Mary's First Pelvic Exam

An example of positive provider/patient interaction

Provider: OK Mary, now I am going to put in the speculum. I have warmed it up. Can you feel how warm it is?
Mary: Yes, I can feel it.
Provider: Now I am separating the outer lips of your vagina and beginning to put it in. Can you feel it? How are you feeling now?
Mary: OK, I'm OK. (A little nervously)
Provider: I am going really slowly. Remember to breathe deeply. Are you still in your rose garden (or other "safe place)? What color are the roses? My favorite is yellow. How are you?
Mary: It's OK.
Provider: Tell me when you are ready to have me put it in further.
Mary: It's up to you.
Provider: Now I am putting it in further. How is this?
Mary: No. No.
Provider: OK. Now I have stopped. Breathe deeply, Mary. Smell the roses. Should we pick one? Are you still holding that finger? We just have a little further to go. Tell me when you are ready.

The Sounds Of The Universe In My Window (HHHHHHH)

LUCIEN MIDNIGHT


And what is God?
The unspeakable, the untellable,
--
Rejoice in the Lamb, sang
Christopher Smart, who
drives me crazy, because
he's so smart and I'm
so smart, and both of us
are crazy.

No, -- what is God?
The impossible, the impecaachable
Unimpeachable Prezi-dent
Of the Pepsodent Universe
But with no body & no brain
no business and no tie
no candel and no high
no wise and no smart guy
no nothing, no no-nothing
no anything, no-word, yes-word
everything, anything, God,
the guy that ain't a guy,
the thing that can't be
and can
and is
and isnt
.
.
.
.
.
.
I've had enough of follin me
And masking silly imagery
Harrump me kaff
I think I'll take off
For cat and fish

(Jack Kerouac - 1975)
