the best thing my GYN has ever said to me

[cathyw]

"based on the lab results, I don't think we need that transvaginal ultrasound, unless you really want to go ahead with it."

("Doctor, does anyone actually *want* a transvaginal ultrasound?" She agreed that even for the patients who had them, "want" was an awfully strong word.)

(The lab results indicated that I was still in the Functioning Ovaries zone, which kind of surprises me. I mean, I'm going on 53? Isn't it time that they should be planning for their retirement in a nice quiet spot in the country where I never have to hear from them again? at least they are far less of a nuisance since I had their accomplice chopped into bits and sucked out through a straw by a robot, but it also means I don't get the usual source of information about what kind of shenanigans they're up to...)

ovaries should clock out soon, yeah; mine gave up at 52 and it's been blissful ever since (because i still have the pesky accomplice). but i'm so glad you don't need the tv ultrasound! or as a friend calls it, the medical dildo. \o/
