Patients Reveal the Most Awkward

My husband started to smell really bad… I mean, REEK. I made an appointment for him with the urologist and decided to go with him for support. He went into the doctor’s office and the doctor closed the door.
Five minutes later, the doctor comes out and his face turns red when he sees me. Doc (barely holding back laughter): You might want to go in and see for yourself.
Me: ‘Doctor, what’s going on? Why are you laughing?’ Then my husband comes out.

Many people dread hospital visits, but health issues often leave us no choice. Unfortunately, not every doctor’s appointment goes smoothly, leading to awkward or surprising moments.
