Sex?

Sexually transmitted diseases can be spread through means other than sex!? And the possibility of having an STD is even more relevant for patients.

Um, no. That's why they are called sexually transmitted diseases.  Aside from blood transfusions, but we do not run about giving our own blood to patients.  If they were spread that easily we would all have them and it would be a non-issue. If you are concerned about STD's being transmitted casually I would advise wrapping yourself in some impermeable membrane when in public.

Yea, but its still a possibility I'm sure. Don't tell me you can't conceive of someone, especially a new hire making a mistake like that. Plus, even if there wasn't it'd still have to be there as a legal ass-covering measure.

Anyway, we're getting off-topic. Back to why sex ruins everything ever.

And who do you think that risk truly applies to? I'll give you a hint, its not the patient. Which is another reason that it's a good question to ask the patient (which is what you're actually doing)!

Well, of course. And for the record (at least in this state) we are subjected to a number of titers/serologies to ensure we are free of the most heinous bloodborne pathogens (hep c, etc.).

I see a common thread amongst you guys. For one thing, quit over analyzing everything. It is alienating to others and for the individual, does nothing to promote true self-examination.  You guys are all young. I was in the same place at one time. The path to strong interpersonal relationships starts with a quality inTRApersonal relationship. Self-actualization is more than just jargon.  One thing women really love is to be listened to; listened to and truly heard. Can't be done when your own thoughts are constantly eating at you. You are a loudspeaker for your own self-worth and well being, projecting it onto others and the world around you.  There is more than just sex. Your occupational health depends on it as well. I'm sure it seems trite, but give yourselves time. Eat healthy and exercise. I'm not talking about 400 crunches, simply walk. You guys are clearly intelligent, just try not to use it as a hammer. Things will fall into place.

I'm not that young...kinda wish I was.

I'm not some lonely dunderhead that's had sex once and it was a failure. I've been having consistent sex for the past couple years (sometimes as much as three or four times a day). I know all of that self-actualization garbage by heart. Tell me how that helps you when your girlfriend just took 20 ambien and is so mentally spaced that she begs to steal her dad's wallet and card.

Sex, apparently.

Yeah, I just wanted to bust your chops. All that stuff is true, but whatever. Besides, how can you judge my world as being a 'springer' world? You're superior to me, right?
