What's up, Doc in Will Fly For Food

I drove to Watertown to see my gynachiatrist today. It’s been a while and I was overdue for the yearly poke and grope.

The nurse who took my info upon arrival was the same nurse who I have always seen. She acted like we had never met (it hasn’t been that long) and then asked me stupid questions. She asked me if I was married, then about our plans for children. I told her we had no plans, I’ve never wanted children, to which she ” Awwww’d”. Seriously? Child free by choice isn’t some sad thing. It’s Not an orphaned kitten or some sad tragic but yet somehow adorable thing. Then she asked me if I took any prescriptions.
No. “Not even birth control?”
Seriously? You have my fucking medical chart in front of you. You should know I have an IUD.
Me:”I have an iud”
Her:” how is your mirena working for you?”
Me:”not a mirena. Non-hormonal. Hormones didn’t work so well for me.” Like can you even read? Did someone change the font on your nurse-tablet thing to WebDings?

Later, I explain my symptoms and the doctor tries to tell me I need to take birth control pills. “Seriously? That is why I have the paragard. I can’t use hormonal birth control.”
Dr Sweatervest: ” Why not?”
Me : head desk

I literally give up on life and the entire medical profession.

I also hope I don’t get the stomach flu since my sister, her husband, their kids and my mom all had it earlier this week.
