It is cute when some patients go out of their way and try to make things easier for people taking care of them. It’s a gracious but ultimately superfluous gesture: the folks taking care of you are trained to do what they do under a plethora of conditions and circumstances. Blissful, broken, bleeding or barely breathing, most professionals are going to get the job done. 

My point:

Don’t get a brazilian wax job before your colonoscopy. It’s not a necessary step.

In fact, if you do, we usually think you’re trying to seduce us.

And trying to seduce the people scoping the second holiest of holies isn’t necessarily the opportune time for most people.

…. most people.
