I had my annual gynecologist check up last week. I saw a male doctor in the practice. He is not the doctor I usually see but I was overdue and took the first appointment I could. This doc's bedside manner was a little weird or maybe I'm oversensitive.
He asked the general questions about my health. Then he started to do the breast exam. As he examined my breasts he kept saying, "Simply fabulous!" I know he was just talking about the lack of lumps in my breasts but I wanted to giggle like a 14 year boy. So who is the weirdo, me or the doctor?

He's the weirdo!!!!! lol That is way too funny though. Proper speak would have been, "Very nice, no lumps!" Or maybe just one "simply fabulous!" I have a male doctor and he just silently does the check and when he done he tells me everything is fine. :)
Um, that's a little inappropriate. Unless he has an accent or speech impediment? I saw a doctor who was examining me, listening to my heart and he kept saying "Big breasts! Big breasts!" And I started to get annoyed, because 1) inappropriate, and 2) I know already! Then I realized he had a very heavy accent and was actually saying "big breaths!" I felt very dumb after. :{
I would have had to laugh!
I might have responded with something inappropriate like...what's fabulous, my lovely lady lumps? LOL No, in all seriousness, I never see male doctors - it freaks me out.
I personally would have been flattered... after the creepy feeling wore off.
Simply fabulous? Are you kidding me?!? That's offensive and hilarious at the same time, but still...he must be reprimanded somehow. He can't just keep saying that stuff patients. Eww!
Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment on my post over at Our Mommyhood today. :) Have a great day.

He is totally the weirdo!
agreed on the "he's the weirdo" bit...whackado!
I once had gyno tell me "relax, you're making me feel like a dentist!"
The doctor is definitely the weirdo!
I've had a male gyn/ob and I was totally fine with that, but then if he had said, "Simply fabulous!" while doing a breast exam on me, I would've probably bolted out of there and never go back. Feels a bit too weird...
Simply fabulous? He's freakin' weird, but LMAO.
Oh my gosh, that is so freakin' funny but yet, bizarre!
yeah, um, that would be a little off-putting. Glad that he was happy about your boobs, but still...
P.S. Winn's comment totally cracked me up
I am also giggling now.
I had a gynecologist once tell me that I had a "nice, bouncy uterus." Well, doc, after two kids, I bet nothing is as bouncy as it once was....
hey...can I get your docs number?
I'm voting for the doc being the weirdo.
And my doc (male though I love him so) once told me that if my uterus was a golf course, the grass would be perfect and I shouldn't change a thing. (He was talking about vinegar/water cleanser).
Now *that* stole the words from my mouth. I cracked up and called the hubs when I walked out of the building.
