That's a damn good idea, Whacky. Don't even go near him until you have found out! And in the meantime you can give Bo a scratch behind the ears from me as well...

Re: Actually, your idea is a good one, but doesn't go far enough.
LOL, Pat, I know what you mean about those damn paper gowns! On the recent occasion I had to spend time at the hospital (detailed in my Truck vs Blogger series, might as well get a plug in here, lol), I flatly refused to wear them that way, but had them open in the front, which covered everything pretty well. I told them that I found it easier to defend myself against a frontal attack than against one on my exposed rear, and this is how it was going to be, LOL. What could they do? We got along anyway.
But if doctors have to be naked, I'm going to switch and get myself a female one...

Actually, your idea is a good one, but doesn't go far enough.
I think the doctor should be naked too, or at least dress in a paper smock that opens in the back -- level the playing field a bit, take him off that pedestal. Maybe then shy patients could remember the questions they came in with and the doc would talk in plain language.

Well, you could always withhold this information from him - I mean, it wouldn't be the first time, would it?

Good point, Corbin! I guess they hadn't thought of that! Typical! The single-track mind of the researcher...

Re: My doctor wears a tie. But he keeps it tucked into his belt.
Pat, just how old is your doctor? For the last fifty years or so, tie-wearing etiquette has been absolutely rigid on these points: no tucking in of ties, no tie clips...

Well, that makes sense. I think a man all gussied up with a tie and such is handsome. My husband hates them, but dutiful wears them when the occasion simply calls for them. He will use this to the inth degree. Good one.

My doctor wears a tie. But he keeps it tucked into his belt.
And he has a nice tie clasp to keep it close to his vest. But I still stick to this advice someone once said about doctors and doctoring: Find the best doctor you can find, and stay away from him. (or her)
