My last physical exam.
Here in the States many of us have a cheaper form of health insurance known as an HMO, or Health Maintenance Organization. Basically this means that you have to go through a bunch of layers of doctors to get treated, so that a General Practitioner can evaluate your condition and see if in fact you really do need to go bother the specialist.
The Primary Care office I went to was affiliated with one of the medical colleges as a teaching practice, so there were four older guys overseeing a couple dozen med students. As a result you could never really be sure who your doc was going to be, if it was to be an experienced doctor or the latest Doogie Howser.
So for my physical exam I set up the appointment with the doctor or one of his associates, and ended up with a tiny little gorgeous brunette running her hands over me and poking into my anatomy. When it came time for her to put on the gloves and squirt some lube on her finger, I found myself very grateful that it was a woman with tiny hands instead of the older guy with hands like a blacksmith.
Still, though, she could at least have bought me a drink first...
