My current dr, whom I love, does this.

Two years ago I was living in a hotel room after a total-loss house fire, which is needless to say an enormously stressful situation. My vagina has always been very sensitive to stress. She’s a special snowflake, for sure. Additionally, my whole vagina self-care routine was disrupted by our loss. I was basically

“I’m so very sorry, but when we were stitching you up Dr. WTF sewed his finger to your labia. It didn’t worsen the tear, but fluids mixed and we do need to do an HIV test. After we re-sew.”

ugh I was waiting for the OBGYN comments to add mine.

During an election season pelvic exam a few years ago, my gyno said of my uterus, “Hm, you seem to be leaning a little to the right.” The phrasing startled me and I blurted out, “Well, that’s the only part of me that does!” And that’s how I ended up having a political discussion with my doctor while she was wrist deep

I could probably produce a whole bunch of tales about this, but I’ll settle for the most recent outing, which contained no less than THREE things you’d rather not hear a doctor say. (And if any of my real-life friends read Jez comments, I’m about to doxx myself, so.)

Having my GYN tell me I have really strong muscles. She said that I needed to relax and stop pushing her out. Also having another GYN tell me I was tilted (??) and might have to make another appointment to try again for another pap b/c she didn’t plan on being up there that long.

My wife, during her single days, got a condom stuck in her. She said she’ll never forget the look on the internist’s face as he plucked it out with a barely concealed look of disdain on his face.

Not MY doctor, but A doctor (I worked in OB/Gyn for 5 years, I heard a lot of gross stuff).

Okay so it’s not really “gross” and I probably told this story before, but it’s still hilarious to me.

Me too! Journalists seem very confident that lawsuit would go nowhere though (story was clearly in public’s interest) and that Trump’s full of threatening bluster (and little else). Also, the Times has great insurance + lawyers. So I’m not worried about them. . . .They don’t seem worried either: they just re-tweeted

The word on the street (and by “street,” I mean “twitter”) is that he is threatening the journalists w/ lawsuits (I believe he has threatened at least one woman too). Journalists are like, BRING IT THE FUCK ON because they seem fairly certain that he won’t survive discovery. They all want a reason for lawyers to

They’ve also released Katrina Pierson from wherever they were hiding her. Her talking points are gloriously unhinged.

Wow it’s the ol’ compound interest of lechery! The bankruptcy’s moral this time!

When I think of a cad, I think of a guy like Hugh Grant - openly sleeping with multiple women, having kids with them - but by all accounts, the women don’t mind (or at least don’t complain) and he seems like he cares for the women and kids, he’s just open that he’s not a one-woman man. Not my cup of tea, but nothing

“I’ll take you out for steaks” is only second to “I’ll take you out for furniture”.

Don’t forget furniture shopping.

For anyone else overwhelmed by all that’s going on right now.

This makes me feel kind of slightly sad for Melania. The reporter says repeatedly that Melania was really sweet towards her and genuinely did not seem to have any idea about Donald’s nastiness - that as soon as she’d come into the room, he’d turn and become the doting husband. I’d have to imagine that she understood

I take this extremely seriously and I feel so heartbroken for this reporter.
