Some people are so judgemental about something that has nothing to do with them. Being differnt doesn't mean it's a bad thing.
Striving for acceptance.
so sorry mom, ididnt have on clean underwear, but i sure looked stunning in my red nails. the girls at the er said .oh yeah the nurse told me thank you for shaving my leg for her, it saved a little time for her. with a wink she was gone.
If you have an opportunity to talk to him in definite privacy, you might want to provide some support.
Think about it.
If you were definitely outed, and were laying there thinking about it, and someone came to you and offered some nice words of support, I'd bet you'd really appreciate it.
Thanks to everyone for your compliments. My wife decided I needed a new hair style after a little old lady said something to me in line at WalMart about passing a bit better if I had a better wig.
In addition, I have been in the medical field for more then 40 years. I know all about the kind of fines that can be imposed by violating HIPAA regulations.
I don't believe I have violated any.
I'm just trying to say that because of those same rules, you don't need to worry too much about going to the ER while not in Drab. That it doesn't bother the majority of the medical folks and those that it does bother will get over it eventually.
funny but true story.. I once had a girlfriend who came over. She had noticed I had watermelon in the fridge, asked if she could have some. Sure I said, at that moment the watermelon fell and broke her big toe. 6hrs at the hospital, all the dr's laughed.

I second the compliment Krysten. it makes you look younger.
I have been admitted twice in the ER and I was so sick, I didn't care who saw my under ware. I'm sure the nurses have seen about every thing.
Dear heart, I love your story and I feel that telling us about it can help should we have to visit the er/hosp.
Thanks and you look WONDERFUL xxx
Had an experience myself at ER. Was admitted to for an ECG had to remove my t'shirt to fit the electrodes. The shaved boobs and nipple rings must really have been a sight. One of the paramedics present even knows me (but has said nothing about it). Luckily no underdressing at the time. I could see the expressions on the nurses faces (a real Kodak moment) but nothing was said.

I would think the crazy places people get pierced would be a bit more shocking than a shaved guy or a guy in panties. The people that we all fear making derogatory comments probably do the same for people dressed in goth styles, heavy piercings, purple hair, etc... It goes for anything that is out of "their" ordinary. Ignore it and be yourself. Let them be miserable conforming to some "normal" they restrict themselves to.
I am getting really bold now everywhere but work. I wear heels almost all the time, even in guy mode (except work) and am typing this in 5" stiletto boots, pink panties, green plaid flair skirt, sweater top, bra and black wig. I didn't take the time to do makeup as I am not going out. Just waiting for the wife to get home.

Thank you, Krysten, for your account of this event and for sharing your new pic on your avatar. You look great!
I have worried that I will have an emergency some time when I'm out en femme, but I worry much less after reading these responses.
warmly, Linnea
I'm not so sure I agree with your first comment about the OCD, but I fully agree with the second comment. In fact, I would have taken it a bit further - 'at least it wasn't hurting anyone else, like her smoking was to others around her.'
good point!
smoking sucks, esp for folks like me who are alergic to the smoke and can't go half the places in public I'd like to go, just because it causes an ashma attack to be in the same room with someone who has smoke smell on their breath or clothes.
I had that same problem, until this: http://www.startribune.com/local/11606746.html so things are getting better, but so far, the bars still smell like smoke. I am very sensitive to it. So I just stay at home. It makes it rather hard to meet potential girlfriends. Also, they CANT be smokers, it makes it too hard to kiss them......
AND Kidneystones are the worst! But the hospital staff did not comment on my pantyhose!!!!

It would have made me frustrated seeing that and not being able to say anything. Too bad you couldn't make contact with him.
Since I live a long ways from nowhere, we don't often see folks after we ship them from our facility. Then because of all the federal regulations we seldom hear how they end up.
The wife sent a letter to the administrator telling him how happy they were with the service they received when her husband was brought into the ER.
She mentioned several folks by name and the CEO came around and thanked us all for the work we were doing.
It's amazing what a warm blanket can do.
It's even more amazing what a kind person can do. Good job sis!
I'm very surprised at that nurse. I can't believe someone in the medical profession would judge a patient like that. I've had friends who went in much weirder situations than shaved legs and painted toenails. Lots of athletes shave their legs, anyway!
I hope if the medical profession really is that close-minded I can help change things once I get there.

My red fingernails create a bit of a stir among the nurses and
doctors, but after reading Lacy Leigh's books, Let 'em look!
I'm sure they do many things I don't approve of.

Hi all,
As a health professional in charge of HIPPA for my office, I can say that as far as I can see, there has not been a violation here on the message forum. You can't link the story to any one person. No personal helath information was divulged, their anonymity has been preserved.
That being said. I think the incident is interesting, since it had nothing to do with why they were at the hospital! It also shows that there are some truly caring people out there, along with the traditional set of complete fools!!
Huggs to all,
Lisa Elizabeth
I can identify with this fear. I had my nails painted a beautiful metallic purple since the end of october (that's when i stop wearing sandles for the winter). I had an appointment for a physical coming up a couple of weeks ago and kept telling myself, "oh, they are professionals in very tolerant area of the city." Told myself that right up till the day of my appointment... the guess what.
I freaked cause I was out of nail polish remover and scraped and scraped.
Funniest part is... the doctor turned out to be quite nice, gay, and I swear I could see the imprint lines of lace on the but of his pants from lace panties.
Irony eh?
