I was just starting to date a guy and I went to be put back on birth control... My doctor asked me if I was pregnant and told me she would have to do a pregnancy test before putting me back on the pill. I told her there was no chance of me being pregnant.. to which she then asked "Are you sure?"<br /><br />..."Unless it's the Immaculate Conception, yes I'm sure"<br /><br /> I hadn't had sex in 5 years, how would I not be sure?.. She was an idiot and I changed doctors. Not that the next was much better.. I once again was starting a new relationship and I thought that since it had been awhile, I should get a pap smear ect ect.. My doctor came in and said to me… “I haven’t done on of these in a long time”…. Um… she has female patients and I’m sure most women should have this done at least once every 2 years… how has she not done one in awhile??? <br /><br />I usually end up diagnosing myself and going to the doctors to tell THEM what’s wrong with me so they can arrange treatment… shall I go for number 3?<br /><br />I told my doctor I was having problems swallowing small things, which felt like they were going up my nose. So she arranged for me to have a barium swallow test. Next time I saw her she said the test didn’t see any problem, so I asked again, why I would have the feeling of small things going up my nose when I swallowed, to which she said “Oh a barium test wouldn’t find something like that”…. <br /><br />They make me want to hit my head to stop the stupid… Leigh you are not alone… and I hate cat scratches, they make me really itchy ;)Kerri Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05368500873620219614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885089363049042508.post-16935481248377247722009-05-01T12:36:00.000-04:002009-05-01T12:36:00.000-04:00Good for her!

Because male doctors, especially ER docs, don't believe them.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01264241978515946396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885089363049042508.post-2675288992065688842009-05-01T12:28:00.000-04:002009-05-01T12:28:00.000-04:00My SIL has a serious chronic condition.

After no examination and no tests, they sent her home with percocet.<br /><br />She wrote a letter, too.PersonalFailurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03034292023591747601noreply@blogger.com
