Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Just over a week ago, I went for a physical. I am 63. The nurse asked me to remove everything below the waist. I was surprised because I did not expect a pap test. The doctor came in and rammed the speculum into me with enough force that had I not had my tonsils removed as a child, I may have expected to see them at the end of the speculum when he removed it. I think he had no respect for women and no skill performing a test which should not have been as painful as it was. knit
