Rep Power: 500 | | POWER OUTAGE DURING A MAMMOGRAM ouch! POWER OUTAGE DURING A MAMMOGRAM If you need a good laugh, get ready because this one will do it for you!
I actually kept my mammogram appointment. I was met with, 'Hi! I'm Belinda!'
This perky clipboard carrier smiled from ear to ear, tilted her head to one
side and crooned, 'All I need you to do is step into this room right here,
strip to the waist, then slip on this gown.
Everything clear?
I'm thinking, 'Belinda, try decaf. This ain't rocket science.'
Belinda skipped away to prepare the chamber of horrors.
With the right side finished, Belinda flipped me (literally) to the left and
said, 'Hmmmm. Can you stand on your tippy toe s and lean in a tad so we can
get everything?'
Fine, I answered. I was freezing, bruised, and out of air, so why not use
the remaining circulation in my legs and neck and finish me off?
My body was in a holding pattern that defied gravity (with my other boob
wedged between those two 4 inch pieces of square glass) when we heard, then
felt, a zap! Complete darkness and the power went off!
'Oh, maintenance is working. Bet they hit a snag.' Belinda headed for the
door.
'Excuse me! You're not leaving me in this vise alone are you?' I shouted.
Belinda kept going and said, 'Oh, you fussy puppy...the door's wide open so
you'll have the emergency hall lights. I'll be right back.'
Before I could shout 'NOOOO!' she disappeared.
And that's exactly how Bubba and Earl, maintenance men extraordinaire, found
me, half-naked and part of me dangling from the Jaws of Life, and the other
part smashed between glass!
After exchanging polite 'Hi, how's it going' type greetings, Bubba (or
possibly Earl) asked, to my utter disbelief, if I knew the power was off.
Trying to disguise my hysteria, I replied with as much calmness as possible
'Uh, yes, yes I did thanks.'
'You bet, take care' Bubba replied and waved good-bye as though I'd been
standing in the line at the grocery store.
Two hours later, Belinda breezes in wearing a sheepish grin. Making no
attempt to suppress her amusement, she said, 'Oh I am sooo sorry!' The power
came back on and I totally forgot about you! And silly me, I went to lunch.
Are we upset?'
And that, Your Honor, is exactly how her head ended up between the
clamps.... Peace to one and all !!! | | The Following 3 Users Say Thank You to jangel For This Useful Post: | |

Damn...that would hurt...
I can imagine the same scenario, but this time it's in the middle of a colonoscopy and the Doc just takes a walk and leaves you there...

Don't you hate when they forget about you???
I can't figure out why the generators didn't snap right on. Remind me to not practice at that hospital. A girl could cut herself in the dark. Boy that is a huge boo boo...sure hope you lodged a complaint. Maybe ms perky will not forget if it happens again. Dumb dumb dumb
