Appropriate attire

rick_chasey

Off to the doctors tomorrow. Apres work.

Question. Do I turn up in lycra?

No real option of changing when I get there.

Or is that a bit full on? Turning lycra'd and sweating.

clarkey cat

what type of doctor?

psychiatry?

Most doctor's ought to be impressed by your dedication, but it might depend on what your complaint is and if the doctor is likely to have to examine it.

As an aside I was in the doctor's the other week and met a neighbour who wanted to know what was wrong with me. She was quite insistent so in the end I told her that I'd always wanted a 9" penis. Her eyes widened as she exlaimed "Really?". "Yes", says me, "so I wondered if the doc could take a couple of inches off".....

Ha ha, no, it's re the aforementioned nosebleeds and other irritating things that I really should get checked out.

If I had that ailment, I would simply fold it into thirds.

I went to see my doctor about my kleptomania...

Take a chair, he said.

So, I call my local doctor and say "Are you my local doctor?", to which he replies, "Well sir, it rather depends upon where you're ringing from".

There is nothing inappropriate about turning up in lycra.

Providing of course that you don't wear trade team kits, national kit, Grand Tour jerseys or World Champion stripes.

You haven't earned the right to wear those.

I went to see my doctor, whats the matter he said.

Prodding myself on my knee, my toe, my head and my shoulder in turn I complained - it hurts everywhere I prod myself.

A broken finger, he diagnosed.

Lycra is a must. As somebody who eschews full lycra, I can tell you that cycling somewhere and then wondering around in normal clothing is a recipe for looking like an unaccountably sweaty mess and attracting looks of horror from passers-by. At least the presence of lycra explains the sweating.

During the summer I stopped off at a kebab shop on the way home to pick up dinner for the wife and me (I know how to treat a lady). A policewoman came in while I was waiting for my order, looked me up and down in a half-concerned, half-suspicious manner, and asked me if everything was alright. I think she thought I was a crystal meth addict or something. I just gestured wearily at my bike leaning against the window and she nodded, clearly relieved (albeit still slightly perturbed at the sheer extravagance of my perspiration).

I told my doctor of my insatiable appetite for snooker balls. “Last night for instance I ate 6 reds, 4 blacks, 2 browns and a yellow. This morning for breakfast I had another 3 reds, 2 blues and a pink”

“That’s your problem”, said the doc, “not enough greens”…..

Bibs under or over jersey?

I went to the Doctor's last week...

Doctor I said, "I can't stop singing Tom Jones Songs".

He replied, "that's not unusual".

I phoned NHS Direct recently... 'I've been feeling like a pair of curtains' I complained.

'Pull yourself together!' they barked, unhelpfully.

I went to the doctor with a cucumber up my nose, a carrot in my left ear and a banana in my right.

The doctor reckoned I wasn't eating properly.

I was hoping that this was going to turn into a joke... :roll:

Mind you.....I was hoping that for very other post in this thread....

Though my blood pressure is perfectly normal now, it used to be excessively high (the wonders of getting fit again!) and my doctor still insists on me popping in for a check up every 3 months. She does early morning (7:30 onwards) appointments so I usually drop in on the way to work in full lycra... this doesn't seem to phase her one bit... throws the receptionists though, every time!

Whyever not? Do it.

I always go to the GP in lycra, buggered if I'm going to walk all the way there and all the way back and then get on the bike to ride to work...

I wouldn't dress in lycra just to see the doc, but if I was wearing lycra anyway, I wouldn't bother changing.

I went to see my doctor the other day because I had a steering wheel stuck down my trousers:
"Doc, you've got to help me. It driving me nuts!"

I went to the Doctor and said 'I've hurt my arm in several places'

He said well don't go there anymore.

I do wear my lycra to the dentist. He quite likes bikes too so always asks me where I've been riding, where am I going etc.

Never very good at maths were you Greg, what you meant to say was times it by 9

You should make a point of stuffing an item of fruit down the front of your bib shorts, just for the ladies.

Actually went to the doctor the other day complaining about some days after riding i felt like a teepee and some days felt like a wigwam.

He told me not to worry too much, i was just too tense.

So, how did it go, Rick?

I'l let you know.


Within reason.

A young women visited her eye doctor complaining of failing eyesight.
The doctor sat her in front of a standard eye chart.

Doctor: “Can you read the bottom line?”
Girl: “No.”
“Can you read the centre line?”
“No.”
“Can you read the large top line”
“No.
“Can you even see the chart?”
“No.”
The doctor is clearly frustrated and whips his penis out of his pants. “Can you see this?”
“Of course!”
“Well, there’s your problem – you’re cock-eyed!”
