Do you have to go to a psych doc?

[Guest guest]

As part of MUSC's evaluation do you have to go to a pysch doc? I had a funny

experience with a psych doc I need to share. This was before I had my gastric

bypass, I had to go to make sure I didn't have any eating disorders before

they let me have the surgery. This is what happened!

The lipstick story:

I went to see the psych doc before my visit with Dr. Strickland. I was really

nervous because I had never been to one before. I was driving from Aiken to

Columbia and was rushing to get there. I was putting on lipstick while I was

driving. Well the lipstick broke. I didn't have time to look for it in the car

because I was running late. I got out at the office and didn't see it in the

floorboard so I just shrugged it off and went on in.

WEll, I go in to the receptionist who was a man. I get my paperwork and sit

down in the chair. There is only me and a little boy in there. I am filling out

my paperwork and they ask for my insurance cards. I get up and give them to

the guy and sit back down and that is when I look at the floor.

There are burgundy spots all over the carpet. Not little ones mind you! That

is when it hits me that looks alot like lipstick. I look at the bottom of my

shoe and guess where my lipstick went! It was on the bottom of my shoe! I

wanted to die! I wanted to crawl under the chair or run or something.

Well, I went to the receptionist and said excuse me but I have a problem. He

said what is it. I said I got lipstick all over your carpet. He looked at me

like I just got out of Bull Street!

He said " lipstick on the carpet. " I said yes! He said how did you get

lipstick on the carpet. Like I had been out there rubbing my lips on the carpet.

I

told him it was on the bottom of my shoe. He said How did you get lipstick on

the bottom of your shoe. By this point the man is backing away from me. I know

he thought I was loony!!!

I explained that it broke in the car and I didn't realize it was on my shoe.

He came out to look and said Oh my! This light blue carpet was covered in

burgundy spots not just in the waiting room but also in the entrance hall to the

front door. I was about to cry thinking these people or going to put me on a

thorazine drip in lockdown onthe psych ward of the nearest hospital.

Well, about that time the doc comes out and says what happened out here. When

I told her I got lipstick on the carpet she busted out laughing. I told her I

almost blamed it on the little boy but didn't think they would believe me

since he didn't wear lipstick. The doc was doubled over laughing.

When my evaluation was over and I came out the whole office smelled like

" goof off " that cleaning solvent. And they had the windows open because of the

fumes. I know that every time they walked in there and saw those spots they

remembered me. I knew I wouldn't have to wait for them to get my records in to

Dr.

Strickland! They would not forget!!! So I hope I don't have to go to a psych

doc when I go to MUSC because they probably have some record of me somewhere as

the crazy lipstick woman!!

Hope this gave ya'll a chuckle! It didn't me for a while but it is funny as

heck now!

Yep,

Kim that is me! I know they have a file on me somewhere. You could probably

do a google search on me and it would be there!!!
