Flummoxed

By shellie - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - Reserved

Today, I went to the gynecologist for the first time. I was so nervous that when she extended her hand to shake mine, I gave her my handbag instead. FML

Don't worry OP. I screamed during a test on my ear, before anything happened.

The first time I went, I giggled almost uncontrollably. They've seen it all, nbd.

That's basically how it works when you go to the doctors - they shake your hand, you hand them all your money.

Yes, taking money is all we do. We don't take out diseased organs, save lives, keep you healthy, or anything good. We're only good at wallet biopsies.

I thought that was some American custom. The patient greets the doctor, then shows them they have been successful enough in life to be worth saving and the doctor escorts them in? Here in the wilderness of Canadialand we just show up and pray they're not too busy to work their magic on us.

It's against the law in the USA to deny emergency treatment on the basis of no insurance/not enough money.

Yeh, save you then charge you. Much better system than "free".

Not really. How do you think they check to see if your uterus hasn't prolapsed...?

I still can't bring myself to book an appointment. I can't even discuss it. It scares me too much.

don't worry I have to have my first appointment soon because my family has alot of womanly parts problems hahahaha

74 please go soon then my cousins one was 22 died from uterine cancer and one was 24 years old died from breast cancer. I at 28 am supposed to have a hysterectomy- where they remove all of your female parts that carry a baby and a double mastectomy- removal of boobs all because I've got an 80% chance of getting one of the cancers I mentioned or both

Ok going to the gyno isn't "that" bad. Unless you were going there for another reason other than a check up. As long as you relax it's fine. And she's a girl so it's nothing new down there. (hopefully) But make sure your doctor washed her hands before shaking yours:/

No big deal. Doctors have seen it all, you can't surprise them.
