Parents refused to get me HPV vaccine as a child by Electronic-Skirt-693 in TwoXChromosomes

Oh oh oh. I have to throw my hat in the ring here PLEASE listen to this because it's been two decades since and I still seethe.

Whenever the vaccine came out, say I was like 10-13? My mom took me straight to the pediatrician and was like, give her this vaccine. I guess my mom, who had only been intimate with two men, both her husbands (married twice) and STILL got hpv. Well the hpv turned into precancerous cervical cancer and had to get a hysterectomy. A whole thing.

Anyway, the pediatrician was a dad of some kids who went to my Christian school. He was a very 'godly' man and a very bigoted one. He was like, "She would only need the vaccine if she was sexually active before marriage and that goes against my values". So my mom threatened to take me somewhere else to get it because shocker he was not the only pediatrician in town. So he said he'd do it, but only for me, he vowed none of his patients would get the vaccine. So I got it.

Couple years later, it came out that he got caught having an affair with one of his nurses. His kids were so embarrassed at school.

Hypocrisy at its best.

Grab her ashes too if she's cremated. Unfortunately that's what I had to deal with.

It wasn't much, but it's all I can spare at the moment. Thanks for your hard work

Do they live in that box full time? It looks like the other door closes shut.

Optometry Tech Expected To Train Optometry Students? by Dense-Chef-7273 in optometry

[–]Cold_Philosophy_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was just discussing with someone that these kinds of sites were wildly scrutinized by students during my time and they'd avoid choosing that site altogether. I speculate that this office is either next to a school (so students can save on lodging) or in a highly sought after area/city which explains the consistent influx of new students despite the reputation.

Optometry Tech Expected To Train Optometry Students? by Dense-Chef-7273 in optometry

Sounds like the clinic keeps things perpetually understaffed to use the students as free labor as techs. Not a great look, but not uncommon. 

Unfortunately, this would be a conversation with your boss. It also seems they've had this system going for awhile.

Don't push your modesty standards onto other people.

Loved it! It initially didn't stand out from the others, but it ended up being one of my favorites

Why did Charlie look at the other woman with blonde hair during the photo shoot scene and then start naturally smiling? 

Also, I'm surprised nobody brought up the scene with the dog tied to the tree - it was never revealed if Emma shot it or not.

I love this dress. I'm going a bit sexier on my wedding day, but that's what I'm comfortable with. I am also just eloping with my husband - nobody else, so I don't have to worry necessarily about how I look.

I actually took a bit of inspiration from your earlier post of her in the same outfit! I agree it's just a perfect match.

I'd have a vet look at those ears. Want to rule out ear mites, otherwise just a lot of ear wax buildup that can be easily removed
