Diary of the Bougie Broad

Life through the eyes of a young, quirky, intelligent, bougie broad.

Bougie.  Snobby.  Bratty.  Spoiled.  Uppity.  Pretentious.  Stuck up.  Snotty.  Self-centered.  Vain.  Conceited.  Sadiddy.  Bitchy.  Selfish.  Yes I have heard them all.  Do these words truly describe me? Not so much.  But either way, these words and many others, have shaped my thinking, how I see the world, and how I live my life.  My blog entries are not meant to be deep, educational, or life changing.  Rather just thought provoking.  I want to foster conversation (good or bad).  Thank you for gracing me with your presence (or should you be thanking me...hmmmm... just kidding!)

 

The appointment from HELL!

So Friday was going well until I took my lunch and went to the doctors.  I thought I would give myself a couples days to see if I could get over this before I blogged about it and clearly I am not over it.   So everyone must now suffer and listen to my story (for some this is the second time lol).  Ladies, you will understand me.  Men, hopefully you will empathize and realize how good yall really have it!

 

So on Friday I had my annual OB/GYN visit (already TMI, yes I know lol).  I dread this appointment every year because it just sucks.  Having someone invade such a personal area is a tad humiliating.  Anyways, I get there and find out that my new doctor (I discovered my previous doctor retired 6 months ago when I made my appointment a couple months back), soon to be ex-doctor, is a black woman.  I got excited because I never had a black female doctor and I figured this would be a nice change.  So here is where things began to go wrong…

 

  1. She said her name so fast that I didn’t understand a word she said.  She mumbled and hacked and coughed WITHOUT covering her mouth.  YUCK!
  2. She had ZERO personality.  Don’t doctors take a course in bedside manner during medical school?  I guess she failed.
  3. This broad had the NERVE to look at my feet in disgust as if she was offended that I didn’t get a pedicure.  I hope she enjoyed my hairy legs too.  Biznotch!
  4. She was rough.  Nuff said about that.
  5. She proceeded to open the door and leave the room while I was still in the freakin’ stirrups—butterball naked, oh wait, I guess I did have that horrid pink gown on *sigh*.

 So men.  Don’t ever complain about a prostate exam.  There is simply no comparison.  (Yes I realized I am dramatic but this is not news to anyone).

      So, 3 - 5, I'm totally in agreement with, she sucks for that. But 1 and 2, do you really want to have a conversation with someone while they're palpitating your womb? What does one say?

      I mean, I like my doctor and all, but I can only have an open conversation with her when I'm upright and preferable clothed.

        Dear StirrupRider,

        LOL.  Call my crazy but I would appreciate a little conversation during my exam.  I rather talk than deal with the awkward silence as someone probes my "womb" lol.  Nevertheless, I am glad that someone understands my point of view.  Come again!
