I remember seeing a stunningly beautiful woman at the grocery store, and I looked in my cart and saw lactose-free milk, lactose-free probiotic yogurt, and ultra-soothing toilet paper. I’m sure she was impressed.
Giving yourself a pep talk in the car before even heading into the store, taking a few deep breaths, and clenching with everything you have while trying to look like you're walking casually.
Once went to a pharmacy because apparently one of my kids had pinworms. Which means we all had to take the medicine. Anyway, my wife and I figure that we should all take it the next day (can't remember the precise reasons, but it had to do with the fact that you have to take a second dose like two weeks later). This determination is made at night, so I have to drive up to the store to pick it up. I have four kids, so we needed to get two boxes of the stuff.
I don't think much about it until I approach the register area and I swear that management decided to schedule the best looking people to work that particular night shift. Everyone was hot. And here I am, like 10 o'clock at night, holding two boxes of butt worm medicine, suggesting that there's so pressing a need for this product that I had to get it right away...
You're doing a good thing by saying yes whenever they ask if you are okay having a student or fellow observe. Especially for those awkward visits, like a rash on your genitals or a colonoscopy. Those are our future doctors!
I had a nasty infection on my foot when I was younger, like full on pus-volcano type thing, it looked and smelled terrible. The city I lived in back then was one of the biggest teaching hospitals in the country, when they asked if students could come watch I said sure, of course! Next thing I know there was like a dozen of them in my room, taking turn prodding the pus-volcano with a stick, cleaning it out (extreme pain), and just overall commenting on it and leaning over it super close. I'm glad I helped their education but damn was it awkward especially since I was about the same age as them at the time if not a bit younger if I recall.
I can see how that would be very useful for them to see! I would try not to feel awkward about these things. Easier said than done, I know, but especially with those who have been practicing a while, seeing or hearing something "gross" or personal becomes very mundane to most medical professionals.
I went in to get checked for hemorrhoids when I was like 22 (spoiler alert, I did not have them). There were two college students shadowing the doctor. I was asked if I was ok with them being there. My answer was a firm "No, doctor, I would prefer that these two women my age do not see my butthole today, thank you very much"
I learned from my doctor about 2mos back that Loperamide(immodium) is fairly strong stuff. I had to get a Rx for something similar that could be taken multiple times a day where as immodium can only be taken like twice a week unless things are severe.
i'm sorry, it's a 2mg pill. with respect, i know people who were on approximately the equivalent of at least 100x that dose. daily. i find it difficult to think of it as "the strong stuff".
I have had Crohn's for 22 years. I am now on medication that has it controlled, it's wild. But I feel like I don't have the bowel strength for formed poops anymore! It's pretty exhausting going once a day. It's a whole event. Like a sloth.
actually, digestion is a surprisingly difficult task for the body. iirc the colon itself consumes like 20% of our calories(?) somebody correct me if i'm wrong here.
so it's quite surprising that it normally works so well.
