Embarrassing medical procedure. Bob's physician told him he needed to schedule a colonoscopy procedure as a precaution. The doctor told him he would he would write a note to give his boss since Bob would need to be off work for 2 days. Bob said he didn't feel comfortable telling his boss what procedure he was having. It just seemed too vulnerable and personal. The doctor offered another option. "If you are not comfortable telling your boss you are scheduled for a colonoscopy, just say you need two days off because you have been chosen to participate in an exclusive, hi-tech, limited-entry photo session."
