It's a pretty common general cliche saying. It's used often. I've heard it often and use it myself in general when writing papers and letters and such. You isn't a specific you in this saying. It's a generic saying.

I'm kinda surprised you've never heard this used before.

I honestly also got a similar impression as Jeff and littlewonder, EsotericLady. What I believe (and correct me if Im wrong) that Lynnzx was saying was that medical professionals are used to seeing some pretty freaky shit during the course of a day. You arent a special snowflake just because you are a kinky individual coming to the ER. In fact, you'd probably be considered downright tame and vanilla compared to some of the weird and off the wall things people do to, insert into, or use to impale themselves. Just because a kink identified individual rolls into the ER with a problem, it does not automatically brand them with the Scarlet F (for freak).

WOW! What did I deserve to get THAT remark? LOL

I don't think I am any "special snowflake" when it comes to anything! And the scenario I described is NOT because I have experienced it myself.

Contrary to popular opinion, you are not, in fact, a special snowflake, and they have seen it before.


Just explain items of concern as they pop up, and no one will care.

Ha, sorry, it's the generic 'you'. Not directed at anyone in particular.

Ok. I once went to a new gyn and while having blood drawn in the Lab Tech's room, struck up a conversation with a really attractive man in a lab coat. I was flirting, and smiling, and he was smiling back and maybe flirting a little, I thought. The nurse comes in, takes me to the exam room. Naked, stirrups, whole nine yards, and that's when I hear "Ah, so we meet again!" In the space of five minutes, I went from flirting with what I thought was a lab tech to Dr. McDreamy up to the elbow in my shaved coochie. And this was before shaving became quite so popular. I've never been so embarrassed, and I had to find another doctor. I don't know WHAT the hell I would have done had I had a few decorations down there.

I didn't SAY it automatically branded someone as a "freak."

I merely asked how people handle/explain/deal with/ whatever you wish to call it the physical alterations they may have when exposing them in a medical situation.
When I've used a public restroom in a hospital setting, there are pamphlets there and signs in regard to domestic abuse. Consequently, I wondered if people were questioned about bruisings, cuttings, etc.

I mean it really appears to be a very easy, legitimate, and simple question to answer.

Instead, it's turned into a lesson in "snowflakes" and remarks insinuating that with some thought, it should be OBVIOUS how things are handled.

(I would like to thank the few people who were actually nice enough to answer my simple question with a decent, informative answer. )

You asked a question. People answered your question. Yet you felt the need to rip into people anyway because they didnt answer your question in your preferred manner? Doesnt seem very fair, but whatever floats your boat.

She was just saying that medical care has seen it all so they are not going to see you as something different from what they've seen before. you're just another number in the work of the day.

medical staff are usualy very nice in most circumstances, i've recently noticed my medical fetish incresing and i had to go to the docs for a colonoscopy, the nurse left the room telling me to losse my trousers and i started getting hard straight away, ass soon as i was on the table with a thin piece of material over my groin i was rock hard, the nurse was fantastic about it, she could tell i was a little embarrised and managed to not notice it :-)

p.s, the colonoscopy was pretty nice too ;-)
