Re: Stupidest Thing You've Ever Hear Out of a Doctor

That second story reminds me of an experience I had a few years ago.

I had a sore throat. And it wasn't going away. And it was getting worse. Made a doctor's appointment. The day before my appointment, I woke up and I couldn't eat. I could barely even open my mouth! Not only was the pain intense as fuck, but the back of my throat had swollen. So, I called up the doctor's office and asked if I could come in right away.

Get there, the Physician's Assistant sees me. I explain to him what's going on, and he says, "oh silly, it's just post-nasal drip!" And I'm like, "...what." He goes to look down my throat, and I'm opening my mouth as wide as I can (which wasn't very wide) and cringing from the pain of doing so, and he says, "c'mon, you can open it wider than that!" So, being eager to please, I strain to try to open it even more, to very limited effect, and it feels like someone's stabbing my esophagus, and he peers inside, and his face falls, and he exclaims, "OH MY GOD YOU HAVE AN ABSCESS" (I'm not exaggerating. He shouted). Then, he tells me he's going to have to grab the physician to take a look at me and leaves.

Comes back. Physician takes a look (he was, at least, more gentle), says, "yes, you have an abscess. This needs to be taken care of immediately because [all sorts of terrible possible complications]. I am going to write you a recommendation for a ear, nose, and throat specialist and send you to him today." So now I'm a little pissed, because jackass PA put the screw to my jaw because he thought that my fucking abscess was just post-nasal drip and didn't trust me that it wasn't because I was a woman in my 20s and knew what the fuck post-nasal drip felt like by then, and I'm also freaked out.

Get to the specialist, he takes a look, and says, "you're fine. It's just tonsillitis. Here's some antibiotics and a painkiller. It'll go away in a couple of days."

GAAAAAH.
