'm going in for a colonoscopy in 2 hours, and the nurse from the clinic just called to politely ask me to arrive clean. You guys will appreciate this awkwardness I have a colonoscopy coming up and you know that means a full prep day involving a whole lot of time in the bathroom. I was already stressed out about the procedure itself but then 1 got a call from the clinic nurse. She called just to politely remind me to wipe front to back and to thoroughly clean my butt area before I arrived. I was immediately so embarrassed and asked why on earth she had to call me for that. She said they have had a huge influx of people showing up unclean in the last few months so now they are making phone calls to remind people. I understand why they have to do it but that confirmation that people are seriously showing up unwiped for medicakshowing up unwiped for medical procedures is absolutely horrifying. I am glad I don't have that iob. I took twa showers ust out of pure anxiety and shame after that call #Hygiene #AwkwardMoments #Healthcare #TMI #Cleanliness #MedicalHorrorStories #Health
