Eye Hospital appointment today made bearable by professional care, a great consultant and a meeting with fellow patient Mo who is the leader of the village Friendship Group.
I had several scans which shows the bleed in my eye improving
But does anyone else feel like this ? When the doctor , or nurse or technician is scanning my eyes so close up and intimate like , I suddenly have the real urge to kiss them.
Am I unique in feeling this way?
Answers on a postcard
Oh no, I would never felt the urge to kiss someone going near my eyes!!!! My urge would be something between need to run away to scream my lungs out to try to hit that someone with anything heavy enough. I hate and fear someone touching my eye... (and to be honest, I don't want to be near or to be touched by anyone if not a child or an animal. Yes, I'm in the spectrum.
ReplyDeleteBut I sense a relief in your writings, such a heavy load has been lift off your shoulders. Can't wait to meet your next resque, when it is time.

I feel so much lighter
DeleteNot really. Glad to hear things are improving.
ReplyDeleteTry it Dave x
DeleteNo, I feel like punching them.
ReplyDeleteI do when the needle appears
DeleteSometimes, yes, but I have had occasions when their halitosis has put me off the idea. Garlic breath isn't a good fit when you have to get up close and personal!
ReplyDeleteGlad the eye is improving. xx
I always use mouth wash and the usual Clinique happy
DeleteNope!
ReplyDeleteπππππππππ
DeleteEeew no
ReplyDeletelizzy d
lolπππ
DeleteI must confess that no, the thought has never crossed my mind.
ReplyDeleteBut now, it lives rent free in yer head
DeleteMaybe:)

Pucker up ceci
DeleteNope! Just you....
ReplyDeleteNot half a dozen people here so far
DeleteI have to say that is one of your more odd characteristics...Bel Ami
ReplyDeleteAnd you know me well old friend x
DeleteOnly once, when I was in my 20s and I quickly squelched the thought.
ReplyDeleteAfter I was married, I was kissed at work by 3 different doctors on 3 occasions when I was not a willing participant. Inappropriate, but in those long ago days it wasn't reported.
Hugs!

DeleteYou are only unique in admitting to it!
ReplyDeleteOr...perhaps you would like to come with me to an appointment with my very dishy young Asian Specsavers person and we'll see what you feel then?
On the other hand, having a much better experience this time, with a positive diagnosis does send a rush of - adrenalin, oxytocin, testerone or something - to the brain and elsewhere.
Welcome it. Means you are not only still alive, but punching your weight. Yay!
Nicely put liz …I am unique
DeleteNever that I can recall. having had several eye operations in latter years as well as regular opticians appointments. I think I just might get that temptation if it was someone I fancied but so far no.
ReplyDeletePucker up Raymondo
DeleteOh, it doesn't get me 'down' at all - it's just summat I've never felt.
DeleteNo. NO!!!
ReplyDeleteπππππππππ
DeleteNo, I just want to escape. There are very few people I feel an urge to kiss, which says more about me than the people I meet.
ReplyDeleteI have the urge often , shows my desperation
DeletePutting my hand up, it has crossed my mind, but only once, and we are NOT desperate! Libs xx
DeleteThanks libs x
DeleteUmm... no ... but you are obviously a much more affectionate person than I am!
ReplyDeleteI think I am lol π₯°ππππ️π️π️π️
DeleteGod no! gigi
ReplyDeletelol ok ok it’s not mandatory
DeleteNo. I'm usually hoping I didn't miss a bogie or something.
ReplyDeletelol, I always splash on Clinique Happy
DeleteYES!! Even though I’m in my 70’s my physician is an attractive man and a few times during an examination I have to fight back the urge to kiss him.
ReplyDeleteNumber five π₯°π₯°π₯°π₯°πππππ
DeleteI think I'd be more ready to karate chop. But that's me.
ReplyDeleteOh me when the injection comes out
DeleteIt has never crossed my mind - but now it is in my mind. Luckily I didn’t have any appointments coming up.
ReplyDeletePucker up πππππ
DeleteI haven't had that urge but I do always have to check myself to not say "love you" when I'm ending a phone call. That's what I say to my kids every time I hang up; I know one day I'm going to say it to the plumber or someone equally inappropriate.
ReplyDeleteNow this made me laugh out loud
DeleteGlad it's not just me!!
ReplyDeleteThat me Jax
DeleteNumber four
DeleteYes! I have felt this at the dentist’s, when they lean in so close their leg is touching mine.
ReplyDeleteI’ve never heard anyone else talk about this – – but it must be a thing, even if a minority thing…
Another one that’s three of us
DeleteI have a full body skin check every six months at my dermatologist's because I had a melanoma a long time ago. Once, when he was gently running his fingers down my arm as he looked at it intensely, I almost blurted out "That's the most action I've gotten in years." haha
ReplyDeleteMe too
DeleteI loved this story too
DeleteMy doctor would have laughed along with me. He has a good sense of humor. We have a running joke about how a large benign mole on my hip could be used for "identification of the body" if need be. And that paper gown they give you to preserve some of your sense of modesty? That ship sailed a long time ago. I pretty much discard it right away.
DeleteThank u x
DeleteOh dear. Just under a year ago. In my defence, I am a lonely old widow lady who was actually sixty-thirteen years old on that very day, I was in hospital and had passed what should have been my golden wedding anniversary six days previously, and a lovely nurse helped me to shower. I was sitting, and as she bent to wash my feet, I’m afraid gratitude and emotion got the better of me and I kissed the top of her head. I did explain myself as I thanked her, and she kindly said she understood.
ReplyDeleteGod bless our understanding nurses.
Jude (decloaking on your wonderful and much loved blog)
Oh Jude that’s quite lovely x just lovely
DeleteNope. I do have a real urge to begin waving my arms and yelling 'Purple circle. Purple circle!!!!'
ReplyDeleteWtf
DeleteWhat’s purple circle ?
"The purple circle on the Intersex flag symbolizes wholeness, completeness, and potential," tho I still don t see the context/ reference?
Delete"The purple circle on the Intersex flag symbolizes wholeness, completeness, and potential," tho I still don t see the context/ reference?
DeleteLovely thank u …I get it
DeletePurple circle years back, symbolized your comfort zone. It is (was?) a protective thing. Telling someone they were in your purple circle meant 'Back Off'. I see it has a whole nother meaning now. Once again I have proved that I am not cool.
DeleteLove that
DeleteA young neurologist I knew(he looked much younger than his stated age and grew a mustache to look closer to actual age). One time he was examining a patient’s eyes with a light and very close to the patient. She said “do people ever kiss you when you do this exam? He was young enough he still blushed when he told this story.
ReplyDeleteI’m not the only one then lol thank the lord
DeleteI wonder if it ever happens? I bet it does!
ReplyDeleteI belatedly realized I didn't answer your question. When I was in my early 20s I went to a young dentist, not much older than me, and I only ever saw him with his mask on. So I could only see his eyes and nothing else. I developed a little crush on him based on those blue eyes but then I finally saw him without his mask and he didn't look at all like I imagined. LOL! (Sad trombone.)
DeleteOh, the fantasy shattered
DeleteI don't have this with doctors, but I did have a better-than-anticipated session at a dental office and jumped out of the chair afterward, asking the dentist if I could hug him in relief. Also, not quite on topic, but as a 74 yo woman who chooses not to be in a relationship, I can be totally knocked out by kissing scenes in movies, much moreso than heavy sex scenes.
ReplyDeleteNina
Steady Nina steady!
DeleteMe too, Nina! Although I wouldn't have thought of "knocked out" to describe my reaction to kissing scenes, it works. And I admit, I respond more to them than to sex scenes. Go figure.
DeleteLol
DeleteNo
ReplyDeleteThat’s ok π
DeleteNo, here too. I can see why it happens though. There they are, just inches or less from your face, gazing at you with such focus and interest...

DeleteMy husband has wet AMD and he has to have an injection in his eye every 24 days. This has been going on for over a year! The retinologist never gets up close to look in his eye, it is done by machines with all the images coming up on the computer. When he gets the freezing and the injections the chair is slightly tipped back and the dr. stands behind the chair and does the injections from there. No baby blues to look into,lol. Same when we go to the optician for our annual checkup, all done by machines.
ReplyDeleteI liked that the consultant actually checked my eyes himself ( after the scans were done)
DeleteNo kissing but I fondly remember a handsome young lab tech holding my hands in his to warm them up before doing a finger prick blood test. Bliss.
ReplyDeleteMr Darcy !π©·π
DeleteI've never had a doctor that I even remotely felt like kissing. They likely felt the same way about me.
ReplyDeleteYou haven’t lived
DeletePervert!
ReplyDeletelol
Lee
Twat xxx lol
DeleteLOL. I’ve never had the urge myself, but I have wondered if anyone ever has.
ReplyDeleteSeven followers feel the same lol
DeleteMy ex husband is an eye care professional. Next time I see him I ll ask him if anyone ever kissed him or ''made a move''/ flirted. Maybe now he'd admit it?
ReplyDeletelol I hope it wasn’t me lol
DeleteBut how fun!
DeleteLol
DeleteI was almost in tears at the amazing work done to replace a lost front tooth so did ask my dentist if I could give him a hug, he gave me a lovely bear hug with no embarrassment by either of us. When in my mid-forties a colleague was too close and asked if he could do anything for me, my reply was ‘kiss me please’ and we did and from there ensued two intense sensual/sexual years - whew am sweating just remembering himπ₯΅.

ReplyDeleteYou fast cat
DeleteJohn, you have no idea of the things I have done on impulse, the public persona screams ‘school teacher’ but the very private personal life is kept under wraps with secrets but no lies ever, think the Sphinx or Mona Lisa!! Jan
DeletePlease share lol
DeleteLook out for responses to your blog, share and share alike. I’d like to think that I have lived a life to relay to people without embarrassing me or them, no children or family so you will be my confidante. Jan
Deletelol lovely
DeleteDefinitely not tempted to kiss anyone like that. However, I did have a few problems years ago when writing a note to the milk man . Extra pint please. xxx The number of notes I had to write just to stop putting those damn kisses on.
ReplyDeleteYou tart
DeleteMy mind wanders when I've been lying sideways on a hospital gurney with a male doctor standing in front of my face, and when my hand is on the arm of the dentist's chair and he is bending over me. So close but so far.
ReplyDeleteSteady
DeleteYou are unique but not in this regard. π
ReplyDeleteIdol I will take that x
DeleteThis post was worth it for the comments alone!! :)
ReplyDeleteAmen I so agree, blogger goes like this sometimes, when a simple post makes for the most interesting
DeleteMaybe you should try it; but you'd probably be arrested.
ReplyDeleteI’m going to
DeleteIn my 20s, I had been given nitrous oxide during dental work and was feeling loopy. And then suddenly paranoid: Was I clutching the armrest of the chair... or the dentist's knee? It was very difficult to nonchalantly move my hand, especially under the influence.
ReplyDeleteIn my youth, we had a very homely dentist with lame jokes, a hissing laugh, and the largest nostrils I have ever seen. Seriously, you could see all the way to China in those nostrils. I honestly think they shouldn't have accepted him into dental school: "you'll frighten small children."
So, no kisses, but a possible knee grab! haha

I think Bonnie deserves "best response" award!
DeleteI agree Jackie , I love when the comments out lass the post
DeleteTotally get that urge John! It's somehow not attraction but a reflexive impulse.
ReplyDeleteNumber 9
DeleteWith me, it's more a rush of a sort of "trust" feeling where I feel they are truly trying to help me and I am glad. Am concentrating so much on trying to make myself calm down and be still for the eye examinations that I could only think of that.
ReplyDeleteI was once being rushed to theatre after some time in hospital and was terrified and tearful. The registrar and team were there and I had been seeing them every day for 3 months. So when he stood by to speak to me I put out my hand to him like a child and he took it for a moment and I was reassured and calmed. They must be used to moments like that from patients.
A good bit of doctoring
DeleteI thought I was the only one to feel that urge
ReplyDeleteNumber eight
DeleteThat's an interesting and very human reaction. I've never heard anyone put it into words quite like that before, but I can definitely see where it comes from. It's a combination of being vulnerable and trusting someone completely with something so delicate, and the physical closeness that comes with a medical procedure like that. It’s like a subconscious reaction to the care they're giving you. I imagine it's a very unique feeling, and you're probably not alone in it.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I just put up a new post. Feel free to check it out at www.melodyjacob.com.
I love that pink frock
DeleteNo, but the eye doctor I used for years looks like a troll! lol
ReplyDeleteThat reduces the chance of a pucker
DeleteNever felt this urge but totally understand those who do π

DeleteNot remotely the same but when I was learning to drive my driving instructor changed cars so I would get used to driving different ones. When I went to change gear I accidentally grabbed his knee... I was very young and was absolutely mortified... he laughed it off but I've never forgotten the embarrassment, it makes me blush just talking about it!
