where are the weeks going
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. That is awful. Did you report it?
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.
Thanks Cian. It’s so long ago (8 years) and was so traumatic at the time, I really just want to forget about it.
My ex is the only male midwife in Ireland? Just sayin.
fair play to him !
I always prefer a male gyno
much more sensitive
no innuendo there for once
haha! yeah they’re way more gentle with the smears.
I thought you said shears
nah that’s the symphysiotomy surgeons.
(sorry)
(not sorry)
He’s a pioneer. Fair play to him.
It’s a dirty job, but somebody’s got to do it! :-D
He should take a drink after looking up women’s hoo has all day
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.
