Day tripper

So there I am, Dr J's office at 9 am. Actually I got there late coz they are NEVER on time so why should I be. After 10 mins the crappy nurse yells my name (HIPPA be damned apparently) and yells "Sono" after. She was around the corner from the waiting room at this time so I just assumed her meaning. Nice manners you got there.

Anyhow - Dr J comes in, wand goes up and she says 'still there'. I am thinking she does not mean my uterus but the polyps. She opens the door and yells shit in Polish. Then super nurse comes in with an injection.
"what's that? "
"local"
"what for"
"in case its needed" (oh yeah duh, stupid me)

Dr J pops the liquid in my arm and ..... i... am.... totally.... stoned.....
Then OUCH the fuckity fuck ouch.
She not only 'cleans' my uterus up she take the biopsy for the co-culture.
'Stay, till not dizzy' she mutters.
"Fuck off", says I to no-one. I get up too quickly and get dressed. She hands me a prescription and out I go.
Bit like every Saturday morning when I was a teenager - without the $20K price tag and medical procedures.

And that is that till November 30th.

Question: what has happened to cyclesista??

  1. While I cracked up at the last bit, I still think it sounds somewhat inhumane. I hope the rest of your day is better!

  2. Where do you find these asshole doctors? I mean really it seems unacceptable. Hope these bastards just get you pregnant PDQ so you don't have to endure any of this crap in future. Hope you felt a little better the rest of the day and please accept a big hug and a virtual cup of your favorite drink on me.

  3. Holy crap. And this doc came recommended? WTF is up with (1) rude staff and (2) a doc who just "does" things to you without much explanation or compassion? Please tell me you researched the qualifications/stats of this doc yourself. Now go have some tea and rest your aching uterus.

As if all this ART stuff wasn't difficult and crappy enough you have to put up with . . . I don't even know what to describe it. I hope you cna take it easy tonight, and that the next visit is much easier. Love to you,
