too much information
SR (surgery resident): i heard you did went out last night.
MR (medicine resident): yeah.
SR: so, how was it, did you have sex with her?
MR: it was great. but no, i did not have sex with her.
SR: why? she was not pretty?
MR: no, not that, she was pretty, it was just that…
SR: that what…she did not invite you in for coffee or something?
MR: no, actually she did, but i didn’t go…it was not the right time.
SR: (sarcastric laugh that echoed through the whole unit)
MR: yeah, it just didn’t feel right…
i (and most of the staff RNs) overheard this loud conversation a few weeks ago, between two doctors who accidentally met in our unit because MR is referring a patient to surgery. it was barely 9 in the evening, and some visitors who do not follow visiting time, were just beginning to go out of patient’s room after saying goodbye to their loved ones. they had the most unusually shocked looks.
am i such a prude or is it normal to talk like this?
am i wrong to think this is a perfectly normal conversation if it happened in their locker room, or if it wasn’t so loud that we never heard the details?
are we supposed to be updated about doctors’ (or other people’s for that matter) sex lives even if we don’t really want to know?
i still feel embarassed everytime i see SR in the hallways.
well yeah, maybe i am a prude.
