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.

Not really. Glad to hear things are improving.
ReplyDeleteNo, I feel like punching them.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, 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
Nope!
ReplyDeleteEeew no
ReplyDeletelizzy d
I must confess that no, the thought has never crossed my mind.
ReplyDeleteMaybe:)
ReplyDeleteNo never, and my eye guy is adorable.

Nope! Just you....
ReplyDeleteI have to say that is one of your more odd characteristics...Bel Ami
ReplyDeleteOnly 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!
You 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!
Never 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.
ReplyDeleteNo. NO!!!
ReplyDeleteNo, 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.
ReplyDeleteUmm... no ... but you are obviously a much more affectionate person than I am!
ReplyDeleteGod no! gigi
ReplyDeleteNo. I'm usually hoping I didn't miss a bogie or something.
ReplyDeleteYES!! 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.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd be more ready to karate chop. But that's me.
ReplyDeleteIt has never crossed my mind - but now it is in my mind. Luckily I didn’t have any appointments coming up.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteGlad it's not just me!!
ReplyDeleteThat me Jax
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…
I 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
ReplyDeleteOh 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.

Nope. I do have a real urge to begin waving my arms and yelling 'Purple circle. Purple circle!!!!'
ReplyDeleteA 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 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.)
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
No
ReplyDeleteNo, 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...
