So, this is sad but true. I earned my BA at Yale, and I loved about 99.99999% of my experience. University Health (DUH) fell into that remaining .00001% that I really hated.

I... I... I think I'm just going to have to stop merely shaking my head and do a complete possessed-Regan 360. That's just... it... nope. Utter doctor fail, do not pass go, go directly to jail.
I've found it's a complete crapshoot. I've definitely had university medical services pull some insane ish, but I've got to credit one nurse at my college with saving my life. I had been to the (university's) doctor, and then the (non-university) emergency room for the same pain, and I was sent home from both pretty…
Heh, here's my UHS story: I was diagnosed with HPV by a UHS provider (by inspection during an annual exam, no blood test or anything) when I was still a virgin. She was like, "This looks weird, you have HPV! Here's some info!" She sent me home with a sheaf of horrifying leaflets and I spent weeks in a haze of shock…
Yes — not to mention that it was due to the 'Rains of Fucking Castamere'! The Lannisters are obscenely wealthy, can they please pay some people to write new songs for their house / Westeros??
The interruption was offensive. OFFENSIVE.
This isn't about weight or even medicine. This is about university health centers at institutions like Yale infantilizing their female students. Trust me. Even as a graduate student at an Ivy League going to the health center was an incredibly infantilizing experience. I sat through many a slut shaming lecture at my…
SERIOUSLY. I won't shit on my school, but it's a top 25 US institution renowned for its medical school. Obviously that doesn't translate to a great health center. It was generally just meh, but there was one indelible time when a gyno who hadn't even taken my weight launched into a completely unsolicited tangent on…
My college had a lot of problems with Health Services. The worst thing I ever dealt with was being prescribed the wrong medication but I had a friend who went to Health Services to speak to a therapist when he was feeling depressed, the doctor declared him suicidal (he hadn't said he was) and sent him to a local…
I can't even figure that out after reading that twice. She was mad at you for going to an amusement park, and thought your lump was a result of going there? What the hell did amusement parks ever do to her to make her that warped?
My best health services story: I went in my freshman year with a large lump in my right breast. The doctor noticed I had a sunburn, and asked where I'd gotten it. When I told her I had gone to Great America the previous weekend, she yelled at me for wasting her time when obviously the lump was something I'd contracted…
You're noticing my newfound confidence in this circus tent I turned in to a wrap dress! FASHION FOR #REAL #WOMEN
I'm a man, not a lady. I'd love to move to a Muslim country, to be quite frank, but my job requires me to be in New England.
"...slept with 200 women...". Er, no. Slept with 200 girls maybe, but as a grown-ass woman I gotta say, I wouldn't fuck this pale, scrawny little child with my cousin's pussy.
Someone give Oscar an Oscar! (And also a life sentence for murder.)
It's like the Red Wedding all over again!
