    I went in to the local GP for a check up..

    She told me I needed to stop masturbating..

    I asked her "Why?"

    She got a bit pissed off and said "Because I'm trying to examine you!"

    So unprofessional of her.

    I went for an std investigation on my ding dong, the doc was a muslim dude in some kind of dress, I was a little embarrassed at first when I was divulging the gory details of my recent sexual conquests but it soon became obvious that he was waaayyyy more embarrassed than I was, he was scarlet, underneath the osama beard

    Went to the Doctor with a cough, I was asked to take off my jumper to be examined with the stethoscope. Then my t-shirt and also my bra. I though this was a bit wierd as have been to the doctor before with a cough but it got wierder when the doctor said " ah sure look you have your bra off now I might as well give you an exam on those aswell"

    It lasted waaaaaaaaaay too long

    A doc convinced me that my child had asthma,( which she did not) gave me a prescription for some very strong drugs, she put the wrong dosage on the stuff, my kid would have ended up in big trouble if my wife and the pharmacy didn't cop it...:eek:

    did you know that once your unconscious in a hospital, trainee doctors will perform a pelvic exam on you? :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,211 ✭✭✭Susie_Q


    I went to a doctor once in one of those walk-in surgeries on Dame St (bad idea). Told the doc I felt really ****ty, was sleeping 14 hrs a day and missing lots of work and generally felt crap. Instead of sending me for bloods or giving me a physical, he simply gave me a business card for a psychiatrist and sent me on my way!

    I was so shocked that it didn't occur to me not to pay... still raging that I gave him 50 euro all these years later.

    PS Second opinion (and blood tests) revealed I had glandular fever! Not mental illness!

    Did you tell him you had a sore throat or swollen glands ?

    Probably the same doctor that told me I had Alzheimers. I was relieved. At least I didnt have Alzheimers.

    I went to the doctor once feeling really ill.

    He told me that i had been adopted and that i was actually a Clock!

    I thought he was winding me up!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,305 ✭✭✭Chuchoter


    I was given pills to fix all these nose bleeds I was having when I was 12. He pulled out his book of medicines, put his finger on which ever one he saw first and gave it to me. A week later I went into hospital because I kept fainting.

    Answer from A&E doctor: God we don't usually give those to under 18s!

    My brother threw up on him though next time he saw him:p:cool:

    When I was 5 or 6 my cousin pushed me off a wall. I wasn't able to walk so folks took me to the our local Doc.
    'Ah she's looking for attention', he says, 'nothing wrong with her at all'.. I actually remember thinking, you dozy fucker...
    They took me to hospital the next day - my leg was broken in 2 places..
    He was struck off not long after - chronic alcoholic apparently.

    Same kinda thing happened to me. Was about 10 or 11 and fell and really hurt my arm. Eventually persuaded my parents to bring me to Crumlin Hospital where a doctor told me it was a slight sprain and to basically stop moaning. While i was waiting for him to get the paperwork in order, another doctor was passing by and happened to ask how did i break my arm. Told her what the other doc had said, at which point she went over and tore strips out of him and told him to get my off to x ray. Had broken my arm in two places. It was bad enough my parents hadn't believed me in the 1st place, but i was rightly pissed off when that doctor wouldn't. Thank fcuk for the sensible one.

    He was trying to maintain that I was a healthy hearing boy when clearly I was not responding to his tests, so in fact I'm deaf and he was stating otherwise.

    My comment was somewhat tongue-in-cheek as it was another doctor who finally diagnosed the tumour and a wonderful surgeon who removed it.

    A doctor once prescribed be penicillin when my file clearly stated I was allergic to it.

    I almost died.

    I don't go to hospitals or doctors now unless I am dying.

    A Number of years ago I attended my local doc with a nasty fever, he prescribed me on certain meds, after a few days it got worse and I broke out in nasty sores, I decided to get a second opinion from a specialist consultant at Blackrock Clinic who diagnosed that I was allergic to penicillin.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,565 ✭✭✭southsiderosie


    I've always had very sensitive skin, and went to the campus clinic after getting a horrible rash on my arm.

    The doctor took one look and said "Oh, we usually only see that kind of thing in elderly people and young people with AIDS'. She then sent me off to do a blood test, and gave me a prescription for topical cream, Unfortunately I was too hysterical to notice that the box for the cream had in big letters on the side "DO NOT USE ON BROKEN OR IRRITATED SKIN", so in addition to thinking I would be dead in two years, my arm felt like it was on fire. Luckily my roommate had more sense than I did, and pointed to the obvious spider bite on my arm while binning the cream.

    I never went back to university health services.

    You didnt tell the intial doctor you were allergic to penicillin ? :confused:

    Never had anything but good experiences with doctors.
    Better experiences with nurses though.

    I went with a chest infection he decided to have a look at my balls.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,767 ✭✭✭La_Gordy


    I lived in France and was having some fanny issues. It wasn't the doctor's fault or anything, but I had to get naked from the waist down (which always emphasises just how naked you are) while a doctor that looked like me da and a young lad shoved a camera up ma vadge. I cried and cried and didn't speak French well enough to explain I was just frightened.


  • Registered Users Posts: 457 ✭✭Celtise


    Everytime I go to a doctor it gets worse.

    When I was a kid, broke my arm in two places. Bad enough the parents thought I was overreacting for a whole 24 hours before I went to hospital. Then the first doctor tried to tell me it was not broken and the second put the cast on too tight it had to be redone a few days later when my fingers were feeling funny...

    Then xmas eve on my leaving cert year, serious pains in my side. Went to hospital 4am and took five doctors to get a vein and then 36 hours for them to stop thinking I was "looking for attention" and figure out I needed emergency surgery. An xmas day I will never forget. Or the subsequent check up I had 6 weeks later telling me they didn't find any cancerous cells. Thanks for telling me there was a possibility.

    Lastly, couple years ago went to college doctor cause I'd never felt so weak/sick in my life. Told me I was probably just burnt out from rag week (despite my protests of a relatively quiet week) and had a bit of a throat infection and wrote me a doc note for two days. Glandular fever apparently, out a month of college.
