I am still trying to understand why #healthcare and #publichealth still use the term ‘hard to reach’. Over the years I have noticed strangers will talk to me-unprovoked- and end up telling me their story or some issue they are navigating. This happened yesterday. 1/ 
I was sitting on bench soaking up the sun and a man passed by then pivoted back to tell me about the trouble he was having getting an updated ID. This was on his mind acutely because he had just come from the social services office. 2/
He was told he needed a bill to prove his identity but he lives in a building and doesn’t pay utilities. He was headed to a telecom store to figure out how to get a bill for his cell phone- which is pay as you go. In the end he talked to me for at least 15 minutes. 3/
I wonder whose bright idea it was that if a #vagina managed penetrative #sexual activity, it must be pliable to #insertion of the speculum 😒. Whoever that was definitely disregarded the physiology of sexual #arousal & vaginal changes in the moment that facilitate #penetration.
@vagina_museum shows that everyone's apparatus is different then how can #Gynecology stick to a one size fits all model? #publichealth should strive to develop minimally invasive self administered #screening tests & #gynaecologist must #research on making procedures comfortable.

This shows that topical #anesthetic agents reduce #pain and #discomfort during speculum manipulation. Why can't the usage of topical #anesthesia be a #standard process in #Gynecology? Why such blatant disregard for #patient #comfort? 😠 #misogyny much?
