I keep telling myself that I won't do this any more, but it's just so darn hard finding a doctor in this city, and I really trust the one who monitors all of these questionably competent residents.<br /><br />Yikes. I'm laughing at myself now!<br /><br />RuthHi from Ruth!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04696686601621200587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528470033811673980.post-15809841410278699852010-11-15T14:25:21.918-06:002010-11-15T14:25:21.918-06:00OK... so even though (or maybe because) I am a hea...OK... so even though (or maybe because) I am a health professional - I NEVER, repeat NEVER let anyone practise on me. I'm afraid that they may have to work too hard on their beside manner should I have an experience like yours and totally lose it all over them.

Ugh. Poor you :)<br />Reminds me of the first time I was in labour and a few residents wanted to check how dilated I was. Trying to be polite (while in labour!) I painfully allowed them to fumble around at length on at least 3-4 different occasions before I cracked and told them NO they may not check me anymore!!! <br />I think you have officially done your duty in training new doctors.

When he heard how long it had been since I had had a pap, he insisted that I have one right then and there.

It's downtown, drop in, on a Saturday (I think it's the 3rd sat of the month but I'd have to confirm) and they should know what they're doing since it's their specialty! :) I'm hopeful that getting it done there will be a more bearable experience! <br /><br />LeeLeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262886759774304908noreply@blogger.com
