Humorous warning

in Infertility

So when I went in for my ER today I had to answer a whole bunch of routine questions for the nurse and one of those questions was "how do you learn best?"

I answered that I am a visual learner. Well, when I woke up from anesthesia I had "6 eggs" written in the palm of my hand in ball point pen.  I'm thinking next time I'm going to answer auditory learner so they just tell me how many.

    Maybe it's because I'm a teacher that I notice- but I have seen this question on all my medical forms lately. I'd like to think they use it to find out better ways to communicate with patients, but somewhere in the realistic part of my mind I am thinking drug companies are curious as to what type of advertising works best.

     

    I thought it was pretty funny too, especially since this is done at a major hospital. Glad my husband didn't have any pictures on his hands showing that they were able to retrieve the sperm from his left testicle, although that would have been super funny.
