Thanks! 🙂

Anyone know how long these referrals actually last? I’ve got one for a physiatrist follow-up—labeled "A"—from back on September 5th. My appointment isn't until December 1st because, uh, I got some bad info and totally missed my window to book it. Not that it matters, but I'm wondering if this thing is still good or if I have to go through the whole hassle of getting a new one. Thanks! 🙂

My brother totally threw me for a loop. I’m calling him up all happy, like, "Hey, I'm pregnant!" and what does he say?? "Well, didn't you say you were done having kids!?" (Look, this is my second one, but I did say that after the first one seven years ago. After all those crazy complications—the mastitis and all that postpartum misery we go through—I just said it in the heat of the moment while I was totally lost, and apparently, he's been holding onto that grudge in his brain all these years.)🙂

I told him to stop talking nonsense, and then he’s like, "Why are you getting so worked up!?" Ugh, seriously!!🙄🙂

Of course it's worth giving up those $167. But hey, at least Sanjin gets richer by $167. And you just end up poorer... I guess. 😁

I've seen people talking on forums about how some clueless interns just show up during intimate exams to learn... reminded me of being at the dentist recently when suddenly five people appear out of nowhere staring at me like I'm an alien specimen... I wonder why doctors don't even ask the patient, like, "hey, you mind if they watch?" or at least give a heads-up... have you guys dealt with this? A friend told me some interns crashed her OBGYN appointment and she ended up getting into a huge fight and just bolted 👍. Anyone else have stories about this?

Yeah, when I was in labor, three guys and one girl studying medicine were all staring down "there"... And the doctor is just going, "okay, this is this and that..." (not even gonna list everything 😁), while they’re all nodding along looking super serious, and I'm over here practically dying of laughter...🤣
And yeah, the doctor did ask if I cared... personally, even though it wasn't exactly comfortable, I didn't mind... I mean, those kids gotta learn somewhere, I guess...
