He instantly flipped and started ranting: ‘I’M THE DOCTOR HERE!
I WENT TO MED SCHOOL!

Needless to say, I went home and googled a new doctor.”

Doctor: ‘Pick three of your favorite foods youd love to eat right now.’
Me: ‘Pizza, steak, wings.’
Doctor: ‘Those sounds amazing.
Too bad you wont be able to eat any of that stuff for at least a week.'”

“I started seeing a new family doctor a few weeks ago.
I had a rough bout of pneumonia.
The doctor started asking questions since I was a new patient.
He asked what kind of birth control I was on.
I told him I wasn’t on any since my husband and I may want another baby.
He goes, ‘You should be on birth control.
No one has babies on purpose.’
So no time for intimacy.
You could just read a book and let your husband go at it for 10 minutes.’
I was all ‘WTF???’
I was there because I had pneumonia!
Why was this even a topic?
I will never go back.”
