"So Doc, what was the point?"

[Free Thinker]

I just recalled an appointment I had with my optometrist. This was when I was younger. I went for a regular eye exam. I completely failed the visual tests. Why? I'm partially colorblind to green. I of course asked if there was anything that can be done, I go a plain, "No".

So Escapists, what was your most trivial doctor appointment?

I went in for a hearing test to find what I alrady knew: my hearing was fine.

I had my ***** of a doctor jam two needles into my thighs as hard as she could when I was 5 for a sore throat which she thought was strep.

Shit hurt like a mother fucker.

I still have the scars.

I went to a dentist once because I thought I had a cavity. The dentist spent a decent amount of time with my teeth before declaring that I have the beginnings of a cavity and should brush more. The trip wasn't a waste because I got a new toothbrush and a sticker out of the trip and found out I had nothing else wrong with my teeth but the 'tist wasn't as helpful as I thought he'd be.

Every checkup I have ever had. Pay 20dollar cover charge, wait for 20 minutes in waiting room. Get in the actual doctors room and wait 20 more minutes for the actual doctor to come in.

Leave after 20 minutes finding out that I am healthy, which I already knew.

PS: Yeah I used the number 20 a lot, get over it.

6 hours ago.

Went in, tried to make an appointment, was told my doctor had gone home early and that I was out of luck.

Had to walk home too. And it's cold out....

During check-ups my doctor asks me if I'm in any gangs *faceplam*.

I don't really have any, because I don't go to the doctor at every single little problem I think might be wrong with me (after searching up 50 possible terminal illnesses that may be the cause, of course.) All my doctors appointments end up being fairly interesting. The most trivial was probably when I ruptured my urethra by running into a low pole (yes, in my dick.) Shit hurt like hell, but apparently I just had to take a pee in the tub and it'd be all better.
Problem was I didn't have a bathtub at the time, so I just got a little jar of soothing cream which made things alright.

I went in to the doctor's office to find out if I should get any shots before going to Europe for the first time and after like a 2 hour wait I go in tell him that I'm going to Europe and if I could/should get any shots just in case. He's like no you'll be fine. It was literally like 30 seconds.
The kicker is that I got insanely sick the day after I landed and was confined to a bed for like 2 weeks.

Jeez dude. You have some of the WORST stories. GET THE FUCK OUT OF TENNESSEE! XD

Believe me, I want to.

All these threads are reminding me of how horrid my childhood was at times >_>

I once had a sore wrist so I had some x-rays done. The doctor glanced at them then couldn't see anything so I was sent for a bone scan. This involved having a radioactive isotope injected into me. The injection was quite painful and I have a problem with needles.

When I went back to the clinic to get the results, I saw a different doctor who said nothing showed up on the bone scan either... then she looked at my original x-ray again and saw fragmented bone which was causing the pain, which the radiology tech had already circled in red marker before the x-rays left the lab.

To this day I have no idea how the first doctor missed it.
