She was all like, Hi! How are we feeling today!
And I was all like, ______________ !
And she was like, still having symptoms?
And I was all like, would I still be here?
She was all like, so it burns at the start of the pee.
I was all like, no, it doesn’t burn at the start of the pee, it burns all the time, up into my wahoo. And I’m bleeding. Remember me?
She was all like, no, it burns at the start of the pee, right?
I was all like, no, it doesn’t, it burns all the time, low-grade, into the vast, organ-packed nether-region that I have come to understand is my pelvis.
She was all like, no, you’re saying it burns at the opening of the urethra. Do you know what a urethra is?
I was all like, yes, I know what a urethra is, and I’m about to remove mine by hand and strangle you with it. NO, the opening of the urethra is not where it burns.
She was all like, of course it is.
And I was all like, duuuude, my entire pelvis feels pressure, and there is a road that burns up into the pelvis, and I am uncomfortable, and it feels like someone has dental floss tied around my cervix and is pulling my uterus out.
She was all like, well, that’s not happening.
I was all like, I know, I asked the ob/gyn about a prolapsed uterus in its early stages.
She was all like, IN YOUR FACE, THAT WOULD TOTALLY HAVE SHOWN UP ON THE ULTRASOUND, WENCH.
I was all like, no shit, Sherlock. But a simple kidney cyst of a fairly large size DID show up on the ultrasound. Could that have anything to do with anything?
So then she was all like, LET ME TAKE A FUCKING DUMP ON YOUR KNOW-IT-ALL HEAD, YOU SACK OF SHIT, THERE IS NO KIDNEY CYST.
And I was all like, let me tell you something, you discarded dead lab rat’s vagina, there IS a kidney cyst, and even my fucking FRIEND who came with me for moral support diagnosed THAT sucker from across the room, so BLOW MY URETHRA.
So then she was all like, LISTEN, YOU DISEASED CROCK OF SOME STD MEDICAL SCIENCE HAS YET TO DISCOVER, IF YOU HAD A KIDNEY CYST, I WOULD FUCKING KNOW ABOUT IT.
And I was all like, really? Because your buddy the radiologist? Guy-O who has five kids because his wife had a faulty Dalkon Shield in 1970? HE mentioned the kidney cyst, but he failed to mention the CONSTELLATION OF FOLLICULAR CYSTS JAMMING UP THE I-95 JENNY FERTILITY EXPRESSWAY EXTENSION, BEE-YOTCH. What up with THAT?
And she was all like, oh, how is Dr. Silver? He’s such a sweetheart.
And I was all like, well, we know his frickin’ sperm are monsters, but hey, BACK TO ME.
And she was all like, EVERYBODY has FOLLICULAR CYSTS, you precocious, Google-addicted, fat-assed slut. Even Dr. Silver has them. Even Dr. Silver’s sperm has them. Shut up about your stupid motherfucking follicular cysts. I’m tired of hearing about them. Let me pound on your abdomen for a while.
And I was all like, damn, baby, that hurts. JAYSUS MARY AND JOSEPH.
And she was all like, TAKE IT. TAKE IT. TAKE IT.
And I was all like, I purposely did not wear my winter boots today, whore. I wore slip-ons. HA!
And she was all like, you feel that? That disgusting lump? TAKE IT TAKE IT TAKE IT. Feel that?
And I was all like, lady, fucking New Zealand felt that.
And she was like, did you have a bowel movement today, you doped-up sac of bipolar crap?
And I was like, no. Could you please not say “bowel movement”?
And she was all like, take a laxative, you little shit.
And I was like, did you forget the part about my constant raging diarrhea, or was that your sweet twin sister who went to medical school?
And she was all like, hmm. Shut up. Your chart says we didn’t find any bacteria in your urine.
And I was all like, friggin’ duhhhhh. That’s because your after-hours person put me on the bazooka drug Avelox so I peed rubbing alcohol into your cup.
And she was all like, hmmmm. Shut up. The ob-gyn’s chart says they found nitrites in your urine.
And I was all like, what does that mean?
And she was all like, fuck if I know. Let’s throw some drugs at it.
And I was all like, you DO know the ob/gyn already has me on Flagyl.
And she was all like, that’s METRODIANDALIDYSIZOALEZOLE to you, FUCKWAD.
And I was all like, whatever, it just seems like somebody should maybe culture the bacteria and find out what we’re dealing with, so I don’t go into anaphylactic shock, or kidney failure, or death from too many fucking providers who don’t communicate to one another.
She was all like, screw you and the mother you rode in on.
And I was all like, oh, by the way? WHAT UP with your peeps not taking my temperature, like, ever? At the ob/gyn? My temp was in between 95-96F. Is it true there’s a low temperature syndrome? Or could there be thyroid issues?
And she was all like, you need to dress more warmly, dumbass.
And I was all like, I sleep with three quilts, flannel pajamas, a fleece robe, and a fire hazard shooting Easy Bake Oven temperatures at me all night. In the morning, I’m a red velvet cupcake. And I still can’t get warm.
And she was all like, talk to the diploma.
I was all like, my BP is 100/60. I am as pale as a fucking marshmallow, and I don’t know where the fuck my pee is going, if it’s not going into the toilet. I am peeing thimbles of liquid. My cat would die if it had to live on the amount of water that I am peeing. So I don’t think a new fucking parka from Lands’ End is going to save the day, asswipe.
And she was all like, That’s it, you twisted dick-licker. You’re going to the urologist. I bet you’ve got a urethral stricture. A kink in your urethra, you kinky douchebag. Just you wait and see what he’s going to do to straighten that sucker out. Yeah. Good luck with THAT, shit-slime.
And I was like, if my uterus falls out, I am stuffing it in a USPS box and mailing it to your home.
And she was like, I’ll hang it on my wall right next to my diploma, you tumor-engorged monkey.
And I was all like, I want my paperwork. My blood work.
And she was all like, I don’t know if the printer’s working today.
And I was all like, I’ll wait.
And she was all like, great seeing you.
And I was all like, yeah, thanks.

Holy CHRIST is that the funniest funny fun thing I have ever read or what? It like totally is!!!
Holy Joepsh I can not even believe how awesome this is! Like for real an shit!
Holy Mother of Mary herself I have shite myself with the laughing and I DON’T EVEN CARE!
You my dear one have made my day…now please give me this persons address so I can properly stalk her and make her life a LIVING HELL. Thanks.
Roooooo
Are you *sure* you aren’t seeing military doctors? I swear all of my visits are just like that!
(feel better soon, yo.)
GRR! Doctors that don’t listen and try to hustle you the eff out of their office PISS ME OFF. I’ve switched gynos and family physicians because of that very issue!
Praying that your urologist doesn’t have his/her head up his/her ass.
<3
Oh my goodness. I’m so sorry you had to go through this appointment — and likely countless more like it — but for purely selfish reasons I’m glad you wrote it. Reminds me of the OB/GYN who told me I was an idiot for wanting a vaginal birth after cesarean — and then, of course, HE’D have to clean up the mess.
I’m a relatively new reader, but will be back.
I just LOVE doctor’s visits like that, you diseased, bacteria-ridden, mentally imbalanced slut
Keep sticking it to them.
*standing ovation*
This, this, THIS!!!!!! should be stapled to every copy of the retarded dick-licking healthcare bill they have in the Senate.
Or at least they should read it ad infinitum on any filibuster.
Stuff her.
Ha ha! I didn’t want to laugh because I was concerned about you and your health, but it was so funny I couldn’t help it! You had me riding twin rails of concern and laughter. Grrr I hope you get a good doctor soon! Whatever you have sounds horrible. So sorry.
No, no, PLEASE laugh! This was the best course of therapy by far, writing this filthy piece of BLEEEEEP BLEEEP BLEEEEEP.
I feel a little better already. I think maybe I just need to swear more.
Oh dear gods. I’m so sorry.
This suddenly reminds me of that Far Side cartoon with the dog (like that narrows it down) – all this doc heard was “blah blah blah URETHRA blah blah blah UTERUS blah blah blah”….. Sucks. Switch doctors and then write a long calm explanatory letter about how their suckage is why you left.
Your doctor is a preexisting condition.
I took flagyl in the 90s, for licking things I shouldna licked, btw. At least the licking part was fun.
head dumping isn’t covered by my HMO
Bwahaha! Well said. And oh, I am so sorry for that *undiagnosed* pain – yikes! Good luck…
You are f*cking hysterical.
Just wish it weren’t about your lady bits.
Sigh.
I just wet my pants. Oops, that was insensitive. Freaking hilarious, J. But I really do hope the urologist can sort this out. xo
ahh, hysterical!
i called you hysterical!
hysteria comes from the UTERUS (so saideth Freud).
it’s another symptom!
Now THAT was hilarious!!! I’m telling you David Sedaris has nothing on you… I still see your pieces in a book just like D.S.
I’m sure it’s just stress.
(ducking)
This was hilarious.
That was awesome, and therapeutic, I imagine.
I think I know that doctor!!
(Oh, your head is a rich, rich playground. Mostly lots of fun but probably scary at night, huh? LOL)
Can’t stop laughing!
YOU GO, WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hang on with those teeth and don’t let go until they figure it out and FIX IT. Here’s a great book idea–how about a collection of stories from women–or even men-who have stood up to their bullying medical “care” providers until they got treated with the degree of care and thoughtfulness a human deserves? I have several to get you started. I am proud of you.
i hope you kicked her with the slip-ons. and got out of there with your paperwork. and preferably, her diploma shredded into tiny drink-size umbrellas.
Gee, Jenn. I nominated you in the Best Writing category for the 2010 Bloggie Awards, but am beginning to think Best Humorous might be a better category?
Anyone who wants to pile onto the nomination before Tuesday, tomorrow, here’s the address: http://2010.bloggies.com/. Nominate BEAW in BOTH catgories.
(While there, folks, please nominate my Chezsven blog for Best Kept Secret!)
Oh boy, I SCREECHED when I read this. I left my family and came upstairs and I don’t want them to find me and I STILL screeched, hyena-style. Man, oh, man, that was some tirade. Here’s to hoping you start peeing more, soon. Or do you think you might start a thimble collection?
You have a mighty good sense of humor for someone who can’t pee, Jenn. This is prime BEAW stuff.
Could any of this be medication related? Could something be messing with your kidneys?
Oh my. My colleagues – they make me hang my head in shame sometimes. Some people just can’t handle smart patients.
Sounds like a pretty crummy doctor, but maybe the urologist can shed some light on things. Hang in there, friend.
(My code is XOVO – I know the x’s and o’s are hugs and kisses, which I surely send you, but I’m not sure where the V comes into play…)
Please warn multigravida readers in advance (we have bladder issues too!) … maybe something like “Slap on the Depends before reading!” That was awesome…. While you may be having issues expelling liquid – your writing inspires significant leakage. Tissues caught the tears, now I must change my panties… Love you!
Oh!! This is the best thing I have read in ages. It’s even worse if your dealing with inpatient care. Hope your urethra gets straightened out soon!
You had me at “TAKE IT. TAKE IT. TAKE IT.”
After that, I half expected the doctor to demand, “Deeper, deeper, deeper!”
And I figured you’d be all like, “Deeper? I’ve got your Nietzsche right here, bee-yotch.”
God damn that was good stuff.
Love.It.!
But seriously hope you find a doctor who will actually help you.
Seriously, I have a neck condition and laughing is bad for me. But this was SO worth it! Being funny when it hurts takes a very special person. I hope you feel better soon. And find a good doctor. And be happy. From the bottom of my heart.
Karen
I love how you are spreading the pain to all your readers – do you SEE what you DID to Karen’s neck?
This was exactly what I needed to read this morning – way better than my usual Wellbutrin & coffee pick-me-up.
Jenn, time for a new dr…. STAT! I hope they figure out what is going on soon.
Besides that, you are a genius! This is so well written and funny. You have such a gift! To make something like this, which is horrible and scary and unacceptable, into a hillarious story! You rule, Jenn. I hope you get some real help soon and feel better.
Hi-fuckin-larious! Except, oh, shit, you still hurt!
Good for you for honestly (and hilariously) expressing your feelings about this horrible experience. Doctors like that make you feel like they’re stripping away all your power, and you took it back. I SO pray that you will find someone with an ounce of humanity. Good luck…
That has got to be the most hilarious thing I have read in years, aaaaaaaaaahahahahhahaahah
and so TRUE, so true…I hate doctors.
Pow pow pow.
Never underestimate Jenn.
You are hilarious.
Please don’t let your uterus fall out though.
ps: I want to bring you to my house, make you chicken soup (would you eat elk?) and put you in front of my south-facing windows to soak up that medicinal southwestern sun; I really do.
And then I’d take you to my kick-ass naturopath.
Goddamn, woman! That doctor is horrific!
i am sending this to my doctors. all of them. Because not only is it hilariously funny, it’s a real lesson in how not to treat a patient. And although all my doctors are great (really), they all teach at that major medical school in Longwood and honestly, those kids can learn from this tirade.
Now, I have insight into your medical condition, having gone through some similar stuff recently during my hospital stay, and I can also help you to not have any medical bills, because our state does allow for freecare for low income families. Just ask and I”m happy to help.
Best.Post. Ever.!
Greatest post, Jenn! So funny!
