1471annual exam

[evile]

Jun. 9, 2003

Went in for my annual today & tried to talk to Dr. Davis about
endometrial ablation. He treated me like I was a very nice retarded
person. I feel so humiliated & stupid. Like, I mentioned the fact
that I've been with the same partner for 8 yrs, and we don't want
kids, and then he was all "Oh, but endometrial ablation isn't a
sterilization method"...and I was all "Yes, I know, but it does have
a negative impact on fertility and I wanted you to know that I'm OK
with that"...and then he started talking about essure, which is a
kind of tubal sterilization, which would be fine, too, but mainly I
want OFF the depo and I want my endometrial lining out of commission,
so it doesn't go putting stuff in the wrong place & trying to kill
me. I don't think I got my idea/fears/concerns across ATALL, mostly
because I don't think he was really listening...it's so goddamned
frustrating.
