There have been a lot of germs going around in my house for the past month. This weekend my husband finally caught the ear infection and sinus problems that Ian and I both had. Since I have still been coughing like crazy we both made appointments to see our doctor. It turned out the appointments were back to back.
When I arrived at the office Chris' car was in the parking lot but he wasn't in the waiting room. They had already taken him back and it wasn't long before the nurse came to call me back. While I was getting weighed (shudder) she told me they were going to put me in the same room as my husband and that the doctor was already in there seeing him.
No big deal since we already know all of each others business anyway.
Once I got into the exam room however, I think they saw the error of their ways. While the nurse was doing the preliminary questions and vital stats with me, the doctor was trying to exam Chris. They kept getting into each others way since we were four people crammed into a room not much bigger than a closet. It started to look to me like two circus acts that kept getting in each others way.
The nurse would take my pulse and go to write it in the file, but the doctor was standing in the way checking Chris' heart and lungs. Then the doctor went to put Chris' prescription information into the computer and the nurse then couldn't get at the blood pressure cuff. After that the nurse had to make the doctor move so she could open the door to go and get the thingy to measure my oxygen levels.
I wish I could show you a video because it was really quite funny.
Beyond the tight quarters Chris was in a goofy mood and was using the exam table as his comedy night stage. One of my favorites:
Chris to doctor: Can I get a prescription to nap and play hockey [the video game] all day?
Doctor: Uh... (while he looks to me for a reaction)
Me: Nice try, Chris.
