Before I start, I want to say I’m not looking for sympathy, it’s just easy to talk on here in this virtual world!
I’ve been having some pain in the family jewels area for about 3 months, so I’ve plucked up the courage and finally went to the docs this morning.
I was embarrassed, but better safe than sorry I guess! It was a female doctor (Awkward) but she was really nice. I explained it was a sensitive issue and she of course understood. She asked me loads of questions, some of which I didn’t expect, like did I have a sexually transmitted disease. I confirmed there was no way, then she asked me if I had trouble getting an erection! I replied by saying “What’s that”? Thankfully, she laughed and then asked me to release the lads, so to speak! After examining me (Awkward) she rang through to one of her colleagues for a second opinion.
I asked if I would need another examination from the other doctor and she replied he was busy with another patient. However, he expressed I need to check my prostrate (Oh boy) After curling up into a ball on a table she tried to take my mind off the situation by asking irrelevant questions about my hobbies. Half way through replying she quickly inserted the unwanted finger, which caused my voice to go from soprano to tenor, which made her laugh apologetically (But not me) . Anyway, I’m off for an ultra scan when the hospital ring me.
Before I left the room I said “That’ll teach me to keep my mouth shut about the pain “. Of course she insisted I had done the right thing going to see her.
I thanked her and left quickly, only to be caught up by the same doctor as I was about the cross the road outside of the surgery. I had forgotten my umbrella.
What a morning. I never thought I’d say this, but I can’t wait to start work this afternoon. A little bit of normality in an abnormal day.
Anyway, moan over!
I hope all goes ok with the results of the ultra scan.

Thanks Liz. I’m sure it will be fine. As I said, I wasn’t looking for sympathy, it’s just nice to get it off my chest without the usual looks of sympathy or worry some people exude without realising it

Their poor attempt at sedation during the examination made me feel like I’d been involved in the said battle.

Ok. I won’t give you any sympathy. I’ll just agree that that doctor’s visit would be high on my list of ‘things that sucked today’.
You did make me giggle though….as awkward as the experience must have been for you.
And you reminded me of one of the many reasons I never wanted to be a doctor 😉
Here’s hoping work was a little less uncomfortable 🙂

We definitely need doctors…but I did my time. I worked for three GP’s, and assisted and cleaned my fair share of ‘minor procedures’. Thankfully none quite as invasive as yours! 😉

I remember two female doctors examining me for enlarged prostate issues. Lucky ladies! And then a more detailed hospital procedure where they went right in at the front, all guns blazing. Not a great memory, but it seemed wise to get it all checked out. 🙂

😂 I find it funny when men talk about their “jewels” being examined by a doc. Women have been getting this since their 20s and their breasts smashed starting at 40 (mammo). 😂😂
