I had to have bone marrow removed to try to explain my low white blood and platelet count. Realizing that a needle would be inserted in my lower pelvic region and that this would clearly require some skin exposure, I wondered if I should wear my sole pair of men's underwear-satin like poly boxers. No, why should I care so I wore my everyday wear Vanity Fair black nylon briefs.
I was instructed to lie on my side, had my blue jean shorts unsnapped, down went my shorts and panties. I couldn't see Amy's (the Nurse Practioner-think that was her title)face for any reaction. Naturally nothing was remarked, just chit chat while she dug into my bone marrow (with numbing medications and a shot of lydocaine (?) didn't feel much).
At 65 I don't feel I have to be ashamed to wear comfortable nylon briefs. I would have likely been more self conscious with a male nurse, but I am sure they have seen it all before and just want to do their jobs as professionally as possible.
Have others had MD office experiences and observations to share?
