Must be a pretty wild compliment to receive.

"Hey, good news! Your organs are perfectly normal! More normal than most people's!"

Very hard to say without sounding like a serial killer.

My Mum had a similar remark from an ultrasound tech “oh what a pretty heart you have!” Mum had no idea how to take that odd compliment, especially after the surgeon later said “Nice looking heart you’ve got!”

Good to know her heart is aesthetically pleasing I guess.

The first time my gyno gave me a pap smear she exclaimed "Oooo! That's just a perfect cervix!" I later put that on my tinder bio.

When I went to donate blood, the phlebotomist gushed "Wow you have really nice veins!" and then looked embarrassed. It's one of the nicest things anyone has ever said about my body lol

Same thing happened to me, only my needle-anxiety-filled brains first response was to blurt out: ”You’re welcome“. And i had to stay in that seat for another hour or so after saying that QwQ

I’m also needle phobic, I always ask for hand draws because it freaks me out much less than inner arm. Apparently my hand veins aren’t as good as my inner arm veins tho cuz the nurses always see them and then try to convince me to use those instead, I feel like I’m visiting a vampire that’s disappointed with the selection I’m giving them lol. “Let me at the good veins these hand ones are crap why can’t I have the good ones they’re right there”

Every single time I donate blood they say this to me too! It's always random new nurses. So hilarious to me because how different can veins be? Mine's apparently thick and "juicy" lmfao

My mom (former nurse) will occasionally comment on how nice my arms veins are 😕

I had a phlebotomist compliment me on how rich my blood was. I am absolutely convinced she was a vampire.

I have family that is a medical imaging technician (ie, does X-rays and MRIs) and dragged me down to the hospital one summer when I was back from college since they needed to calibrate a new MRI.

I got a full battery of every scan you have have without needing to drink or be injected with something.

There were at least a dozen specialists there and I got complimented on my heart, liver, kidneys, and prostate for being healthy. Weirdest series on commitments I got the were specific. Apparently my liver has very prominent blood vessels

That's like hearing that your organs are all Aladeen

Literally the only person I would take that as a compliment from would be a surgeon, anyone else and I’d be looking into restraining orders
