Doctors who see "much worse"...

mopsie · March 2010

I've always heard the advice "oh, don't worry about that... doctors see much worse" when I've asked about shaving, pooping on the table, hemorrhoids, yeast infections, etc. But SOMEONE has to be that "worst" case... how bad do you think it has to be to get those honors???

LaurelBee · March 2010

YES! I've always wondered that too.

And, do smelly people realize they are stinky? Or do they just not know?

A friend of mine who is Italian jokes about how, if left unattended, she looks like she's wearing furry boyshorts.

Hmmmm not sure. I did poop a tiny bit while pushing. Maybe I'm the much worse (although, it's hard for me to believe that).

mrosekepple · March 2010

I don't know, but I certainly don't want to be the "worst".. it's all pretty terrible though, maybe there isn't one that stands out as the worst.

On a side note, a lady I know just gave birth a month ago and her water broke on the doctor.. maybe this isn't that abnormal, but nonetheless, I would be embarassed that happened to me Embarrassed

Are you the dentist, right? Tell us about the WORST mouth you've ever seen. Big Smile

Like I'm sure there are people who forget they have a dental appointment and don't brush RIGHT before they go in. But you have to have patients that NEVER brush their teeth - ever - right? I want a good story!!!

No way... my friend is an OB resident and she said that 95% of patients poop on the table, and that doesn't phase them at all. She's also the same one who told me doctors don't care if you shave down there. I just wonder what they DO worry about! Maybe I'll ask her... Smile

Yeah, this always freaks me out! I camp and backpack, and I get stinky, but I'm well aware of it! How do people walking around in society not realize it???

My friend's friend (not an urban legend, I actually met the girl this happened to) said that she was laboring on her hands and knees and sharted and it flew onto the wall!!!! ROTFL!!!!! She said that the dr's actually told her that wasn't the worst that they've seen. but I can't imagine anything worse than that.

I had to share a room when I taught, I would go in after the most horrid smelling girl was in there with another teacher. I asked that teacher about it and she said some days, she had to write her a sticky note that said, "You smell. You need to go to the nurse." She had tried talking to her about it in the hallway, but she really had no clue how bad it was. Oh, and due to air circulation or something, it was strictly forbidden to open windows. We did it anyway! Or I'd say, hey kids, how about class outside today!!!!

That is hilarious and embarrasing at the same time. That poor girl!

The only time I REALLY got grossed out was with a patient who had a crack in her denture, so every time she'd eat, food would get shoved up into the crack and would get trapped under the soft lining inside the denture... so when I took out the denture there was this bulge on the inside where all this nasty food was being "stored"... I took a scalpel and cut into it and it was seriously the biggest mistake I could've made. All of a sudden all this nasty food started falling out onto the floor and it smelled SOOOOOO bad I started gagging into my mask. Thank God I wasn't pregnant, otherwise I probably would've puked onto the patient!There was also the time when I found a popcorn kernel lodged between someone's teeth, so I pulled it out and said "I see you had some popcorn" and she said "yeah, like a month ago". That was pretty gross, too.

I usually love the gross mouths, but I've found that I'm not as tolerant of disgusting stuff now that I'm pregnant, so I'll occasionally gag when I pull out a huge hunk of chicken from between someone's teeth. Ugh... I get grossed out just thinking about it right now!

Ick! I knew you'd have something good for me! Mouths are so disgusting. I could never be a dentist!

And the thing is, someone will say to me "I must have the worst mouth you've ever seen" and I'll tell them "I've seen worse"... but sometimes that's a lie, and I want to say "yeah, yours is pretty much the worst I've seen". So how am I supposed to believe my doc when he says "I've seen worse"?

SICK! Since i went to dentist lately, I realized I am VERY conscious about my mouth even with the dentist.. I know they see bad mouths, but I will literally brush my teeth in the parking lot, and do a full rinse/spit with mouth wash before I go in....LOL

I would think that, for example, the 2-3 week old tampons that are literally rotting inside the vagina would be worse than any normal-range L&D has to offer.

wait... WHAT??? I guess there ARE things I haven't thought of!!! Toxic Shock Syndrome, anyone?

Mainer-in-Texas · March 2010

Unless you are a COMPLETE WEIRDO, do not worry about this. I have a friend who is a doctor, and some of the stories are INSANE - they all involve people doing ridiculous things to themselves (worse than rotting tampons).

So I sorta wanna know what kind of ridiculous things you're referring to, but I'm sure deep down I know better than to ask for details... Wink

There was a girl on the bump last year who told a story like this. She went to the doctor complaining about smelling and spotting everytime she and her boyfriend had sex. Her doc examined her and found an old (not sure how old) tampon up in there.

The chick could have been lying, of course, but I'm not sure why anyone would make up that story! She got a lot of these Indifferent as responses.

Sometime back in first tri, a person linked to a LnD nurse's blog, where this woman listed some of the weirder stuff she had seen. I distinctly remember one entry talking about how some woman came in because of bright-red spotting on 2/16. The on-call doctor checked her out.... and pulled out several strawberries from her hooha. She then realized that she hadn't been fully emptied out from Valentine's Day, lol!

So I like to think, yeah, there's a LOT of more memorable stuff that these doctors see!

Well, when it comes to hygeine issues, I'd imagine they probably saw a lot worse during the 70s crazy bush phase... We watched a childbirth movie at our class where there were these really scary hairy vaginas.. Like they had their own personalities and were narrating their own story.... *Gag*... At least it makes me feel better that I'm not always perfectly manicured because I can't reach!

I don't have a very vivid imagination, but I can't think of anything worse than a rotting tampon. I would say that the strawberry thing was classic though. Vag's are black holes, you can lose all kinds of things in there. LOL!!!!

hoshicat · March 2010

I said this in a post earlier this morning... but my gyn that I went to one time told me I had nothing to be embarrassed about because they get ladies who smell, and sometimes have green *** fluid leaking from them... among other things. I've always felt pretty darn good about myself since then.

I was pretty sad when I had my YI though... I had an allergic reaction and one labia doubled in size and the other quadrupled! Plus the swelling itself actually leaked and made everyone think my water broke at 20 weeks...

Yeah those poop stories are all normal. Just don't self induce with castor oil. It left one lady to have diarrhea in labor and it shot out everywhere including the ceiling.
