Yeah. My ob/gyn thought I was kidding when I suggested a hysterectomy. I was seeing him because I had started perimenopause and didn't know that yet. All I knew what that my girl parts suddenly went insane and were taking the rest of me with them.
"First thing we'll do is a PAP smear. At your age, if any readings come back abnormal, we might want to discuss surgery."
"What's to discuss? Your office is attached to the hospital. Give 'em a call and see if they have any ORs open. What the heck? I can take the rest of the day off!"
It was the first of many strange looks he gave me.
Later, during the testing extravaganza, I had the same proceedure where he poked a straw into my cervix and get "samples" from my uterus. "Ow" I said the first time. 30 seconds later I made sure to yell "OW!" so that the whole office could hear me.
"Oh. Sorry."
Yeah, you're gonna be sorry, Mister, when I give you a vasectomy with that straw!
