            oh I’m LEAVING
            slams door
            comes back five minutes later and I forgot my keys and have to be asked to be let in

    I should go on and tell my own CervicalCheck story – nothing like the horrendous ones we’ve been hearing lately but unsettling enough to cause me to distrust them since.

    They carried out a procedure (Letz, I think it was called) that was unnecessary. I only found out much later by reading my file that it had not been necessary. It seemed to me at the time that they were trying to fulfill some kind of quota – or give someone inexperienced the chance to carry out the procedure – and I was furious, not least because it caused complications.

    The lesson I learned was I am in charge of my health and will never cede responsibility to some dubious medic. Inform yourselves, ask loads of questions and if they are dismissive or try to rush you into anything, leave immediately.

      someone close to me here had a horrible experience with her gyno being really judgemental about her getting a coil fitted even though she had no kids at 37 and didn’t want any
      couldn’t get her head around it and tried everything to dissuade the procedure
      had to change to a younger less ignorant gyno

        in Ireland btw
        because there is a mindset that thinks it’s unnatural for a woman not to want to breed

        Strange – usually when you go into the maternity at that age they look at you like what the fupp do you think you’re doing here – you can’t win

        any time a GP has questioned my need for the Pill “in case you change your mind” i’ve changed GPs. thank fupp for the WellWoman Centre, they don’t bat an eyelash.

        Lilly, I have been thinking about this – and it’s unacceptable.

        Are you aware that you have rights to your records. You can request them from HSE (under freedom of information) https://www.hse.ie/eng/services/yourhealthservice/info/foi/making-a-request/

        Once you have you r records you can have them checked by your GP or some doctor that you can trust.

        And if there is evidence that your treatment was done without any medical need – you can raise hell with the HSE.

        1. Lilly

          Thanks Cian. It’s so long ago (8 years) and was so traumatic at the time, I really just want to forget about it.

      fair play to him !
      I always prefer a male gyno
      much more sensitive
      no innuendo there for once

          Did you hear the one about the Ob/Gyn who became a burglar? He could rob the entire contents of a house through the letterbox.

    If you’re going to have a medical cannabis protest, don’t have it in Longford, have in Greystones Co Wicklow where both Simon Harris and Stephen Donnelly (Fianna Fáil health spokesman) are from!

      1. Shayna

        Clearly, I’ll be there – just so you’ll recognize me Johnny, I’ll be the unusually tall woman in a fedora.

        1. Johnny Keenan

          Good Shayna.
          I’ll be there with a plastic bag over someone’s head.
          Rubberbandit style obvs
