I had a dermatologist once that kept calling me “m’lady.” Can you imagine, “Well, m’lady, I could prescribe this or that to you. But m’lady, let me explain the differences…”

Yeah, my mom had a mastectomy 2 weeks ago, and two lumpectomies before that. Every surgery she’s had, her doc has said “Don’t worry, soon this will be just a lump in the road!” Like it’s the funniest effing joke in the world. Miraculously, I have not punched him yet.

But, my Moms just got the cancer free pathology stamp a few days ago, so I guess I’ll let him slide, bad boob jokes and all. I hope yours are totally fine.

My first OB also needed an major update on sexual politics…
He directed most of the questions to Craig, my husband, and after the exam he said “She’s perfect”. (Again to Craig). Then he turns to me and says, “See ‘the girl’ up front for your next appointment”. If he hadn’t been older than dirt it woldn’t have been as lol funny.
Hope everything turns out OK : )

Remember I had breast cancer in 05 and just finished Ovarian Cancer Chemo in July. Poor judgement to say the least however maybe he was trying for levity and didn’t do so well..If you need to ask any questions feel free to email me and I’ll pass on my phone number.

Blessings and prayers for you…

Fire Him. If you do have cancer do you really want a doctor who’s going to treat you like his own personal Barbie?

Ditto Jenny. Ditto. If you don’t have ovaries you’re not allowed to tell me “that pain is normal” when you pinch them.

And THAT is why I only go to female doctors, whenever possible. I just generally feel that no matter the education, you can’t truly understand my body unless you have the same parts.

First, (((HUGS))) for what you’re going through. Second, if he’s the best in the area I’d overlook it. If he’s not, I’d do what I had to do to be comfortable.

Thinking of you and sending healthy thoughts your way.

I find those visits very uncomfortable. My doctor is always so nonchalant about it and I’m totally self conscious. Hope hte breast issue is nothing – I had a lump last year which turned out to be nothing but I was so worried when I found it…I had been considering getting boob job (ok size A and five children not a pretty sight) but after that I put that thought on hold. It gave me a different perspective ……
Enjoyed your post and hope your issue is nothing
Cheers,
Anita

Leaving the pc BS aside for a moment, let’s hope all is well with you and your boobs when you see him next week, Doll.

You broads need to lighten up.
