Pap Smears

[cred]

Oh yes. Pap smears.
I went to an OB-GYN clinic today. The morning started off painfully boring because I wasn’t allowed to do anything but observe. I was bored to tears.
But then, in the afternoon, it got busier and I was actually allowed to do everything from taking patients back to assisting the doctor with his appointments.

And they were all pap smears.

The first couple, I was thinking ‘Alright, seeing something new. Getting to participate. Woo-hoo!’
The next couple were like, ‘Hmm. Well, see one, you see them all, right? Not my thing for an everyday career personally, but that’s okay…’

By the end of the day, it was, ‘If I see another pap smear again, it will be too soon!!’

That was pretty much my day.

Love,
Laney

PS- Here’s some help with beating those nursing smells…learned in first semester

    aww lol!

  1. ahhhhh…. illustrations… I like!

  2. me likey pictures…

  3. “If you seen one you’ve seen them all” LOL!! & Ewwww…. I’d rather see a baby come out then see or do pap smears all day… makes my knees clamp shut just thinking about it!

  4. hahaha! Love it! I worked in an ob/gyn office for 6 years; the last year or so as a medical assistant….and I’m seen more paps than I ever thought I’d see in my life. And after a while, it’s like nothing! One thing I could NOT get used to, though, was pessaries, having to clean the woman before a new one was put in…yeah…couldn’t get used to that. But thanks to my time at the office (which, actually, is my own dr’s office, lol), any gyn topic seems like normal dinner conversation to me! :)
    enjoy!
