I bet the nurse was originally from The UK or Australia or even the Boston area where Diapers are called nappies and the Sav is the shortening of Savlon a well-recognized product used for cuts etc and especially for sores on and around the But etc. Hope this helps she is not mocking or making fun of you.

My Doctor, Diabetic nurse and Continence advisor all know I wear nappies. It's not a big deal any more.

I just had a physical examination and my doctor handled it in a professional manner. A doctor who has a good bedside manner won't make an issue of this problem because they know that the patient doesn't need anyone- especially their GP- to make it any worse than it already is.
