So, yes, I finally performed my first independent Pap smear today!!! I'm sure all of you females are thinking, "Poor woman." Yeah, I feel sorry for her, too, but hey, I played a huge role in the detection of cervical cancer, one of the biggest killers of women in this part of the country.
But let's back up. So, Sara & I showed up at the clinic this morning, and it was SOOOOO slow. The nurses knew that we had come to this clinic in order to get experience doing Pap smears and since no one had an appointment, they went to the town center on our behalf. They had the person who runs the speaker system for the whole town announce that women could come & get their Pap smears today because there was no waiting line.
Come on...where else in the world would you just announce over the loud-speaker that the clinic is open for Pap smears??? So, we almost instantly had two women show up, and Sara took one while I took the other. It was super-sweet of the nurses to do that for us, lol.
