I did not witness this but it was told to me by a nurse who did. I can just see it now.
One morning a patient had been scheduled for a Colonoscopy. This was before the days of fiberoptics and the snake like flexible tube they use today.
The patient was already set up for the procedure on a table designed for that purpose. The patients head was tilted a bit down and the table allowed for the patient to be in a kneeling position.
The patient had been draped and sedated so the only thing showing was his rear end.
The Doc came in and took one look at the exposed derriere and exclaimed, "This is not my patient!"
A quick check of the ID band confirmed this to be true .
Now, just how the Doc knew this wasn't his patient by just looking at the exposed buttocks, I will never know.
I guess if you do that for a living you just know whose is whose, and what is what.
Enjoyed this write my friend, such an embarrassing test, had to have one last year. I remember waking from the anesthetic hearing the doctor and nurses discussing music, I vaguely remember commenting that I thought that particular group was a waste of time! I was even unsure that I had made this comment until I went for the follow up exam and he commented with a smile that I chattered their ears off while in recovery! Left me wondering what else in the world I talked to them about! Hmmm, who knows! Enjoyed this my friend!

Never mind Jerry B. commentary, if he thought it before writing he would have come to the conclusion that the doctor did not recognize that "big smile" for his patient.
See how one always find the why?
