Baker's Bread


Still on the topic of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, many of you guys out there might think that a Gynae doctor has the best job in the world. Which other job in the world allows you to ask the woman to strip, touch her and her husband still smiles at you and says thank you? Which other job in the world allows you to ask a woman to spread her legs and she willingly does it each and everytime? She doesn't even complain that she has a headache or no mood.
Wow, you might think that's the best job. You might think that the Gynae enjoys his job (I am not talking about job satisfaction). Think again guys

Firstly, as professionals (minus a few black sheeps), we only examine the woman if there is a need to. When we examine, it is with the intention to treat the patient and not for self-gratification.

Secondly, lets take a look at the profile of the patients who come to see a Gynae. These are the following categories
1. Middle aged (Above 50) women who come for Pap smear test
2. Pregnant ladies
3. Women who have discharge (greenish, whitish, or cheese-like)
4. Women with blood pouring out of them
5. Pretty young ladies (only in fairytales)
Don't think anyone would want to be faced with looking between the legs of any of the above categories except for category 5. Also, no one would like to have to smell the greenish, whitish or cheese-like discharge. If you think it smells bad, it probably looks worst.

Last but not least, I leave you with this thought.
A baker works all day in the bakery, kneading dough, baking the dough. For the whole day, he is faced with the sight of bread, the smell of bread and the sight and smell of more bread. Do you think when he goes home at night, he would still want to eat bread?

(Certainly there are bakers around who work at a donut factory, so all day long he just see bread with holes. All he wants to do after work is to eat a Baguette...)
