Okay so today I went to the hospital because I'm pregnant and I've had a persistent fever since this past Saturday. So after waiting about 2 hours we go back to another waiting room (which is to be expected), so we go back and I get seen by a male doctor, he was very knowledgeable and was able to quickly identify the cause of the fever. The doctor sends me back out to the waiting room while he checks on my diagnosis and comes back IN the waiting room and tells me what I have. It was the weirdest thing, he practically is speaking so loudly that everyone can hear him and he is telling me that I have a UTI. Which is common in pregnancy, so okay I get it. But then he leaves and a woman behind me turns around and says "I didn't mean to eavesdrop but when I was pregnant I used to get UTI's and the only thing that helped was cranberry juice" I just felt so embarrassed that everyone who was sitting in that waiting room now knew that I had a UTI :(
