never fear, my blogger is here
well actually, i knew it was here all along, but i just never felt like writing in it. i've been having some pretty bad writer's block lately and i haven't been able to summon up enough stuff to place into a paragraph and make it interesting for you to read...until yesterday.
being a fellow female, i can safely say that there is definitely one type of doctor that us ladies fear [dread] to see--the gynecologist. there are so many things that are just awkward about this clinical visit that can make any person squirmy. firstly, that age-old question of whether or not socks should be worn while you go visit your doctor. i guess this one is just for consideration of the doctor since the doctor is so close to your feet...but then again, that's the last thing your doctor's face should be worried about being so close to. secondly, the thought of having some foreign metal object being inserted and flexed like some duck's bill does not make a girl any more comfortable than she might be with her legs supported by an unfriendly stirrup. thirdly, not only is it plenty awkward to have a stranger look up your privates and scoop things out for lab tests, it's unfriendly when their cold hands reach up to give your girls an exam.
however uncomfortable this doctor's visit may cause us ladies to be, it's something we have to go through with; it's just a facet of being a woman. and even though this is something we all eventually have to deal with, there is one thing [it's a personal opinion] that i would like to be in control of: in my mind, a gynecologist is shortened to gyno for a reason--"guy-no" a.k.a "no-guy"
i don't think any right man will raise his hand eagerly in medical school saying he's found his one true passion in life and that's to look at vaginas all day long. not saying that it's a sexual thing, but i just think that it takes a woman to know a woman...it makes life easier without having to explain it to some man who's studied it all from a text book.
