One morning, a woman received an unexpected call from her gynecologist’s office, informing her of a rescheduled appointment for 9:30 am. With the clock already showing 8:45 am and a 35-minute drive ahead, she was pressed for time. Wanting to be presentable, she quickly freshened up using a washcloth from her bathroom.
Upon arriving at the doctor’s office, she was soon ushered in. As she settled on the examination table, she tried to distract herself by imagining she was far away in Paris. However, her reverie was interrupted by the doctor’s remark, “My, we have made an extra effort this morning, haven’t we?” She chose not to reply.
The day proceeded as usual until her 6-year-old daughter later inquired, “Mommy, where’s my washcloth?” When directed to get another, the child responded, “No, I need the one that was here by the sink, it had all my glitter and sparkles saved inside it.”
The realization hit the woman hard, and she mentally decided, “Never going back to that doctor again… Never.”
