Have you observed or dealt with these @Luther12?

Had to inform a few male patients that the condom only goes on the shaft and should not be pulled down to include covering of the testicles.

I once had to use the word dick instead of penis because the patient did not know the proper term for his genitalia.

The nurse continually referred to my son’s penis as his “pee-pee”.

Not a Dr but a paramedic. During clinical time in the ER 17 yo girl came in with a bloody rectum/anus. Apparently she wasn’t wiping after using the bathroom and it was basically really bad diaper rash. So the nurse had to call social services. And explain to this girl proper wiping.

I’m a veterinary technichian. I once had to explain to a frantic client that the ticks she had frantically been trying to remove from her male dogs belly with tweezers were actually his nipples. I also told her she had an extremely well behaved, patient dog.

Had a lady measure her baby’s temperature by pre-heating the oven and putting one hand in front of it while the other hand was on the baby’s forehead. She told the nurse her baby’s fever was about 250 degrees.

Strange things all the time, ni vile yote hatuwezi kuyasimulia kwa sababu ya muda. But the one that really takes the cake, IMO, was one lady who did not know through what passage babies are born. She thought that some mysterious passage would develop during pregnancy through which the baby would come out at term. She was 24.

That client should be sued for both sexual harassment and animal rights violation:D:D
