Is that the Lion King? A Fun Telemedicine Appointment

Today I had a telemedicine appointment. My back is extremely sore. So, I was in bed lying down to have the virtual visit. As the appointment progresses, the medical provider stops in mid-sentence. She then moves closer to the screen. She stammers, “Is that, is that Nala?” She continues to look at my bedding in the background. There is a Lion King comforter and two Lion King pillows. The provider then says, ‘The Lion King. I have the EXACT same bedding set at home. I have the comforter, sheets and pillow case.”

I start laughing. I use my Lion King pillows often. They have appeared in many of my YouTube videos. I have had people comment on my choice of background pillows. It has been stated viewing these items takes them back to their childhood.

After the medical provider stares for a few more moments, she apologizes and goes back to the appointment. I can see she is distracted for a while as she continues to look at my Lion King bedding. Soon the appointment ends.

This incident makes me laugh. Most of the time, I am told the bedding makes people think of their childhood, but this woman still has the items at her home. Some people outgrow their childhood while others like to keep reliving it. For me, I still have the items because they are still usable. I am thrifty. Why throw out good bedding? Besides, it has made for some great conversations.
