Once when I called the Urology Dept., the the receptionist said the same thing and didn’t wait for an answer. When she picked my call up again and asked me what I needed, I told her “holding was my problem, I couldn’t pea easily”. When I came in for my appointment, she turned three shades of red with embarrassment and apologized again.
Some years ago, while my mother-in-law was receiving post-op care for breast cancer, I was charged with bringing her to one of her appointments for a mammogram. There I was, the only male sitting in the crowded waiting room, when I heard the receptionist tell a walk-in patient, “I think we’ll be able to squeeze you in…”.
For my colonoscopy last year (Dec 2021), I was asked if I had diarrhea. Without thinking twice about it, I said, “not yet”. Caught the nurse off guard and got a good laugh.

My wife’s 2 dogs who sleep in the bed are getting to the point where THEY have to get up in the middle of the night to Go.
I just wish they’d go at the same time I do. We’d all get more sleep that way.

Yeah, you go in for lab work after being told not to drink or eat anything after 10:00 pm and are expected to give a urine sample…
