Some years ago, while we were on vacation in a U.S. city, my wife, 24 at the time, came down with a sore throat we thought it might be strep. I drive her to a hospital clinic to have it checked out. She expected just a strep test.
She did have strep as the test indicated and she she came out with a prescription for an antibiotic. As we drove to a drugstore she looked kind of flushed to me, but she also had a half-smile as though she was thinking of something funny but was trying to hide it, if I'm being clear here.
When I was eventually able to get her to share the humor with me she told me the doctor she saw was a young guy, probably a resident physician. After looking in her throat and swabbing it for the test, he suddenly took out his stethoscope and asked her to remove her shirt, so she did.
After he started using his stethoscope on her chest he stopped and asked her to remove her bra, too, which she did. He was red as a beet and seemed nervous as he continued with his stethoscope, even stuttering a bit as he told her there was no problems except for her throat.
She knew he had made her take off more than was absolutely necessary, but she was not angry. She was more amused than anything else, and enjoyed seeing how he was blushing and stammering as he spoke to her.
We both chuckled when we read the post above and recalled what had happened so many years ago.
