Speaker 1 (00:00):
Like writing in our diaries. We call him blogs Kaylin.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Oh, yes, dear blog.

Speaker 3 (00:05):
So we've talked a lot on this show about how
some of us have anxiety going to the doctor's office.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Fred will admit that he sometimes.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
You know, won't tell the full truth because he's ashamed
or embarrassed.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Are you talking about me, Like, I'm not right here?

Speaker 3 (00:21):
Well, I'm just recapping the ones who are scared because
I don't have.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
That anxiety at the doctor.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
I am very much of the anxiety of if I
don't tell them, I'm going to die.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
If I don't get this checked out, I will die.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Well, it's not, but I just want to be clear.
It's not like I'm with holding important symptoms or like
hiding It's like if my stomach hurts is something and
they're like, well, do you have this symptom and that's.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Your bashful and then that's what it is.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
You had too pretty of a doctor one time, and
that also gave you a little.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Bit Yeah, I couldn't possibly tell her what was going
on with my booty if I had anything going on
with my booty at the time, which I didn't, but
I was like, I'm just thinking ahead, what if something
was wrong with I gotta tell this very attractive doctor lady,
who I understand is a professional and doesn't care, but
I care.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Thing ya is.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
I don't like talking about myself, like yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
And that's a common thing.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
I mean, Rufio wouldn't go to the doctor for the
longest time. I mean, it's you know whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
But I don't have that. But the anxiety I do
have is when I speak to the receptionist, okay, because.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
What gives them the right to ask why I am
making an appointment? And how much detail do I give? Okay?
Because sometimes it's just, oh, you know, just my annual,
which is like very easy to say. But sometimes I
don't want to tell a woman who is not my
doctor or a man whoever's answering the phone, what's really going.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
On with me? What's really going on with you? You
know what I'm saying, what's really going on?

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Well, first, I mean mine is a little intense, so
you just don't want to like say that to the receptionist.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
But sometimes it's embarrassing.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
You know, people will have self oozing or you know,
you might need some kind of salve or.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Oa miss salve. You know, I've heard it all though,
you know, I'm saying, like they see the charts.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
And I think they have to know because they have
to know how much time you're gonna need. They have
to know how urgent it is. I think they want
to prep the doctor, like as far as what they
might be up against, like because the nurse will come
in and you have to tell the nurse all the
same stuff you have to tell the doctor. And me.
I don't like that though, cause it's like, why I
gotta tell you twice?

Speaker 2 (02:21):
I know, but there are nurse like they want to,
you know, I just like, I don't know. I just don't.
I feel like it's it's it's not then it.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
I feel you is this And I feel like it's
a new practice because I feel like I only started
getting access question in twenty twenty four from the receptionist.
Like before you could just make an appointment, you know whatever,
come in, But I feel like now they're like, so
what's the.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Issue, right, And I'm like, girl, how much time you die?

Speaker 4 (02:43):
Because let me tell you, you know, Like I feel
like this is a new practice.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
I don't remember this always being the standard.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
I just tell people I have a like a sore
throat cough, allergies, and then once the nurse is out
and the doctor have done no, apparently it's pretty common.
I'm what I'm told is that, like it's not uncommon
for someone to lie to everybody until the doctor comes
in and then be like Okay, here's what's really going on,

(03:11):
or to spring them, to spring it on at the end,
like be like, oh, I got a little sniffle by
the way, my butt hole's falling out or whatever, you
know what I mean, like that kind of thing. And
so you had allergy, so we you know, here's some clariton.
But like, let's talk about Oh, that's an interesting twist.
You know. I think it's pretty common.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
If you're going to the guy no, and it's anything
other than your annual I don't want to tell, like
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
And then you go to the office and she's like, yeah,
let's see.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
I don't think they I don't think they are for
a person to call with, you know, whatever's going on.
So I don't I don't think that. That's what everyone
keeps telling me. It's like, it's to you, it's deeply
personal to you. It's uncomfortable to medical professionals it's just
another day.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
But are is the reception to receptionists. I can say
that a medical professional. They work in a doctor's office.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
I don't think you have to be a nurse necessarily,
but like you have to uphold the hippa and all
the rest of it.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
You have to go to school to be a receptionist
at a doctor's office.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
I don't know what you have to do, but you
don't have to just like here. Some of them have
dual duties just like here. You know, like some of
us do, like eighty five different jobs. I think some
of them may be CNA's or maybe nurses. They just
sit down at that's okay.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
This same rules apply. They still have to because they
work at the doctor's office. They still can't divolte anything.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
But they might not have the same you know, like
my doctor. I'm like, they've seen a million, they've done
a million. I'm not the worst.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
I definitely think they're looking up your Instagram, thanks your name,
looking up your Instagram, laughing at your own lunch break.
I'm telling you, and I found your boyfriend page. They're
telling him what's going on.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
I believe.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
They'll take a can over here. So the girl this
guy she's dating. That's where it happened right there. God.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
But then I'm like, okay, well, just I talked myself,
and then it's like I over shared the last time
I made the appointment, which was the direct opposite of
what I wanted to do.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
I just kept talking and she just kept letting me. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
I figured out that's how you get a quicker appointment
to the worst. Like when she asked me, my grandma, almost,
did I think I am dying? You said, it's not
to January. I'm I feel like I'm gonna die right now.
She's like, we're going in today, so.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
You know, I don't think my buckle can hang out
like this. I feel like I'm going it before then.

Speaker 5 (05:36):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
It's fine, okay.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
I don't think it's uncommon to mask the real cause,
you know, here we go and we're about to get verification. Here, Hi, Victoria,
how you doing?

Speaker 4 (05:50):
I'm done?

Speaker 2 (05:51):
How are you Victorias?

Speaker 1 (05:52):
So yeah, very well, thanks for calling, thanks for listening.
So you're saying it's true, people like me and like Caitlin,
we lie about it, but the real cause of the
issue until we actually get to the doctor.

Speaker 5 (06:03):
Yes, one hundred percent. Like I work in a hospital
and I'll go in and see my patients in the
morning and I'm like, are you in any pain? Are
you nauseous? Like what's going on? They're like, no, we're fine,
We're fine. And then the doctor comes and finds me
and they're like this patient said this, this, this and this,
And then I'm like, no, it looks like I'm not
even doing my job, Like why didn't you just tell

(06:23):
the doctor or tell me so I could tell the
doctor how anytimes? And I'm just like stupid, and I'm like,
why don't you want to tell me what's wrong with you?
But no, it's so true.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
See, like people are texting. I need my schedulers to
get the info so I can prep for patients someone else.
I'm a nurse practitioner in GI and most people are
still uncomfortable talking about their bowel movements. Again, I am,
I don't like talking about that stuff, Like I don't
I'll do it one time and even then, I'm like,
I can't look at any eye. And I understand I'm
the one who has the problem. Everybody else. I get

(06:53):
it all you guys who do this every day. It's like, oh, whatever,
We've seen worse than this, so it's fine, though, this
is whatever's happening to me is the worst thing that
could possibly happen to me that day at that moment.

Speaker 5 (07:06):
It's so true. But sometimes it's just so embarrassing because
sometimes most of the time they come and check in
with the nurse first and be like, hey, what's going
on with this bed? And we tell them, and then
they come out of the room and they're like, they
just told me all this stuff, and I'm just like, and.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Then you have to go back in there after the
doctor's I'll be like, why did you lie?

Speaker 4 (07:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Boy on fire your pants?

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah, that's fun, Victoria, thank you have a good day.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
He does too.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
I know I'm the weirdo. I guess Caitlyn is too.
I mean I don't like, like, I don't mind telling
the whatever, the reception is, all that stuff, But then
when you get to the doctor's office, they give you
that chart and.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
I gotta fill this all out, like I told you everything,
Like why do I got to check all eight hundred
more boxes? You didn't listen to me?

Speaker 1 (07:55):
And I also wonder how like when they ask you
questions about like drinking, like, no one tells the truth
about drinking. No one tells them. Yeah, a couple drinks
a week, a couple drinks a minute per week, you know,
I mean like no, yeah, And I just I wonder,
like they ask all those like how many partners have
you had? New partner? All this, it's like how many
people are you're supposed to tell the truth because they

(08:16):
need that information, like statistically in their mind they can
be like, well, there's a higher likelihood of this or that.
But like most people I think are probably lying, you know,
because they don't want to be judged, or they don't
they feel like they're being judged. And really all the
doctors trying to do is his or her job. But
it's like, em, I don't really feel like him. So
I'm a virgin. What I tell them?

Speaker 2 (08:35):
According to you young, yeah, I'm a virgin.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
But my butt is falling out and someone needs to
fix this immediately. There going next
