Identified but not solved

[waterspyder]

So my mysterious sex mishap has been identified as a cervical polyp. Yay. I still have to run other tests to make sure it's not something else more fun like cancer. It's probably the polyp. Bad news... My appointement to have it looked at by a professional is MARCH 8, 2005!?! WTF? Am I the only person not cool with this?

Unfortunately there have already been bad mishaps with fingers. Really, nothing kills the mood faster than "Oh, you're covered in blood"... well, for most people anyway lol.
I guess my scepticism with the medical system comes from my being very familiar with it and realizing that even the best doctors don't always leaf through your 74 pages of medical history to find that relevant precursor. I learned quite a few years ago that the best person to keep me healthy is me. I'm the one that remembers my medical background, not the guy (or girl) working 60 hours a week and seeing 300 patients in that time. Time to send reminders.
