^haha.
one time when I was 7 I felt really really uncomfortable when a male doctor had me get completely naked and walk in straight lines and do somewhat weird exercises in front of him. Because I had a stomach ache. Strange shit... I felt weird. Never went back to him, and we heard he retired shortly after, despite being a very young doctor...
When I was 13, and an asian female doctor was checking me for blood in my stools so she shoved a gloved finger in my ass VERY VERY FAR, and I remember involuntarily getting an erection. I apologized.
One time my back doctor got sued for $3,000,000 for killing someone on accident. The next patient he had to see (I had scoliosis)? ME! He did a great job on me, though I still have back pains to this day. When I tried to go in there to get a "mild painkiller", he said I was too young (16) for that and threw me out, saying my back pain would go away. Went back when I was 19, saying my occasional back pains were worse than ever, and he said the same thing, I was too young blah blah. I haven't went back since and I heard he gets sued for a few millions every year.
My counselor/therapist/psychiatrist woman I saw from 12-18 is my favorite person in the world. She retired and I stopped going. She was AMAZING. She told me it's okay to jerk off. She told me it's okay to smoke some pot. She gave me advice -- SHE TOLD ME WHEN I WAS WRONG. She didn't just sit there and go "mmmhmm. Oh. Yeah. Okay. AND WHY DO YOU FEEL THAT WAY?" That woman was INCREDIBLE. I think she was my first crush. I told her EVERYTHING about me and she reacted with actual human emotion, and she didn't just scribble everything I said down. It was very therapeutic, having an impartial party tell me when I was wrong. It got me through my high school years, definitely.
Finally, one time at a Scissor Shock show, a fan gave me a piledriver (wrestling move) while I was still "singing" and the microphone got really shoved in my mouth. Metal mic. Chipped a front tooth off. I didn't notice for a while. And then... well... turns out, yeah, one of my front teeth was snaggled BIG TIME. Had to go to a dentist and get BOTH my front teeth grinded down to be even. But they're still shorter than my other teeth by half an inch or more. Not a big deal but was a pretty weird time. I brought it up to the guy who piledrived me -- not blaming him or anything, I mean it was me with the microphone in my mouth! -- and he just laughed, got all defensive, then laughed again. Shrug. It only cost, you know, $200 or something, without dental insurance. "Only".
Cool thread Gabe.
