D&C

My follow-up visit consisted of my GYN drawing a picture of my cysts on printout of a uterus. He then explains to me that I will have to have them removed via a procedure calledDilation & Curettage (commonly known as a D&C). Even with that he made it seem like it was a very common procedure with women. You can check out a video of the procedureHERE if you are really curious like me.

So back under the knife I went. After the surgery my doc was confidant that things went as expected. He told me that it is recommended that I would come into the office in two weeks to get my test results but he told me that I wouldn't need to do that. I could just give him a call and he would give me (what he thought was going to be routine) my test results. Before leaving the hospital he told me to call the office and make my appointment for my annual PAP smear.

Fast forward two weeks and I call the office to schedule my PAP appointment. After the appointment was made I asked the woman on the phone if there was someone I could speak to that would give me my test results. She took my information and said that a nurse would call me back. I receive a call from the nurse and she told me that the doc would like for me to come in to discuss my test results. After a bunch of back and forth she finally said that she would have to speak with the doc and get back to me. Since I wasn't getting any information from her I finally asked her if I had to see the doc before my PAP appointment next week or could it wait. I was trying to gauge the urgency. Finally my doc calls me back and after a little bit of back and forth I finally asked the same question that I asked the nurse. Could this wait until my next appointment? He asked me what my appointment was for and as soon as I told he paused a second and offhandedly said.... Oh you won't be needing that appointment.

Gulp... Blink... What?
