  • Although I've never been to a proctologist, I'd think the dentist would be worse, for me, depending, though, if the reason I saw a proctologist were serious or not.

  • I've never been a person who hates going to the dentist. I don't love it, but I don't dread and fear it the way many people do. Proctologist, though, no thanks, don't want anyone poking and prodding my "sun don't shine" zone.

  • A few years ago I developed prostate cancer and was sent to a professor of urology for a biopsy. He was a very down-to-earth guy and when he had finished the preliminary questions he said, "Drop your pants and assume the position." Then he went looking for the prostate.

    After that experience I doubt that a proctologist would hold any fears for me. Dentists, on the other hand...

  • I think that the level of intimacy, embarrassment, and trust needed to negotiate a visit to the dentist, sort of climbs exponentially to me when thinking about a doctor Venturing where no man has gone before. The second one. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at January 13, 2017 11:47 AM MST

    The worst is when the dentist sticks his finger up my behind. Said he's just doing a routine cavity check but I'm starting to have my doubts.......

  • You too, eh?
    It's when the vet gets all gynecological that I get suspicious. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at June 17, 2017 9:29 PM MDT

    THAT'S not the cavity that needs filling.  I don't know what the hell you're going to do if he tells you to spit.

    Six of one, half a dozen of the other. Either way you look at it, you have to open wide.
