Tongue Firmly in Cheek
by Sarah Lena ~ October 10th, 2007. Filed under: The Biotch.I went to the doctor today.
Well, actually not to MY doctor. I’m in rotation, see, so I just was scheduled with some stranger.
The stranger, as it turns out, was not an actual doctor, but someone who had watched three full seasons of “A Baby Story”. I had a lot of questions for her, but she didn’t have any answers if they weren’t covered in the episodes she had made time for.
I asked how she thought she would be fit to deliver my baby if she had never done this before. She said, “Well I’ve been reading about you. I’ve gone out to learn more about it.”
I asked if her “learning more” included any sort of medical degree. She said no. She seemed like she was getting offended. I tried to calm her down and explain that I would prefer a REAL doctor handling my child’s birth, not just some lady off the street with digital cable.
She said my arguments were silly and that she was clearly as certified as any “doctor”. (Yes, she used air quotes.) Needless to say, while some mothers might feel that this is a wise choice for their babies, I was not one of them. I closed my legs and left.
(None of this actually happened. This is based on a discussion over at Bryan’s site.)

That’s f*cked up. I think the only thing funnier would be if you went into a “rotation” check up and Joey Whalen was the doc.
