Never looked back that was, until...I read in the paper in blazing headlines: Local doctor offed his wife on the steps of the downtown courthouse in front of their eldest daughter.
Yeah, that same miserable, cranky babe was now a teen and witness to dad gunning down mom. That poor child must be really miserable now and in need of a lifetime of psycho therapy.
Not a happy ending, indeed, for the family of Harry Zelig, M.D.
I have no idea what happened to Dr. Frankengali, but I hope he's rotting in the same prison after being convicted of malpractice where Dr. Machiaborgia is residing for the rest of his miserable life.
This wasn't my only bad experience with doctors, it's just the next-to- the-worst of my horror stories. It's no wonder why I avoid doctors like the plague!

*With special thanks to Prof. Pete Bagnolo for his OpEd post, "Ron Paul or Mandatory Drug Inoculations to Control and Eradicate Americans" on 1/2/08, and Chris Bidwell for his comment to Pete's article, both of which brought this spine-tingling experience to mind.
Sandy Sand began her writing career while raising three children and doing public relations work for Women's American ORT (Organization for Rehabilitation through Training). That led to a job as a reporter for the San Fernando Valley Chronicle, a weekly publication in Canoga Park, California. In conjunction with the Chronicle, she broadcast a tri-weekly, 10-minute newscast for KGOE AM. Following the closure of the Chronicle, Sand became the editor of the Tolucan Times and Canyon Crier newspapers in Burbank. She is currently a guest columnist for the Los Angeles Daily News and contributor to ronkayela.com
The doctors in this country ( not all but many) remind me of the medieval doctors from Molliers:
- Why won't we cut off your right hand?
-But it is OK. Why should I do this?
_-Because it will benefit your left hand and it will become stronger.
For decades I fight with dentists the same way you described. They tell me for 20 years that they want all my teeth removed, the teeth of my child removed, deep cleaning, lasers, etc. THEY NEVER DO WHAT YOU ASK! Recently we found out that we saved our kid's life by flatly refusing to remove his wisdom teeth: a thorough analysis of his adult mouth by a very respectful expert revealed that some nerves in his face were going very close to that area and if he was subjected to removal of those teeth he most likely would have some face functions paralysed.
Again, not all the doctors are like that but I agree: Pelvic exam is the sign. Why won't you next time just calmly say, 'I will submit to it if I also do yours first'.
Keep cool!

Maybe next time I'll suggest "doing" him first, but it was a moment of building horror and suspense -- just like in the movies -- and panic snapped into an instinctive fight and/or flight reaction.

...and scary. But you made a lovely article out of the shreds of what sounded like it could have been chiropractic hell! Actually, from the sound of it, gynecological hell...potential gynecological hell, that is. Aren't you glad you could hear the dulcet strains of J.S. Bach's Tocatta and Fugue in D minor coming from the spooky grindhouse in your head!
Lovely stuff...and it appears as if my word bucket is full again.
Blessed be! Pappy

I can't tell you how relieved I am that the word bucket has filled up a bit again. Truth be told, I was getting a bit nervous about it. However, a deep, diving descent into the plok-tau of yet another Gentoo Linux installation seemed to be just what the doctor ordered. Thank the goddess it wasn't a prostate exam, ordered by Dr. Longerfingernails.
And it appears as if the amount of words now hanging out in the word bucket will not only find their way into the book, but a few of them were crying out for me to write another political article here. I may well listen to them. Since it will be a while until I have a functional GUI from my newest addition to the Gentoo family, I think I'll take the time to see where the idea that hit me at the pizza buffet goes.
Nice work, and watch out for those perverted doctors.
Blessed be! Pappy
