Once I had a UTI and the medication turned my urine a bluish color. I was in the military at the time and we all walked into the same area to leave our samples on a big table. Everyone looked as me as I walked into the gym with dismay. It was embarrassing. No HIPAA in the military in that situation. Haha

Edit: I should add the detail that when carrying the cup to and from the bathroom, we have to carry it at shoulder height so it’s visible at all times. It was like the walk of shame.

Lmfao. Facts. I just told my wife this story for the first time. She just looked at me and said, okay papa Smurf.
