Medical Continuity

[Seventeenth (imported)]

Let's suppose you went to a cutter and got castrated.

Then what happens to the continuity of medical records? I assume you don't just walk into your family doctor's office and assume it all works fine?

You mean that if you survived it, and then your GP says, "Where's your balls?"

Tell 'em they're gone...

They hurt, or accident on a trip, etc.

My last three doctors have known I was a eunuch. The first asked me about which therapist approved me for surgery and which surgeon performed the operation. After my answer of no therapy and no surgeon we moved on to health related issues. My next two doctors just speak of my orchiectomy and not how it was done. They know but do not want to know too much. After all what is done is done.

I came up with a BS story that I don't know if they all buy it, but I've been consistent with it.

They ask, I tell, then like Tugon says, they move on to the task at hand.

Using the VA as my medical provider when I get a new doctor they already know which saves a lot of time. I signed up for a new program because I live so far away from the VA doctor I will be seeing one local, I meet her for the first time on the 19th, I am sure this will come up. She will get the same answer as all the rest, I was in a lot of pain I went to a doctor and had them removed, no more pain, no I am not on HRT, no I don't want it either, yes I take my calcium and D3, no I have not had a bone scan in a couple years and I am due. yes that about covers it.
