Gynecologist: What are you here for?
Me: I've reached the age of polyps and my internist thinks I have one on my cervix.
Gyn: The age of polyps?
Me: Two in my colon, one on my cervix, the occasional skin tag. Apparently being 54 turns one into a mushroom farm.

Told the mate this when I got home. He said, "You forgot your toes."
Awesome.
Awesome.
Anyway, the good news is, no polyp. My internist who is lovely and young didn't know what she was looking at. I said to the gyn, "Never send an internist in to do a gynecologist's job."
The gyn told me she has her internist due her pelvics and paps because she can't be bothered to schedule another appointment, but that her internist freaks out at having to do a pap on a gyn. "Just scrape harder! Come on! Get in there!" she told me she told her internist.
She said this while she was scraping hard at mine...because the internist got an inadequate sample for my pap. The gyn asked me "How ya doin?" I said, "I gave birth without painkillers so I'm reminding myself of that right now." Pretty sure she got a good sample. OW.
One more thing: They gave me a print-out of my previous answers to update before the exam. Apparently 3 years ago, when asked what my birth control method was, I said, "Statistics and squeezing hard." That does sound like me.
