I should have been a doctor

'cus I couldn't be much worse than the ones they've already got.

So I get my hospital appointment through to see a consultant about my suspected hernia and waddaya know it was a complete waste of time.

I arrive half an hour early and they are an hour late seeing me. Then the conversation goes like this....

Geezer....So you've got a hernia?

Me....Well I was hoping that YOU would be able to tell ME

Geezer....Lets take a look then, hmmm, hmmm, please cough, please cough again, yes you have a hernia, please lie down on the couch

Me....:unsure:

Geezer....hmmmm, please cough, please cough again, and again. You actually have 2 hernias

Me....bugger. How will this affect the birth?

Geezer....It shouldn't do

Me....Well both my midwife and doctor think it will, that is why I am here

Geezer....Well it might do

Me....:huh:

Geezer....I'll just go and check

Me....:huh:

10 minutes later when he returns Yeah it should be ok

Me....well what sort of hernia is it inguinal or femoral?

Geezer....erm, just let me check

Me:huh:

Geezer....femoral

Me....Doesn't that mean that there is a risk of developing a strangulated bowel during labour?

Geezer....er, yeah

Me....and don't you think that might affect the birth?

Geezer....er, yeah
