So I got my ultrasound appointment info by mail yesterday and noticed that it just said pelvic ultrasound. When I saw the original req it said Pelvic and Vaginal ultrasound. So thinking that the clinic had missed something, I phone the Diagnostics department to find out.
My conversation went a little like this:
Me: Hi, I'm calling to find out if I was booked for a just a pelvic ultrasound or a pelvic and vaginal ultrasound.
Clerk: Pardon? I can't hear you.
Me: ( a bit louder) I'm calling to find out if I was booked for a just a pelvic ultrasound or a pelvic and vaginal ultrasound.
Clerk: Sorry? I still can't hear you, there's construction behind me.
Me: (very loudly now) I'm calling to find out if I was booked for a just a pelvic ultrasound or a pelvic and vaginal ultrasound!!
Clerk: I'm so sorry, I didn't quite catch the last part.
Me: (almost yelling) Vaginal ultrasound!!!!
Right then I hear a throat clearing behind me and turn around to see my boss and her boss standing there with uncomfortable looks on their faces. Ummm, can you say awkward???
Worst of all? Had I just consulted Dr. Goo.gle, or talked to one of my co-workers I might have realized that a Pelvic ultrasound includes a vaginal ultrasound. Something it would have been nice to know before I made that call.....

That should be an SNL skit.
ReplyDeleteAwkward...but sounds like you're taking it with a good sense of humour.

ReplyDeleteOoops. Did they say anything? I'm sure they didn't mind too much.
ReplyDeleteomg that is funny... embarrassing as hell but funny
ReplyDeleteLOL....thanks for making me laugh!
ReplyDeleteOh man! I would be so mortified! Hopefully you moved past it gracefully. Thanks for the laugh!
ReplyDeleteOh no, chalk this up as one of the many embarrassing moments infertility puts us through. Hope you can laugh about it.
ReplyDeleteThere is NO reasonable behavior on the part of your coworkers except to pretend it never happened, even under interrogation.
ReplyDeleteYikes. That must have been fun.
ReplyDeleteThat gave me a good laugh, sorry for that. I would have wanted to crawl under the desk.
ReplyDeleteThat produced the first giggle in a while from me (sorry). It is easy to confuse though! I work in a hospital, getting precertifications for all outpatient procedures, so I learned that they were basically the same that way.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your supportive comment on my blog. I really need kindness like that right now :)
Yikes, how annoying.
