So, I got MRSA pneumonia and strep throat simultaneously about a decade ago and could very well have died, and part of the reason it got as bad as it did was because I didn't want to go to the doctor. (Hold on, this is actually a story about men.)

So a reason I put off going to the doctor was because I actually pretty much KNEW I had strep (I've gotten it a lot over the course of my life) and was dreading... the throat swab.

I have a super-active gag reflex. I mean, forget the swab, the TONGUE DEPRESSOR when they're just LOOKING makes me gag. I fucking dread the whole thing. I generally ask the doctor not to use the tongue depressor--like, I promise, I can flatten my tongue so you can see.

So I hate the whole thing and put off going to the doctor way longer than I should have because I was young and stupid. K. But anyway, a lot of people who move out to Seattle get super-sick their first winter here. Not sure why. It's relatively common to trade horror stories.

So, here is an experience I have had precisely 100 MILLION TIMES in those first-winter illness horror story swappings. Bear in mind that this has happened at social gatherings with men I have just met, at the fucking OFFICE, with children present, etc.

Me: so I had been putting off going to the doctor... Someone: oh no, why? Me: I hate the whole tongue-depressor/throat swab thing because I have a really strong gag reflex. A man: lol just what every man wants to hear from a woman

I gag when I brush my teeth. If anyone is in audible vicinity of me when I do this, they hear it. I would rather skip a brushing than have to explain this and hear this conversation, which I have had with numerous men who thought they were very funny, one more time.
