Today, I called a doctor's office for a referral. I was in public, so when she asked me what type of issue I had, I mumbled that I had a vaginal issue. After painstakingly having to repeat this several times, she said she was asking what kind of insurance I have. FML

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, I asked a customer three times before he saw the doctor if he had any medical insurance and he replied "No" each time. Paying his bill out of pocket, this dude had the nerve to ask, "So why didn't my medical insurance cover this?" He had coverage. FML
Today, I had to repeat myself multiple times and dumb down all my anatomical terms and symptoms while describing my illness to my doctor. I want to switch, but my insurance won’t cover another one for at least 60 more days. FML
Today, I finally got insurance after months of paperwork, and so I went to the doctor. I was billed $873 for a "consultation" that pretty much consisted of being weighed and told to "Google it." FML
Today, I had a procedure that should have been covered by my health insurance, but while I was there, I asked the doc to sign a prescription for an unrelated thing. This apparently turned the insured procedure into a consultation, so they charged me full price for the procedure, over $15,000. FML
Today, I was at the doctor's office and the doctor asked me, "Have you been having any intimate relations?" and the first thing that I blurted out was, "You mean with other people?" FML
Today, I was at a party. Trying to overcome my social anxiety, I was trying to take part in conversations. So, when a girl mentioned she had a doctor's appointment next morning, I blurted out: "What kind of a doctor?" Everyone stared as she responded: "A gynaecologist." FML
Today, I arrived at the doctor's to schedule surgery to find out my insurance got canceled again. I only just got it reinstated after the last time they screwed up and canceled it. It took me 6 months to get it fixed. FML
Today, I’ve been asking both my health insurance and the clinic in question under which circumstances an elective procedure would be covered by insurance. Each one of them tells me that the other has to make the decision. FML
Today, when my doctor told me I had symptoms of an STD, I had to repeatedly try to convince her I'm a 28-year-old virgin. Even as I left she still didn't believe me. FML
Today, I've been having persistent fungal infections and was getting treated by a male gynecologist. I had to go in to give vaginal swab tests. I washed and cleaned before I left, but when I got on the doctor's table I already had so much discharge. The doctor asked, "Is it the medicine?" I had to say no. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It doesn't matter what others think or say about you OP. You shouldn't see any of them ever again

Why are you having this conversation in public? This should wait until your home, or if you work and won't be home until the office closes, in your car at lunch. YDI for being one of those people who have private conversations in public.

Because she got a call in public and she had to take the call to make the appointment, if not, she waits another day/week/month whatever the case may be.

Some people don't bring cars to work for whatever reason. Plus this person may be in school or something like that. But also, what's wrong with having private conversations in public? As long as you aren't getting violent and scaring the people around you or embarrassing the person you're talking to. I guess it could be a problem if she had to describe the problem in detail while people were stuck near her listening to it. But just a passing mention and people are free to walk away if they don't want to hear it? Not a problem. I can understand why she was shy about it, but if she had just said it confidently it wouldn't be wrong.

i was searching for this comment! you shouldn't get down voted. personal issues require privacy - an empty room, bathroom...if you know the problem causes you embarassment, why not tried to prevent awkward situations?

You're* Screw that, I'll discuss personal things over the phone with my doctor whereever if it's the only time of day I can call him/her. 'What's wrong?' 'Yes, my rectum is making this silly noise I've not heard before. Not sure the issue.' You don't know the OP's situation, and to go and say it should wait for a private setting is inconsiderate to the way her schedule may work.

Is it really so embarrassing? Isn't it a pretty common thing from time to time with girls? I don't think I know one girl which never had a need to take cranberry juice stuff at some point. It's a pretty delicate thing.

Yes, it's embarrassing. Especially considering we can hardly ever even mention a period without some people cringing into themselves. It may be natural and something that can't be helped but it doesn't stop other people from getting uncomfortable over stupid things.

She shoulda been like, "Hello, yes, my ****** feels like it's shooting out flames, and there's a weird discharge that smells like A-1 sauce and looks like chunky peanut butter." All while winking at every guy within earshot.

They should know your insurance when you give them your name

Embarrassment should be easier to over come. You'll be ok.
