Permissible Peeking

I went into the patients room, introduced myself and asked If I could take a peek at his groin, without a question he said “sure” So I took a look at the R groin-nothing, took a look at the L groin-nothing…thought to myself, well this is strange. Then it dawned on me; I asked the patient, “You didn’t come from the cath lab did you?” “No” was his reply. I was soo embarrassed and apologized as I as looking at the wrong patient’s groin sites. Hahahhaa. Oops. Good thing it wasn’t a shot in the butt.
