Enroute to a shopping center with my girlfriend, we drove by the medical facility where a few days earlier she was given a pre employment physical.
I pointed that fact out with a comment; “ You went there for your exam, right?”
“ Don’t remind me!” She said. “ I’ll never go back there and if my friends need a pre employment physical I’ll definitely tell them not to go there if they don’t have to!”
Curiosity gotten, I asked why.
She pretty much found the whole experience unpleasant and as delicately as she could explained about some of the the things she had to have done medically. Some she didn’t see a need for and one she angrily said, ending her gripe which she left out, but as a last remark, related it. The girl had a way with words and one hell of a delivery!
Not wanting to make her feel any worse I dropped the conversation, but one thing she said and the way it came out, I broke out laughing and damn near veered into another lane of traffic!
Her last remark…
“…and if anyone ever says, they don’t do THAT anymore; THAT , being some indifferent grumpy nurse coming into the exam room and shoving a rectal thermometer up your ass; tell ‘em to come see me! I’ll debunk that!”
This was the late 70s. I guess that’s no longer done. But all said, she was hired and was very successful in it.
