The in-thing in fashion these days..
I had gone to get my left knee checked today. More of a preventive action than any long term pain or anything. There is an occasional pain and I am worried more about the mechanics than any structural issue.
In any case, I was asked to get a quick X-ray before meeting the doctor. And then I was ushered into the X-ray area. The lady took me to a room and asked me “take your trousers off, put in these paper shorts and keep everything else on”!! Those shorts are actually made of paper!!
As I pondered over getting papyrusly clad, I wondered what she meant by “everything else on”. To play it safe, I kept my jacket as well as dress shoes and socks on!! Evidently I was not the only one with this ridiculous look. As I stepped out, the whole corridor was a veritable Versace fashion show of people milling around, all dressed up to various levels of hilarity like me!!
Perhaps a fashion show in Scotland somewhere!!!
TIL, Versace makes paper shorts 🙂
I had developed trouble in the left knee. Auyrveda medicine and massage over 2 months has done some magic.
Scottish Kilt !
Hilarious – I am pantomimed.
The last time they did it was on King Tut 🙂
I have no words…..
So you will lose your trousers Somebody will come and tear them apart with a needle !
This could very well be the next US Olympic uniform – send this to Ralph Lauren ;-$
Very popular disposable shorts…we use them all the time in our clinic too
Oh u do look hilariously handsome!!!
Looking good, Rajib! 🙂

Nice look. Knees are probably those low profile unsupportive trainers.
🙂
You’ll surely experience one of your historical intersections while in the hallway wearing your paper shorts.
Great! Once something has been seen it cannot be unseen…and now we’ve seen a picture of Rajib without his pants
Al , I have a few in Spandex too 🙂
Rajib, can I just take your word for it? 🙂
Micky , disposable? I thought they were for keeps 🙂
until I read this thread, I didn’t realize my visual cortex had pain receptors 🙂
I guess it works well for all patients except for the ones suffering from priapism 🙂
The dress is looking good and you, like a model of fashion show.
RL will be envious
First time in paper attire? 😉
Eastman color 🙂
Shelly , I have meaning to call you for some time. Actually, this pain happens even if we get a little more cushioned shoes like Nike Free (not as cushioned as Asics Kayano). You know what cures it? If I put in a couple of sprints. Have been trying to find out why? I am sure it is mechanics not structural issue…
Jennifer , I will surely be feeling blue, if it happens…
Bob , you are right. There are no pain receptors in your visual cortex. They are on your nerve endings. On the other hand what your visual cortex is sensing is called jealousy. It is kind of a pain too 🙂
Satish, learnt a new word today !!
it’s all good as long as they use recycled paper ….btw in chennai you would be called a paper mache(an)
Ok, never heard of the word so I had to look up priapism…. and now I wish I hadn’t. : O
How did your imaging go ? Did you tear apart the shorts after the imaging ? Just wondering what would happen if it’s torn while sitting ?? May be they will provide paper towels after that !!
I did a double take and had to read your post. It looked like you were in your boxers. Not that I know whether you wear boxers or not. Just saying!
Nice knees!
ha ha Rajib good show!!
Caught with you pants down….. BTW did you autographed the paper shorts or not….
Cool….if you go around in old city of Hyderabad, you would be nicknamed as the “Formal Chaddi Pahalwan”
