This was one of the coldest encounters I have ever had with a dr. Let alone a woman's health dr. I was in for an invasive procedure. No prep, no friendliness, no explanation of the form I signed, NOTHING. Again, cold, distant, a drive by scraping of my uterine wall, and you can go now. It felt ..horrible. The procedure and the atmosphere.
