well just rang up docs to book my smear for this morning and heard receptionaist shouting 'can ....do smears now, you sure thats ok?, well just see how it goes' My god she's gonna butcher me
At least you didnt have to get the lady garden out on national telly like some of the girls on "Embarassing teenage bodies" this week that were too shy to go to their GP but had no qualms about showing the whole nation!
I know I really dont get that programme at all. those brothers that have lives with wetting the bed all their lives because they were to embarrassed to see the doc and then they go on tv. Like they are ever gonna get a girlfriend now
Ha I know, there was something a bit strange about those boys... Maybe they get paid if they go on the programme? If not I really dont see why they are willing to do it.
I remember years ago, when I went for a sexual health check, the doctor doing it had a disability, where her hands were severely affected. She looked as though she was unable to hold anything. I was very worried, as I was sure she'd not be able to manage the Speculum. How very wrong was I, she did the job perfectly.
I thought smears were bad enough (at least they don't tend to use the stirrups anymore!!!) until I went to get a lump up there checked out.
Ended up with a room full of people as everyone seemed to have a student with them.
Apparantly they had forgot to send me the information sheet I was supposed to get and I was unaware they planned to do a colposcopy, passing a metal wire up (like the think on those wire games) which is then heated to slice the lump off to take and examine for signs of cancerous change!!!
I was then informed that it was a no go area for the next 6 weeks having just started a new relationship!
