SubvsSlave -> Locked collars and doctor visits (1/27/2014 12:40:45 PM)

Hello everyone,
I had an amusing incident that happened to me last week. I've been battling the crud for the past few months. Everyone in the personnel section that I work with have been passing it back and forth. Master and I have been passing it back and forth. The phlegm (so yummy) was getting worse and my chest was starting to really hurt.
So last Monday I called the doctor's office and was able to get a same day appointment. I saw the doctor, she listened to my chest, and said she wanted me to get a chest x-ray. My doctor's office is a full fledged medical center and the x-ray department was downstairs. I head downstairs and am sent to a changing area and told to take the top half of my clothes off and then put on the hospital gown. As the nurse was shutting the door she said I also had to remove all jewelry. Uh-oh. Uh, Ma'am, I can't take off my "necklace". She didn't understand what I was saying. She said, no, just go ahead and take it off and place it in your purse. I can't. It's locked. It's locked? With what? A small screw and I don't have the tool to unlock it. What is needed to unlock it? A teeny, tiny Allen wrench. Oh, well I can call our service man and see if he has that tool. (In my mind all of a sudden I see the whole service crew huddled around me going, well will you look at that, we don't have an Allen wrench that small Ma'am, perhaps we can try to cut it off. All the nurses and doctors in the background, clamoring around to get a glimpse.) How about if I just hold it up, while you take the x-ray? No, you have to have your arms placed a certain way. Nurse: I can try and tape it up to your neck. Me: Really? You don't mind? Ok, let's try it.
So off we go into the x-ray room where she tapes my collar to my upper neck and cheek, up at the nape of my neck. Thank goodness it kept and we were able to get the pictures taken. Afterwards, she helped take the tape off. It was stuck to my hair in the back.
All in all, it was by far the most awkward doctor's visit I have ever had. I do have to give the nurse credit, she was extremely professional throughout the whole thing. A very good sport overall.
Lesson learned: I am now carrying the spare key with me at all times.
Master and I had quite the chuckle over the whole ordeal.
Has anyone else experienced similar situations?
