About 18 years ago, when my wife worked worked as a receptionist at a
large Midwest metropolitan hospital; she was in charge of the junior
volunteers. These were junior high and high school age kids that ran
errands for different departments of the hospital. One evening was
unusually 'slow' and she decided to liven things up a bit. She had a
couple of her female volunteers go up to the Pediatric wing on 2nd floor
and ask the nurses for some fallopian tubing which was needed down in
Pharmacy. Unfortunately the nurses were not amused, and my wife got
'written up'. Even so, the story has been told and retold with great
amusement to all. It just shows that even medical people sometimes have
a problem with sexual terms, words, and a little humor.
