Swingin’ surgeon
My worst date happened when I moved to California. I was in a traveling nurse program fresh out of college, and my first assignment was in Modesto. The surgeon I was assigned to my first week asked me out for Valentine’s Day. He gave me his address and said “meet me at my house for dinner.”
I arrived expecting the two of us to have a romantic dinner, etc. When he opened up the door to his home, there was a HOT TUB in the foyer with two other naked couples in it and he said jump on in. I turned around and bolted. The next day in the operating room he referred to me as THE PRUDE FROM PENNSYLVANIA.
