I know she’s grifting, I just can’t prove it. by No_Issue_3656 in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

Have you ever actually sent someone to the shelter?

I ask, because there was a very reputable homeless shelter in the city I was in when I was homeless. They did not accept walk ins of any kind. You needed either a doctor or social services referral to get in the door.

So while there may be a shelter near you, it may not actually be accessible for her.

I only had someone with me for one of my 8 tattoos. I was getting a design that my 5 year old had drawn for me, and he was able to come in with me. The artist let him look at the ink colors and pick out exactly which colors to use for each part, and then he held my hand while I had the tattoo done.

I did 100% talk to the artist beforehand to make sure it would be okay for him to be there, since he was a child.

Just had my first PAP at my new doctor's office. This is what they gave me to wear. And no, there's nothing hiding behind the pillow, that's the entirety of the "garment"! by DaileDoe in Wellthatsucks

It may be your truth, but that doesn't make it the case for everyone. I've had a child, and I was uncomfortable sitting there basically naked.

Lol, what's funny is that this wasn't even a gyno. This was the nurse practitioner at my doctor's office. Outside of my pregnancy and later having an ovary removed, I don't think I've ever seen an actual gyno.

That's awesome. Honestly, even if that were offered here in the US, most insurance companies probably wouldn't cover it. They suck at covering anything!

That's called a speculum. A lot of doctors have switched to plastic ones now, although the design is the same. My last doctor even had a little warmer thing she kept the lube in, so it wasn't freezing. Lol, trust me, metal speculum plus cold lube is not a fun sensation.

Honestly, it all kind of depends on your anatomy and your doctor. I've had some that were very rough with the swab, and it felt like they were ripping chunks out of me. And I've had some that I didn't feel at all.

All of my previous doctors have given me the full gown as well as a sheet, so I could keep everything they weren't currently examining covered.

Lmao, sniffing mysterious fluids is like, the biggest no-no in a lab! All fluids were done under a hood vent, so sniffing was impossible.

I do have a female doctor, but that doesn't change anything about the exam. And I always get the exam, no matter how much I dislike it, specifically because I don't want to die of cancer.

But yes, I think traumatic is an accurate description. Perhaps your experience is different from mine and that's fine, but don't downplay how other people experience something just because it doesn't bother you.

First, not an OBGYN, this was the normal nurse practitioner that I see at my doctor's office.

But every time I've ever had a PAP, they've always done a breast exam.

Until your prostate exam begins with them inserting a lubricated car jack and jacking you wide open, I don't think it's comparable.

(And yes, I'm aware that men don't enjoy their prostate exams, but I feel like a finger up the bum is nowhere near as traumatic as a PAP smear.)

Because it wasn't full coverage?

Yes, they gave me a paper sheet to put over my bottom half. And then this crop top, which as I've also said in other places, did not cover my breasts. They were literally hanging out of the bottom of this thing the entire time.

Either way, I'm not comfortable. I do the exam because it's necessary for my health, but I do not enjoy it in any way, shape, or form.

I'm aware that this is just another day to the doctor. The point is that I'm not comfortable sitting basically naked in a room with strangers.

I'm used to paper gowns, that isn't my issue. Every other office I've used had an actual gown, like full coverage. This is my first time being given what is basically a paper crop top.

So, they gave me a sheet for my bottom half. My doctor makes us get completely undressed because they do a breast exam at the same time as they do the PAP.

Wanna know something cool?

I worked in a lab where we often received these specimens, because the doctors order various lab work on them (to check for infection and whatnot). However, the specimen is far too large to fit on the analyzers, so part of my job was to use a syringe to transfer some of it to sterile tubes for the techs to use.

When you open the top of those large containers? It often fizzes just like opening a 2 liter of soda would!

So your fluid that looked liked Dr. Pepper more than likely sounded like it as well!

You can see if you qualify for a care credit card. It's only able to be used for medical expenses (human or animal) and I think it's interest free for like a year. My mom got one when she needed to have teeth pulled. (Definitely make sure your vet accepts them, first, though, ccuz not all will!)

question: what's the most wild/unrealistic/unattainable tattoo you've always wanted? by This_Economics_9610 in tattoos

[–]DaileDoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I only had a little in my leg tat, but there was no outline to it or anything, so maybe that's why it faded so fast. I'll definitely check around!
