I havent had one before and knew I needed one but I thought it might be booked in for a later date. She was telling me about it and I was thinking ok I must book that in and then she said ok hop up on the table! I just thought what? now? I thought ok well she will check the stitches before going ahead and doing anything but nope she just proceeded with the pap smear! Stung like hell, I nearly jumped off the bed! She is my usual doctor and up until this has been really great, she is still a great doc but a little more warning or prep next time would be nice!
