back to gurney and the tech goes to clean the table and it was wet , “ I think your britches leaked , sir” I said there not my britches there your diapers , there cheap and they leak , sorry my man , you said it was possible , I confirmed it !

I have a reputation in recovery room as Mr. Box , the only time I am there is because DR. Didn’t listen , I am a veteran of these procedures “going wrong “ , anesthesiologist never listen , I tell them no matter what drug or how much you put that damn box on my head , I will go from zero to trying to rip your throat out , they try and use the box and bang I go from sedation to general anesthesthic in one move because my arms come out of stirrups to remove the box and choke the dude , I tell them in advance I have PTSD on sedation I will happily play connect the dots on the ceiling , you put that box on me and I become a missile .

so This makes a new personal best 2 trips to COVID hell , our local hospital is running at 110% of capacity with COVID patients getting there wings I was there for 4 days and heard all the stat calls and codes for the CIU . it took 10 minutes from me coming thru the door to being told I was being admitted and a short wait of 11 hours to be moved to a room .

my blood turned to sludge ( way too thick ) pulmonary embolism ( blood clot and 3 rd cardiac infarction , woke me up from sleep in a memorable way . I am sure I wasn’t always the happiest patient but the nurses definitely appreciate when the worst feeling patients go out of there way to be great full for there care . Being a care giver isn’t easy at the best of times and that’s definitely not what’s happening now . So if you know a first responder please both say thank you and be willing to listen some of these people have lots of emotional pain from what they have experienced in last 2 years , at least try and be the difference for these people .

SAP, as a first responder your appreciation is, well, much appreciated. I think the fullest brunt in the medical field was to the nurses. Most are extraordinarily wonderful people. Not in the medical field but during the height of covid we also need to be thankful (it is Thanksgiving) to so many unnamed; grocery store staff, delivery people, sanitation workers…all those who continued to try and keep us functioning.

Hope y’all have a nice Thanksgiving!

I have had one or two embarrassing tests and events. One was when the hospital staff invites a bunch of Japanese students to watch my urinary test, where they fill up your bladder and see if you can hold it. Not a hope but it was strange being watched having a very long pee!!

But recently I had a knee replacement and as I have been inco (and a bit childish) for many years. (Yes, it is on my notes) I decided to wear Tykables ‘cammies throughout the event. Nobody said a word! But then I had to go back for a possible DVT scan and I had forgotten the appointment until the last minute and rushed to get there forgetting that I was wearing a Kiddo’s ‘lets build’ which are rather colourful. Added to that I was wearing dungarees which had to come off! The two girls doing the scan were very professional and made a suitable comment when I explained that I do not like ‘medical’ type nappies and prefered my undies to be a bit more colourful! I was rather embarrased to begin with but need not have been. Tomorrow I am off to the physio … what shall I wear? And yes, I always call them nappies and not some medical name which implies that I have an illness of some sort.

Nothing embarrassing but I had an EKG so I was naked on the top half anyway and they were keeping me over for a stress test the next day. The names of the nurse and her assistant were on the board but a different girl came in to place a pad on my back before letting me get in the bed. She told me to lower my pants in the back then said “you may as well take them all off anyway”. She gave me a complete skin check before allowing me to get in the bed.

Funny things that might embarrass others were the nurse saying “I know you, you're the crossing guard I pass every day”. At my age now, 82, there isn't much that would embarrass me. I figure we're adults now, we all know what the opposite sex looks like and my old man parts aren't anything special.

Last Tuesday, I had to go to the hospital for an X-ray of my left foot, following a work accident. After two hours of waiting, a nurse came to pick me up with a wheelchair to take me to the radiology department, she must have been in her fifties according to me, arrived in the room, the nurse took off my shoes and stockings, then the radiologist asked me if I could undress myself, and I could only keep my underwear, On these words, my face became very red and embarrassed, because I did not say that I was wearing a diaper and plastic pants, I answered right away but it is just for my foot, she answers me that it did not matter because for your x-rays, you will have to be just in this hospital gown, I told her it was ok, then the nurse lifted me out of the chair to take me into the small room to change me, and then she closed the door. The annoying part for me was having this blouse open in the back with just my slightly wet diaper and plastic panties, walking out of the room with every step I took to get to the radio table, you could clearly hear the rustling of my already wet diaper, the two nurses look at me with a little smirk, then one of them takes me by the arm to help me get up and lie on the radio table and then she says HO! But you wear protection and I see that it is well wet, but do not worry, I will change you after your x-rays, especially you should not be ashamed to wear protection, because we are used to seeing patients with their protection on a regular basis and even sometimes wet, then they turned around and I must have heard in a low voice that while you were taking these X-rays, I'm going to go get her a diaper. Finally, after my x-rays, I see the nurse with rubber gloves and in her hand a diaper from the hospital, I blushed, I told her she was just a little wet, she told me right away that she did not let patients stay their pee, it is for the hygiene of the hospital, so I turned my head away so as not to see what she was doing, She said first up the blouse then I felt her hands with her rubber gloves pull my plastic panties up to my ankles and take the tights off my diaper, then she tells me to lift my ass to remove the diaper, and asks me to lift them again so she can slide the clean diaper under my buttocks, then pull me up and adjust my panties over the diaper, after that she helps me to go to the small room to get dressed, then she tells me that it will take at least an hour for your X-ray results, and to add to the humiliation, she whispers in my ear, tell me that you are much better in your dry diaper, I answered timidly, I nodded YES, plus I find you very pretty and cute with your little translucent blue plastic panties. After an hour a doctor finally came to see me to tell me that I had nothing to break it was just a small dislocation in the foot and take a few days without putting pressure on it and everything will be fine in a few days of rest. This is all this humiliation for nothing😡. But I have to tell the truth that most nurses would never call it a diaper in front of us, except just between them.
