I had the same doctor from childhood until I was in my early 20's, and his nurse, Miss Linda, was with him all those years. She was funny and took all the fear out of going to the doctor even when I was little. I had to go get a physical to go to college, this meant a blood draw which I hated. Linda could tell I was nervous, when I sat at the table for the stick, I extended my arm, she said "here, hold this, that will distract you", she put her boob firmly in my hand. Of course I was distracted, when she finished she said "before you get too excited, that's a prosthetic, I had breast cancer years ago".
Best nurse ever.
