How I Survive Working In A Hospital Full Of Women

Or

How I Deal Daily With Penis Envy

The life of a hospital laboratory technician is not always the sexy and glamorous experience one would suppose. There is plasma, and pee pee, and poo (oh my!).

And when you are male... There is the inevitable mental cruelty, physical abuse, and sexual harrassment... The ugly side of healthcare. Where I work the women sometimes line the hallways, and as I walk by, make crude remarks, paw at me, or pinch my buttocks. (In next week's installment I'll be posting police photos of my black and blue marks.) Imagine my shame.

You say, "Malott! Why don't you just quit?"

Oh sure, quitting would be the easy way. But I have lives to save, my friend. And come Monday morning, I'll once again will be up to my elbows in body fluids and semi-fluids and maybe even some green stuff with pus on it.


And... Loving it.
