Every year, the doctor tells me I need to try to put on some weight. During this year's checkup, I broke out the Yoda:
"Do. Or do not. There is no try."
I totally bombed and doc didn't even crack a smile before breaking into his usual spiel about MEGA MASS 4000.

28 years old. Getting my tonsils out. My mom managed to bully her way into my waiting room and refused to leave while the nurses were doing their prep work. And looked at my chart. And thats how my mom found out I'm taking an anti-depressant.

Not a doctor directly, but when I was having a bit of my booty removed due to some ingrown hair, the anesthetics nurse (who wasn't present during the process, thank god) was a girl which I was in 5th grade with and which left our school and I didn't see her until that day 7 years later.
It was quite awkward, but then I had a little chat with her, she was pretty nice :).

It was a resident in training. A female resident. She had to ask me about personal questions about habits and lifestyle. One of the questions went something like: "What kind of relationships do you have? Do you have relationships with men or with women?"
For some reason, I answered "with men" then I looked at her in horror and deep embarrassment and answered "with women, with women! Why did I say that?" I was so embarrassed...She was very professional and didn't really acknowledge what had happened, not even a reaction.
