Urology: Sorry, we’re busy. You can let go now!

The colonoscopy department would be like too, wouldn’t it?

most of the people who answer the phone for the colonoscopy dept are stuck up!

My wife’s 2 dogs who sleep in the bed are getting to the point where THEY have to get up in the middle of the night to Go.

I just wish they’d go at the same time I do. We’d all get more sleep that way.

Sometimes we don’t think about what we just said ;-)

oh this pi$$ed me off

Once when I called the Urology Dept., the the receptionist said the same thing and didn’t wait for an answer. When she picked my call up again and asked me what I needed, I told her “holding was my problem, I couldn’t pea easily”. When I came in for my appointment, she turned three shades of red with embarrassment and apologized again.

Yeah, you go in for lab work after being told not to drink or eat anything after 10:00 pm and are expected to give a urine sample…

Urine line to be answered.

Incontinence hotline, please hold.

No. I can’t hold. It’s urgent.

First belly laugh of the day, thank you.

no ma’am, I can’t. wouldn’t be calling if I could.

Always call AFTER a trip to the loo.

Some years ago, while my mother-in-law was receiving post-op care for breast cancer, I was charged with bringing her to one of her appointments for a mammogram. There I was, the only male sitting in the crowded waiting room, when I heard the receptionist tell a walk-in patient, “I think we’ll be able to squeeze you in…”.

For my colonoscopy last year (Dec 2021), I was asked if I had diarrhea. Without thinking twice about it, I said, “not yet”. Caught the nurse off guard and got a good laugh.

… just for a wee moment…?
