Medical Haven't Had A Physical Since 2009 And I Need One

[Senecia]

I turn 20 in a couple of months. I don't mind the idea of a physical breast exam. I could care less about them, oddly.... it's just that pap, shudder. I haven't been to the doctor enough times to where I really know them. There's one that I've seen a few times over the years and I usually just 'hope' to get her. I should figure out her name. I like her and we ended up talking about cows and the army the last time I was in. A nice distraction from the awful vibe of the doctor's office and the crispy sound from the paper when on the exam chair.

Or the fact that they store the speculums in ice cold water :p.

I don't particularly like mammograms, but it makes me smile when other women talk about how painful they are because...well...I'm rather large chested, so it's not so bad.

I've actually never had a mammogram. I guess I'll have the same experience with that as you. My mom tells me it's much worse when there's not much to work with. I mean the exam by hand. Hate it. Way too much contact for me.

Don't worry, I've never seen the cold water @Senecia. They're always wrapped in plastic in a drawer under the exam table when I go. I guess they send their stuff off to be cleaned.
