Awkward moments

Being a medical student is FULL of awkward moments...

Every medical student is required to learn how to give a physical exam. Each student had to recently give a breast exam. Five students crammed in a room, performing in front of each other. If you mess up a small part, you have to start all over.

A few days after, my husband runs into his breast exam lady in line at the grocery store. He says he had three options: awkwardly get out of the middle of the line and leave, say hi and then if she doesn't remember you than you have to spend time explaining why you know her, or just pretend you don't recognize her. He chose to just pretend he didn't recognize her.

The funny thing is, his awkward moment wasn't the only one. A couple of students have mentioned that they recently ran into breast exam lady too. Here's to awkward moments and many more to come...

Have you ever ran into your doctor outside of the hospital before??? Some friends shared some awkward moments with me. And now we know why doctors live in small towns outside of their practice!
