Does everyone visit their gynaecologist once a year to have the obligatory pap smears done like good girls?
That was the great part about being pregnant, you get to dodge that THING they do the smear with – I get the holy grilllls straight to my toes. And don’t get me started on having my boobs prodded by a guy I PAY to do it.
Well worth it though – well, at least half of the R831 I had to fork out. That’s daylight robbery, I wasn’t even in there for 30 minutes! I had to rush off afterwards, but I actually caught myself thinking “well, I’m sitting here, I know how expensive this is going to be, I might as well get the most out of it”.
As I was lying on the table I was thinking “why, oh why, do people choose that as a career. I don’t get it”
As I was getting dressed “I wonder if some women take like ages to get dressed afterwards?” and then “Thank God he didn’t make me get on the scale” “Should I get on the scale? Fark no, that’ll just piss me off for the rest of the day” And so on and so forth.
Shame, he is a nice man and he took really good care of me through 2 pregnancies and I’m glad I went. He is the only person I can really ask those intimate questions. Because I pay him to listen π
I make a habit of going every year – which reminds me… I phoned the first week of Feb to make my annual appointment, and managed to get the first one available – 22nd April. I called back 2 days later to mention that it was the proposed election date, but they said they’d phone me if the appointment was to be cancelled. I forgot about it, so I’d better phone and see if I must wait another 2 months.
LOL – also HATE the yearly visits, but…a womans got to do what a womans got to do.
For that price he should offer you some Champagne and rub your shoulders too! π My gynae runs me R600 out of pocket each time and I hate going but its the best thing to do. As Minkie says:
I hate going so I always postpone it. At least I’m not due until much later (again :D)
Its the right thing to do so I go. I prefer going to a female gynae, but it is still not a nice experience
Bit like prostitution is it not? – hehehehhehehhe
The difference being that we pay!! π
