Indiscreet

Boy you are not going tp believe this one!

So, I am uncomfortably sitting in the over-stuffed hospital chair, listening to the constant alarms going off.
Yeah, sleep is out of the question ...

Now a redheaded nurse walks up and starts talking to me ....
"I have your blood work up from last week's draw ..."

"Yes?"

"Now, you have significant inflammation indicators.  So, you are a good candidate for the study."

"Cool...."

She continues, "No Hep A, B, C, D, or F!"

(F? where heck did that one come from?!!?)

I notice several of the Filipino woman have wandered over and are listening.

She continues, "In fact you do not have any indicator for any sexually transmitted disease!"

I gasped!

How utterly indiscreet!

One of the women echoed many of the comments, but in Spanish,"Nothing?  He is clean!"

And the chattering was off to the races!

Now, the nurse realizes what she has done.
Turns redder than her hair.
And slinks off between the groups of women.

The real test would come next Friday ...

So, Friday came and I go through the usual squealing as I get stuck by needles four times.
I settled back to read an archaeology magazine.
And eight nurses and/or technicians kept interrupting my reading.
Finally it smoothed out to only two.

One I know is single and was overly very chatty.
However, the married one, was over the top with me!
She had put on false eye lashes and other such adornment as befitting a mighty hunter!
I kind of felt sorry for her.
Somewhere along the way she was taught that her self-worth is completely linked to her looks.
And ability to strike a pose.

Sigh
I run into women like her all of the time in this vacuous culture.
I would much rather have a discussion on the merits of Filipino life versus American ...
Not be forced to view her!
sigh ...

But then we all know I am not exactly a human....
Or an American male.

I just hope Friday's weirdness will not be repeated .....

As for yesterday?
Well, the big cahuna of the needle ladies, did me, hovered over me and drove all away.
:)
So, it seems it is now safe I think ......
