Scared / embarrassed to see a doctor?

[RMW]

I know an ER nurse who had a guy come in with a sweet potato stuck in his butt. He was too embarrassed about it and waited to get it taken care of. By the time he came to the ER it was bad infected and he eventually died from the infection. Im sure there are 1000 others just as weird or worse.

Why in the hell would anybody swallow a sweet potato whole?

Yep. A friend of mine works in an emergency room. He said he's heard every excuse of why things are in people's butts. He said it usually takes 3 or 4 stories before people fess up.

I’d rather be dead then to live with the fact that some people may know that I put a potato in my butt.

Guy I know that worked in the Parkland ER in Dallas said that guys came in more than once with gerbils in plastic bags inserted too far up their azz.

Playing with gerbils again, huh?

To hell with worrying. Just use it.

What I'm talking about

Got prostate cancer and get a digital exam (finger sweep) every year for 17 years. No, I'm not embarrassed anymore.

But yea I hate going because I'm always scared that they may find something but its better if they do.. It all sucks.

[CAHCAH]

Apparently a sweet potato will too.

Buddy of mine made a call as an emt and found a guys braces caught up in another guys...I’ll leave it at that. But they did transport them that way. Buddy said there was no way he was use his trauma shears to cut em apart. BTW go to the doctor ASAP!

Nothing to be embarrassed about. Had an infected prostrate years ago. Started with a Doctors PA checking it. Brought in the Doc for a second opinion. The Dr was a woman. Sent to a specialist and yep once again and then another after a month of antibiotics. LOL!

“Scared to death” comes to mind.

Doctors don’t give a ****, tell them what’s wrong and see if there is something to treat it.

Doctors do care but put you're self in their position. They see hundreds of people and you want them to be the one to hold you're hand and tell you it's going to be alright. Their there to do a job.
