I went to the doctor today for something else unrelated to my HPV and when the tech was going through my record preparing me for the doctor to come into the room she read the results of my PAP from a month ago. She stated that the results didn’t show HPV and I stopped her and said that cannot be true because a nurse called me 2 weeks ago and said that the results showed HPV.

Long story short, based on what the doctor said, my chart was marked as the results having indicated HPV…but that wasn’t the case. They didn’t find any evidence of HPV. She apologized profusely for the error and I just sat there shocked and relieved for a bit. I explained that that call 2 weeks ago caused undo anxiety and stress in my life and resulted in me needing to have an uncomfortable (and now unnecessary) conversation with my boyfriend about my HPV diagnosis. I legit started crying in the doctor’s office.

I still have a colposcopy scheduled for next week, because apparently the abnormal cells part of the diagnosis was accurate, but at least I now have one less thing to worry about.

I’m in the waiting room at a medical imaging location and there’s a seemingly miserable lady nitpicking at the wording on the intake forms. She kept constantly going up to the front desk to ask questions.

She also asked me and my companion why they need medical history. Then, she proceeded to rant about how she’s a 70yr old woman, do they really need her medical history up to her birth? When we told her it should be recent medical history she said that it should be worded that way on the form and said she’s from New York and doesn’t put up with things like this.
