Well, what did you expect?



As my date is fond of saying, "When you go to a barber you get a haircut." In my line of work, if you are a man there is a better than average chance you will get a prostate exam. I have nice small fingers, use lots of lube and give my patients a choice of me putting on either pink or blue gloves for the exam.




My fingernails are short for your comfort.





Still, I have heard a lot of creative excuses why a patient does not want to have an exam. Maybe they think they about to get into some kind of unpleasant adventure.




FOR EXAMPLE:





"My other doctor just checked it"





My reply: Did he use my finger?






"Do I have to take off my pants?"

My reply: Well, it will be a very limited exam if you don't.


(What part of this request is not clear?)





"Do we really have to do this? I feel like I am with my mother"

My reply: I hope you do not routinely take off your pants with your mother.


"Sorry, it's not as big as it usually is"

My reply: Don't worry, this is not a date.


"Is my penis normal size?"

My reply: Yes.


My thoughts: For a mouse it is.


"Why do I have to turn my head to cough?"

My reply: So you do not blow green loogies into my hair.


" I have to warn you that I shave down there"

My reply: It is generally not necessary unless you look like Sasquatch, but it is a common trend in younger men.


I have gotten pretty tired of having to cajole grown men into letting me examine them. After all, they are in my office because THEY called and made an appointment. I did not stand out beside the exit ramp of a highway with a cardboard sign.



So I bought a pair of shoes for work that give me an authoritative look that says,

“Bend over bitch, your ass is mine”




I think these would make you obey the Mistress immediately.
