[Sundae]

Why do I feel slightly obvious responding to this thread?

Yes - I have flashed accidentally in the past - but only as far as flashing my underwear, except on the occasion below, but I'm not sure if qualified medical practitioners count?

My colleague and I had had a "greedy afternoon" (this was before I clicked that she was bulimic - I thought she was a yo-yo dieter like me). We polished off a tin of hazelnut praline straws between us.

When I got home that evening I was really hot and itchy - and this was in a very cool old cottage, which didn't store the heat at all. I ended up lying on the bed with cold wet tissues all over me and still couldn't get any relief. By the morning I had angry red lumps in all my creases - my elbows and the top of my legs were the worst, so I booked an appointment with the Doctor, getting in immediately which was a stroke of luck.

The GP I saw really didn't seem interested in diagnosing what was wrong. He glanced at my arm, said, "Allergic reaction, you just need some OTC anti-histamine tablets" and left it at that. Now as this had never happened to me before, I wanted to make sure the Doctor had actually seen the extent of the problem - in case he was just assuming it was on my arms. So I pulled my skirt up, forgetting that I had the briefest of thongs on (trying to minimise contact with the affected areas). As I stood and lifted my skirt I could feel just by knowing my own body's geography that my thong had crept up to hide, and I was presenting the poor young man with my flaps.

Ah well. That'll larn him not to be dismissive when faced with a concerned female patient!
