Oh my, I definitely REFUSE to go to this clinic anymore. This is what happened:
I haven't been menstruating for four (4) months, all cos' of some "small-tumour" in my body. My previous doctor says it's too small to be removed. Therefore I can only have two choices:
1. To take medication, make it smaller then disappear as time goes by.
2. Wait for it to become bigger then remove it (safer as it wouldn't come back)
Obviously, I took the first choice. -.-"
Okays, I went to this clinic to get my usual hormones medication to make my menses come earlier. They insisted on doing an ultrasound or what we commonly known as, the "scan", so I relunctantly agreed. Previously, before visiting the clinic, I called and they told me to drink tons of water. (really weird, other clinics do not practise, or at least my previous one did not practise this) So, I did, out of the sake of my medication. When I first went in, my dialogue with the doctor is as follows:
Doctor: Hello, so what can I do for you today?Me: Oh, I haven't been menstruating for the past three to four months.
Doctor: Have you had sex or do you think you have a chance of getting pregnant?Me: Nopes, no sex and no chance of getting pregnant obviously.
Doctor: What makes you so sure?Me: Eh, doctor ah, I've got
NO SEX ACTIVITY, how to get pregnant?!
Doctor: Alright, since you're so sure, when is your last period?Me: Eh, around December... (still thinking)
Doctor: Exact date? Before or after christmas?Me: Ehs, I think after christmas. Might be 26th. But hor, previously... (got
CUT off by him)
Doctor: Okay, stand up, go to the bed, we're going to do the scanning.Me: Oh, okay. (walked over there and I asked
VERY politely) So I have to take off my shoes?
Doctor: Of course lah! You think your house, your room, your bed ah! Where got your bed clean then make people bed dirty one?!(I'm starting to get frustated when this happens...)After scanning...Doctor: Oh! You got no urine in your bladder, can't get accurate scannings. I'm going to do scanning inside you.Me: Oh, okay. Can I drink water and wait outside instead?
Doctor: I got no time for that.Me: Okay loh, then you scan loh. (
Reluctantly agreed when I don't even know what's that)Nurses came in after a while...Doctor: Take off your panties and skirt.Me: You mean remove the whole thing or only pull it down?
Doctor: Do you even understand english? Take off.Now, I'm FREAKING angry. I AM PAYING YOU TO GET MY MEDICATION!Doctor: Put your butt at the bed side and open your both legs.Me: Huh, for what? Why must like that?
Doctor: That's the "inside-scanning" procedure.He started taking the "stick" and squeezed some gel onto it. Then, he rubbed against my "darling" and in he poke the "stick" !!!WHAT THE HELL! EXCUSE ME, DID YOU EVEN TELL ME THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN?!!Me: Eh doctor,
VERY PAIN!Doctor: Don't move, relax. (he's teaching the new nurse when the freaking thing is stuck into my "darling")Me: Please, can you remove the thing before you teach your nurse?
Doctor: Little bit also cannot stand the discomfort. (mind you, it's PAIN, not DISCOMFORT)So this went on and his rambling went on...
When I finally walked out of the consultation room, my face was totally charcoal. So Sam asked me what happen, I told her that I'm FREAKING unhappy and told her the whole experience. She laughed and told me NEVER to come again. I agreed.
This is the thing that went into me:
