So today I had a hospital appointment - respiratory clinic. I was wearing fairly shabby clothes during the day and by they time the appointment came they were covered in baby food/snot etc. So I had spare smart clothes with me. I often wear smart clothes at hosp - I have (sadly) noticed a difference in how am spoken to and what it is perceived that I understand depending on how I am dressed and present.

I popped on a nice dress - not glam just a nice smart knee length dress. I was running late so changed in the car - loads of cars around but no people. Fine.

Go to clinic. Get spirometery and inflammation of lung tests done. Fine.

Go through to see the Dr and she is concerned about a few things so goes to speak to a consultant then comes back - my normal consultant was away.

She asks me to go on bed so she can examine me - fine.

It is only after she leaves the room again to see if the ecg department were still open that I realise my top is still inside my dress - down the back, like a hump. That was the exact bit she was at listening to my chest at. Fuck knows why she thought I had it down there.

I whipped it out and shoved it in my bag when she went out room and just never mentioned it. I am such an idiot!

Haha! I'm sure the Dr has seen worse! Mortifying though.

Gen35 · 27/05/2014 19:15

Oh really, although id be mortified i bet the dr barely registered it!

giraffescantboogie · 27/05/2014 19:18

I'm sure she has seen worse as in boils and stuff. But when you stick your hands down someones dress you don't expect a big pile of cloth to greet you...and god knows what it looked like from the back.

I love that she never said anything!

I was expecting unintentional nudity, fart in the face or similar. The actual thing isn't that bad

AnyoneforTurps · 27/05/2014 19:18

As a doctor myself, I'd say that wouldn't even register in the top 10,000 odd sights your consultant will have seen Smile. Don't give it another thought.

Can you claim it was a poultice?

I have been out with my knickers balled up in my jeans.

And with my bra hanging by a hook from the edge of my mucking out coat.

giraffescantboogie · 27/05/2014 19:22

It is like the glitter fanny story.

She is putting me on a new drug, if consultants agree and I have to go and meet her on the ward so she can go over it with me. Will double check my clothing before I go

once I was late getting this kids to school so i picked up my jeans from the day before thrown on the chair and the end of the bed) and got dressed quickly to run out the door. In the middle of the road my knickers from the day before fell out of one of the legs.

LOL! You and ikeaismylocal win top prize for embarrassing moment stories today. She was breastfeeding her tiny son on a train platform when the train pulled up unexpectedly, and the crowd surged forward to get on, so she took her son off, put him in the pram and got on, not realising her entire boob was still out.

giraffescantboogie · 27/05/2014 19:27

I worry about things like that happening. Especially if they were period pants.

OP it is not as bad as my consultant examination story:

Cons: right Mrs Peasant, can you just... Sorry, this is urgent, can you just undress and I'll be right through.

Me: obediently goes next door, takes off top and jeans, can't find gown, thinks hmmmm

Cons: Oh dear!

His voice from waiting room: I need a female chaperone NOW, NOW.

Me: Blush

At least you had too many clothes rather than too few.
