Two weeks ago i started to experience problems with my throat, and my throat got worse over that weekend. So early last week i went to see a doctor over this. During my doctor's visit, a funny thing happened. After he had examined me and we started talking, he told me, and i quote, "Alright mr. Confidence. No sucking big dicks for a week". I just laughed at this and he went on to give me an actual medical diagnosis.
When i got home that night, i told my housemates (a couple of guys and myself rent a house) about what had happened. We all had a big laugh and they proceeded to crack jokes about the incident. In fact its been a constant running joke fest all of last week. However, yesterday, as the jokes were going around, the mood turned and took a serious note. One person started to suggest that i get a lawyer and sue. From then on they've all been telling me that i have a lawsuit on my hands if i want to pursue it, and that i SHOULD pursue it. That its easy money sitting on my lap at the moment. That he'll most likely settle out of court, and i am looking at an easy $20,000 at the minimum. I never thought anything of this incident, nor do i want to pursue any legal action. Even now. But my house is really pushing the agenda.
I mean, it was very clear to me that he (the doctor) was just joking around when he told me this. And to be honest i wasn't helping my case with the attire i had on when i went to the doctors appointment. I had on a tank top and shorts. Thigh length shorts so they were basically a short pair of shorts. (It's summer, and i have a habit of showing off my body). On top of that, the doctor himself is a gay man. Which makes taking such a comment a little easier than if it were a straight man calling me gay basically. And finally, i live in Seattle, Washington. Which is the gayest place to live second only to San Francisco, California. There is a large and strong gay presence in this city. And the state of Washington itself is very liberal and tolerant in many issues, especially social issues. I told my housemates that maybe i can take with me a recording device and secretly record him the next time i have a doctor's visit. But they advised that its not the best course to take. That i should just get a lawyer and proceed from there.
Anyway, i thought I'd bring this issue to smogoff for discussion because, you know, internet/keyboard lawyers and doctors are a tried and true method . And in todays times taking your issues to the internet for discussion with random strangers is a great way to gain different perspectives.
(Also feel free to use this thread to share any odd and funny experiences you've had with professionals of any field).
Alright, peeps, have at it!
