It’s hard for a girl to talk about her gynecologist in mixed company so I’ll make this easier for any boys out there reading. There will be no discussions of pap smears, discharges, lumpy breasts, breakthrough bleeding, or menstruation. Geerosss! You guys just keep on believing our junk is tender flower petals. Feel free to stop reading here if you want. Dr. Nix is growing on me after seeing him for a few years. He’s very personable and will come and talk to me before I even take my clothes off. Then he comes and talks to me again after the exam. He really takes his time with me. He talks to me about EVERYTHING, even making me blush at times. Anyone out there have their gyno ask you if you«ever use fruit» sexually? I won’t go into details but that still makes me crack up(I was a little speechless). One of my tests was wonky once and he walked me through the results and the somewhat scary procedure I had done because of it(no, it wasn’t banana extraction :). And his nurse, his sidekick, his«straight man», Mary, is the queen of making you comfortable. «You’re having(x test) done? Oh, I had that done too. No big deal. This is what’s gonna happen…». They have obviously been working together for some time cause they have a very casual banter that puts you right at ease and makes you crack jokes even when you’re in the most compromising position. Just a note about his other office staff(with their«They love us on Unilocal» sticker prominently displayed). One of my visits was incorrectly billed and I have officially spent a year and a half to get them to fix the problem, calling several times, talking to several different people who said they would take care of it, and still getting calls from collection agencies. Today, I brought the bill in and explained it all to Dr Nix himself. Twenty minutes after leaving, the office manager called and said it would no longer be a problem for me. Hopefully no more collections calls, but I wrote her name down too just in case! So, yeah, I’m really beginning to like and trust this doc(which is real important when handling«the rose petals»). I also see him from time to time at Brack where we both work. I have always averted my eyes in embarrassment both because I don’t know if he’d recognize me from the waist up and also because he knows me so «intimately». But now, I think I’ll just walk right up to him and say«HI!» and offer him a banana…
