How about back in consultant’s room for a “chat” after having two mammograms, ultrasound, biopsy and mag seed inserted and blood dripping through all clothing down onto trousers and having to go home in just a jacket and blood stained trousers? On very first appointment at breast clinic, one to remember.
nurses do get happy about the weirdest things!
Yeah I've walked out of the clinic with blood running down my arm before. Taxi driver did NOT like that lol (well if you will work the taxi rank at a hospital!). Now I take my own absorbent bandages along so that I don't have to go back inside and ask for one.
Definitely lack of hair I'm so proud I can pee straight now
Lying face down having your mri scan with your boobs free flowing through the table holes, supported by foam blocks when the nurse says, ‘can you just move up and inch?’ Er???? Then ensues some demented shuffling upwards worm movement which started a fit of the giggles that I just couldn’t stop, even the nurses were getting ‘over it’ but the more serious they got the worse I was.
