About a month ago, after my constipation issues, this pleasant conversation took place.
Office Girl: Vagina doctors of Channel Islands, how may I help you?
Me: Hi, I missed my appointment last Thursday due to extreme constipation. I need to reschedule.
OG: You didn't show up for your appointment last week? Shame on you. I will take the next few minutes to get mad at you and make you feel guilty for missing your appointment...............................................Ok, which doctor do you normally see?
Me: Dr. Ferro (the only female at that practice)
OG: oh..... well..... she is out of town this entire week.
Me: No big deal, I'll make an appointment for next week.
OG: No, that's too late, it says here that you need to have your 16 week exam.
Me: No.
OG: um.....
Me: There is no way I'm going to a male Doctor for this. I'll wait for Dr. Ferro
OG: No, it will be too late, you need to come in asap.
Me: No way.
OG: I'll schedule your appointment
Me: I don't think you understand. I have a major problem with male doctors. I sometimes have to get internal ultrasounds because of previous cysts and there is no way that is happening with a male doctor.
OG: You still need to come in.
Me: Do you even know what an internal ultrasound is?
OG: I don't think you have to have one of those.
Me: You better make sure because if I come in and have to do any vagina stuff, I'll fake constipation and leave.
OG: Please hold.................................................
OG: Ok, you only have to have an external ultrasound.
Me: No vagina stuff?
OG: No vagina stuff.
Me: Promise?
OG: Promise.
Me: K - sign me up.
Don't worry, I just called back later and rescheduled with the chic doctor.
