Planned Parenthood

I try really hard every time to be positive while I’m here. I understand that this is a non profit organization and the services provided really do help me a lot. however, I don’t understand why you need an appointment to be seen if you’re not going to actually be seen for more than an hour and a half AFTER you check in. this happens every single time I’m here, I can always count on it. if I had any other option, I would’ve stopped coming here years ago. but I don’t. so I have to constantly put up with the bullshit that goes on in this office. just be aware that if you go out of your way to wait half an hour on the phone line waiting to make an appointment, you might as well do a walk in because it takes just as long if not more. this system sucks.

I think I almost died…
So if I remember correctly… injection of air into the blood stream is fatal (the extra air can cause a blockage in the system… or something) and what not. I’m not a nurse or a doctor, so don’t take my word seriously, but I remember learning that we should ALWAYS tap the shots to get any air out first, right?
Well, this one chick who gave me my Gardasil shot (I’m thankful for that, of course, cuz it was free) almost injected a huge air bubble into me… I thought she was going to tap it out first, because she was more experienced than i was, but when started to inch in to my arm to inject that shot… I told her to stop and tap it out first. I find this scary to interfere with a more knowledgeable person and correct her for it. That whole airbubble thing may be precaution, but I rather feel safe, than sorry… and I did not feel safe after that incident.
Forget the needle, watch out for the air bubble!
Otherwise, a great visit. only cost me $ 5 for the shot :) whoo! it’s not bad to be poor… not!
