I went to the emergency room because I was having very bad period cramps. They were so bad I was throwing up. I was in agony and I didn't know what to do. So I took a cab to the ER.
The intake was fine. Not friendly but not rude. She took my temp and blood pressure and put a thing on my finger all at the same time without telling me what she was going to do. That was a bit strange.
I waited a while and eventually saw a doctor. It was a male doctor who said "so it's just period cramps?" I explained that it was abnormal for me to be throwing up due to cramps but he was useless. He wanted to do an internal exam. I said "I am bleeding." He said, that is fine. A young gay male nurse came over and gave me a cup to pee in. I went in the washroom wearing a flimsy gown and pissed into the cup.
There was no one else in the ER at that time, I was the only one in the waiting room when they brought me in. I came out of the washroom and overheard the gay male nurse say to another person working something to the effect of "on period bleeding internal nasty".
I glared at him and he looked shocked and embarrassed.
I should have made this young gay male nurse come assist on my internal exam so that my "nasty" bloody vagina would haunt his dreams.
I left before the internal exam and didn't bother to wait for the pee to come back. (They were doing a pregnancy test.) I yelled as I was leaving. "You've got my number call me if I'm pregnant."
Totally unprofessional.
