Mr. Gynecology

So today I went to my new ob/gyn for the first time. I would like to mention that Meadville Ob/GYN has been voted one of the best in the nation...so all the commercials and funny fallic looking awards claim. My grievances:
1) It was so damn hot I was sweating my ass off.
2) I had to wait over a half hour to be seen.
3) My doctor was a small foreign male. I generally prefer females but there is only one ob/gyn in a 45 minute radius so I have no choice for convenience sake. I do not like incredibly tiny people because I am not incredibly tiny. Foreign is no problem as long as I can completely understand what they are saying . In this case I could.
4) I spoke with the doctor before undressing. He asked me to get undressed and he would be in in a minute. It is customary to knock before entering especially when you know a person may be nude. I was ,shall we say, partially nude.
5) He shouted "You must cover up!" and threw a sheet over me.
6) When checked my breathing with his cold stethoscope he made me pull my gown out from under my ass so he did not have to listen through my paper thin gown. I know this is not necessary.
7) When he did my breast exam he jiggled them about. I have been visiting the ob/gyn since I was 16. This is over ten years of experience and I remember no jiggling.
8)THIS IS THE BIG ONE. I needed to have a routine pap smear. For those whose are not familiar, the doc puts a cold speculum into your vagina and uses the speculum to spread your vaginal walls wider so he can use an extremely large cu-tip to swab your cervix. Normally an extremely uncomfortable slightly painful proceadure for myself. However it never takes more than 30 seconds. This doc to way over 5 minutes and had to use four different speculums. While he was doing this he mumbled unpleasant things about my uterus. The nurse kept asking if she could help and at one point he said(loudly and sharply) "I need more light!). I did receive a small apology from both of them.

Now I do not think this doc was a perv because it just didn't seem so. One because the nurse was staring at him the whole time and two because I watch a shitload of Lifetime movies and know what signs to look for. But I have to say this is my third worst experience at the ob/gyn. The first being going to Planned Parenthood at 16 using the bathroom after the exam and seeing several speculums on the back of the toilet. The second being my unltrasound when I was twenty weeks pregnant...I had to drink sooo much water and they made me wait forever.

It should be noted that the doc was very knowledgable and this should not in any way dissuade someone from going to the Meadville ob/gyn.

I know your parents are in town so I don't expect answers to these questions over the phone.

I can see the look on your face as this small man is jiggling your breasts about. Did you use our trademarked "Oh!" in response?

Also, I want to know what kind of unpleasant things he was mumbling about your uterus.

Finally, is Steven going to charge in there and beat him up for getting 5 minutes of glory?

By the way...I was awake when you called last night however, I left my phone in the car...

I really could not understand everything he was saying about my uterus. But it did not sound good. I was too busy sweating and wincing in pain. Also when he shouted"I need the long ones!" referring to the speculum, I kind of went blank.

What a wonderful story to read at 7 a.m.
This will amuse me all day, in that disturbing way.

My primary OB was also a professional pyrotechnician.
