30 Something Baby Doc

The following incident occured when I was a 2nd year resident.

I was admitting a patient for active labor, she was a very pleasant 21 year old black female. I needed to perform a pelvic exam to access how her labor was progressing. I walk in the room with the nurse , introduced myself to the patient and family and put on a pair of gloves. The nurse helped me to put the patient in the lithotomy position (legs spread). At this time the patient's boyfriend along with 2 of his friends walk into the room (and I have to admit they look very thuggish). The boyfriend ask the patient, " where's the women doctors!" The patient replies, "this is Dr------, and he is very nice"

I proceeded to put my hands in the patient's vagina to examine her dilation. The boyfriend start to lament, " Ahhhhhh...that's wrong.......shit, man .....ahhhhh...that's wrong" I finished examining the patient, turned to the boyfriend and ask him politely what the problem was. He shouts, " Motherfucker how would you like someone puttin their fuckin hands in your girl's shit!!!!!!!!!!"

I paused a moment, thinking of some sharp comeback ....like, "you better shut the hell up before I put my foot in your shit"

But I opted to have the nurse calmly and quickly escort me from the room:-)
