Who should pay who?

uniquely-ironic posted on Jan 16, 2008 | views: 313 | Tags: exam, doctor, ladies, health

Well, yesterday was certainly not one of my favorite most recent days.  It’s behind of the day I hurt my knee, and the day I found out that gramma died, but well ahead getting a ticket or having to collate a butt load of forms at work.

I had my lady physical.  You know.  The one that we ladies look so forward to having each year.  (if you can read the sarcasm by now, you’re hopeless)  We usually will cancel THIS appointment so that we can go to the dentist for a root canal.

The doctor I saw is a very nice man.  White hair and all so that there are no “cute doctor” complications.  He is very thoughtful and talks his way through the exam so that there are no “surprises”.  I have no idea why this exam is such a black letter day.  Guys have that bend over and cough exam that is probably the equivelant.  (I’m not a guy, so I have no idea how that really compares)  It’s less intrusive than brain surgery and more comfortable than a mammogram.

I’m done with it for a year now, so I can relax.  I had to smile to myself that as I was leaving that I had to PAY someone to do that exam.  Doesn’t he know that a private audience with my hoo-ha should cost HIM some money?

    queen - it just doesn't seem right for some "stranger" to get a free peek.
  • ShakenToTheCore said on Jan 16, 2008....
    And does it not strike anyone else as strange the sheer number of men that choose this particular field of medicine? Penis-envy, yeah right!
  • beyondtheveil said on Jan 16, 2008....
    unique- I also liked your hoo-ha example, you should at least get a tip.

    But let me tell you how it compares with the bend over prostate exam- patients would have to pay me a veritable fortune to do that all day.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Jan 16, 2008....
    Shaken/Stirred - I've never understood how anyone, man or woman, could choose that field of medicine, given the many specialties out there.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Jan 16, 2008....
    BTV - Luckily that specialty does pay well :)  (as does the doctor I just saw)
  • MissMimi said on Jan 16, 2008....
    U-I, I am of the exact opposite mind on this.  I would rather do ANYTHING than go to the dentist.  God above, I hate going to the dentist.  it makes me want to punch someone right in the face.
  • hottips4u said on Jan 16, 2008....
    If your cute, I'd be glad to donate my time this time next year...hehe

                { mines a female, and I think she lov's her work }.

  • uniquely-ironic said on Jan 16, 2008....
    MissMimi - LOL  If you punch someone in the face, they might need to go see the dentist.  No thanks, I can get numbing meds and elevator music at the dentist, I don't get that at the lady parts doctor.
     
    hottips - Well there's an offer I'll have to get back to you on!  I guess I'd need to know what your unique qualifications were and how much you're willing to pay for the priviledge ;)
  • nytquill17 said on Jan 16, 2008....
    lol!  I think you're on to something there, U-I ;)

    I'm with Mimi - I'd choose a pelvic exam over a root canal!  Tooth pain...*shudder*  But then it's not like, "Oh, goody, pelvic exam day!" either...

    Thank God my doctor is a woman because I don't think I could handle having a guy do it.  I know, it's just another body part, it's all natural, etc. etc. but having a male gyno would weird me out way too much!
  • uniquely-ironic said on Jan 16, 2008....
    nytquill - I gave up feeling weird after I had my first child.  It's not like I encourage an audience, but gender sensitivity is no longer an issue doctor-wise.
  • hottips4u said on Jan 16, 2008....
    Must be some kinda super hoo ha ;-)... look at all the attention you get the moment a hoo ha is roaming SC,,,lol. 

    Now I ve been called a Buttery Bisque , Clam Lovers Heaven, and of course, a cunt.

    But never have I ever heard of a hoo ha...but I like it. lol

    Its like...what's for dinner ?  Hoo Ha... ol-boy...     'Dig In.... Lets Eat !!!

    Jessi.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Jan 16, 2008....
    hottips - LOL what's for dinner?!!!  I always thought hoo ha was more like dessert ;)
  • hottips4u said on Jan 16, 2008....
    Not if you eat it as much as I do ....Then it's the main course..lol

    Jessi.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Jan 16, 2008....
    hottips - *blushes* okay, I give.  You're just plain embarrassing me now.
  • hottips4u said on Jan 16, 2008....
    I was just having fun ....wink

    I'll be nice

  • travelr712 said on Jan 16, 2008....
    well unique, you know what they say. men spend 9 months getting out, and the rest of their lives getting back in. and some men make a career of it! :-)
     
    hottips - hmm, you're forcing me to retract one of my earlier comments toward you. now i have seen you being nice. :-)
  • uniquely-ironic said on Jan 16, 2008....
    trav - I've heard that, but never connected it with that particular career choice.
  • hottips4u said on Jan 16, 2008....
    It was a poser !

    Jessi.
  • Lucytorial said on Jan 16, 2008....
    well I have a female doctor for that kind of thing..... I absolutely abhor it, its almost as embarrassing as getting a full brazilian wax job but with the brazilian you have to really make strange and odd poses...
  • uniquely-ironic said on Jan 16, 2008....
    Lucy - and flat on your back with your feet in the stirrup thingy isn't a strange pose?  Hmmm.  I agree that a full brazilian can be equally weird.
  • Lucytorial said on Jan 16, 2008....
    ohh yeh... but having to squeeze your butt cheeks whilst spreading your knees and RELAX no I'd have a root canal any time!

    And WHY do they use cold freaking metal!
  • uniquely-ironic said on Jan 16, 2008....
    Lucy - That is something I love about this guy.  He keeps that metal thing in a warmer so you don't hit the ceiling when they "install" it.  He's the first doctor I've gone to for this kind of thing that did that.
  • Lucytorial said on Jan 16, 2008....
    lucky you, I just hate the comments you know, ohh you look nice and healthy in there!

    WTF please don't comment on it, I have nothing to say in response...
  • uniquely-ironic said on Jan 16, 2008....
    Lucy - LOL yeah, that is pretty weird.  It's like, well drop your pants so I can comment on your junk and we'll be even.  All I really want to know is if it's normal.
  • destinydiva said on Jan 16, 2008....
    lol unique :-)  he should be paying you!!  :-) xx
    its so weird that you guys have to pay for stuff like that cus its all free over here, I cant imagine having to pay for health care...especially as I seem to require so much of it :-) xx


  • uniquely-ironic said on Jan 16, 2008....
    destiny - Don't tempt me to move over there!  I'd run amuck in your nice country and it would start looking like the US in no time!

    5. Bring up the tough stuff first

    About 30 percent of women said that they’ve been too embarrassed to ask their ob-gyn about sexual-health issues. It sounds counterintuitive, but one way to get over any anxiety about discussing, say, your sluggish sex drive or an unusual discharge is to bring up the subject at the very start of the appointment, says Jeffrey Robinson, Ph.D., an associate professor of communication at Rutgers University. According to his research, patients rate their office visits more positively when they can discuss their biggest concerns at the beginning of their visit. More than 75 percent of women reported that their visits lasted for 15 minutes or less, so if you talk about those personal issues right away, you make certain you have adequate time to address what’s most important to you. Make a nerve-racking conversation easier by starting out with "This is a bit embarrassing for me, but…" or "I’d really like to talk about something, but it’s uncomfortable for me." Says Chang, "These phrases signal to your doctor that the discussion is emotional."


  • TinSoldier said on Jan 16, 2008....
    Heh. You know, when I was a kid I may have thought of that as a dream job.

    But just like having dessert for every meal, man, I'm sure that it would get pretty tiresome after awhile. For a guy OB/GYN, he would probaby know how to do all the right things and hit the right spots with his SO more than most guys, but then he would start getting work flashbacks and stuff that puts him right out of the mood.

    I wonder how many male OB/GYNs feel that way... :D


  • Twylarants said on Jan 16, 2008....
    My first visit with the new gyno last winter:

    Mrs. Rants...you're how old? 57?
    (I can't see his face, right? So this is making me nervous.)
    Uh..yeah... for a few more weeks...why?
    You still have all your parts!

    How surprised is he gonna be this year? I still have them.



  • lfbno7 said on Jan 17, 2008....
    One thing I really don't like is going to a urologist and he tells you to lay on your side and he starts putting a glove on his hand. I can do without that. It's a bit awkward when your GP puts a hand on your balls and tells you to cough, but beyond the awkwardness there's nothing to that. I really don't want somebody's finger poking.
  • Mamie said on Jan 17, 2008....
    ugh, I can't even comment because now i am nauseous!
  • uniquely-ironic said on Jan 17, 2008....
    hottips - That is good advice.  I suffer from the absolute lack of embarrassment where doctors are concerned.  My time spent working as support staff in the medical field exposed me to bizarre things that I doubt I could top.
     
    TS - I'm not sure how they do that.  I would think they'd have to find some way to compartmentalize their work from their love life.  But I agree, they sure should know their way around a woman.
     
    Twyla - He was surprised?  That's weird.  Some women keep their "parts" their whole lives. 
     
    Mr7 - I don't think anyone likes that exam.  My theory is that any body part designed to put stuff out should not have intrusions going in.  But, my dad survived colon cancer because he put up with those exams.
     
    Mamie - There is a whole different understanding among women about that exam.  You mention it to a woman and they're like "Oh yeah!  No problem.  Take the day off".

I'm Calmer Now

I'm calmer now that I vented and cried. I don't cry very often anymore. I cried when I was thinking suicide and missing the cat over here. It was about knowing that I would never be able to snuggle her again. My tears moistened her precious fur as I... read entire post 1 comments
