OMG! Oh, I'm sorry. Forgive me for being one with my generation in the way I express my astonishment, but I cannot, for the very life of me, express it in any other way.
OMG! What the?!
This is freaking... accurate! And by accurate I mean really correct and supposedly unsurprising but as it turns out, shocking because stupidity took over the medical system of this country and gave me a very different and dissenting opinion.
HELL!!!
And to think I still have the I-hate-stupid-people post in my draft folder. I knew I should have finished writing it and publish it. Now it would seem anti-climatic to finish it.
Calm down. I already know I don't have the fondest respect for the medical professionals here in my oh-so-beloved country but this is just incredible! And by that last word I mean really, really astonishing in a very, very negative way.
How can I say this without revealing too much? Shoot! This is the problem with the "mystery" story I had unwittingly signed up for. But for the purpose of chronicling my thoughts, here's a uhm... a clue to work as a guide.
In NBC's (and now ABC) sitcom Scubs' 118th episode (or so according to my ever dependable wikipedia), or otherwise known as the first episode of the 6th season, there's a scene wherein JD was talking to his friends Turk, Carla, and Elliot. He was asking them not to laugh before he shared what really happened between him and his now-pregnant girlfriend Dr. Kim Briggs. Needless to say, it's what I always knew for a fact. And by always I mean since learning this lesson the hard way about 6 years ago.
What troubles me is that I was led to believe that it was, as that contemptuous doctor had told me, "virtually impossible." And I therefore harbored some false hope and clung to it until my last dying breath. It was, for a lack of a better word, painful to hope and accept later on.
It bothers me that after learning they were all wrong and seemed unwilling to challenge what their textbooks had told them as opposed to what their patients had been telling them (by the way, aside from the classmate/friend's friend's friend, my friend had also admitted to experiencing the very unconventional way), that medical fallacy is just limited to the so-called pearl of the orient. The Western variety apparently thinks it's possible.
And that is what I'm OMGing about.
