So… today was pretty much horrible. I went the once – 5 / 6 years ago… I don’t remember it hurting like that…. I don’t remember it hurting really at all… very uncomfortable, but, not such pain. Anyway, I’m sure the Dr. got the vibe from the beginning that I didn’t want to be there. I hate Dr.’s and I don’t like hospitals (good thing I’m in medical, right) I was very short and brief with my answers (in fact, I may have just shook my head) to the “have you had any abnormal pap results, do you do self breast exam, etc… ” questions. When she was listening to my heart/lungs, i had my knees pulled up to my chest with my arms around them. Then, when i layed back, I had my arms up covering my face, while she did everything else (breast exam [to which I greatly tensed up to]/spec exam). So, she put the spec in me… It hurt A LOT. and I backed up and screamed, so she pulled it out. But she wasn’t very nice to me. She asked me if I wanted her to try again, (at this point i’m already crying) I said no. The person I drug there with me (whose hands I was squeezing the life out of) asked if AD had to have them (believe me… I already knew the answer… otherwise, I wouldn’t be there). so I asked that if I said no, would I have to come back. I was told I would. So, then, I asked and was told that if I didn’t get it done (now or soon), it would go to the commander (… not getting necesary medical checks…i guess.). THis would then come down my entire chain of command for me to explain WHY i couldn’t put up with an exam (they didn’t say that…. that is just my interpretation). I don’t know. Anyhow. so, i’m kinda mad…. like really? What are you going to do, tell me I’m not taking health precautions by not going? Because clearly it’s better for me to have sex with bunch of people and be able to tolerate you sticking something in me to check for stds, then it is for me not to have ever had sex, and not tolerate something in me, and thus forgo being able to check for stds, and cervical cancer… which is mostly caused by stds anyway. She ended up doing it again, but said “i wasn’t able to get a very good sample. I hope it works.’ … am I supposed to say I’m sorry?!?
Anyhow, then, after everything’s done, she comes back in to talk to me, and says I saw you went in for pelvic pain when you were at keesler. Was that taken care of? I told her it was just from periods and they just gave me ibuprophen. Did it work? Not really, once i get nauseas, i can’t really take anything anyway. Well, would you like to talk to someone about it (really she asked me that like 3 times in this conversation)? well, it would be nice to not have cramps every month, So, it’s cramps? (I figured that was implied when i said it was from my period.) So, again, she asked if i wanted to talk to anyone (at some point she asked me if i wanted to talk to mental health the pelvic pain. It’s not pelvic pain!!! it’s cramps!!! do you usually suggest mental health to pts?!? I’m sorry…. you’re having knee problems… do you need to see mental health?), and I was like… well… can you just suggest something for me to take? So, she suggestd a low dose anti depressant. She ended up giving me Ultram, though. I kinda think she thinks I have been abused or something. I know I am way more reserved than the average person… but perhaps if you came in and talked to me about anything PRIOR to touching me, you would have learned this… I’d a told you anything if you asked… maybe not excitedly or in very many words, but, I would have given you a warning about me. It still hurts… I feel…. very stretched, and uncomfortable.
