I personally love that a gyno I’m visiting for the first time has, contrary to my specific request, taken biopsy samples without warning, more than once (that’s why I have a specific request).

For real, they’re not vets or pediatricians (I’m not a kid person, I don’t know if this is fair for pediatricians), they don’t need to surprise their patients with painful procedures. Just tell me when you’re going to do a thing so I can take a deep breath.
