Why lying to your doctor is never a good idea

Wednesday, February 11, 2009

So the other day I went for my appointment at the dentist up in West Covina for my wisdom teeth extraction consultation as CA is like so lacking in oral surgeons they rotate their surgeons and I had missed his last visit to my city.


Thing was the lousy people at my dental clinic didn't tell me the oral surgeon up at West Covina was gonna do the actual surgery that day and I so ate a pop tart an hour before I left. In case you didn't know, you're not allow to eat or drink for at least 8 hours before any kind of surgery but thinking it was ONLY a pop tart plus the fact that I'M STILL RAVENOUS I kinda said 'no' when asked if I had eaten anything thinking that it's probably digested by then. Plus the fact that I refuse to wait until the next month for a new appointment wth cuz by then spring sem. would have begun and none of my mondays are free ('oh the surgeon only comes in 1 monday a month' *beams* FRIGGIN A. What kind of system is this?!)


And so I enter the surgery room where the nurse asked me once again if I had eaten anything and I was about to say no again but have no idea why it came out as 'yes' and immediately had her glaring at me. So I was like 'oh please, it's just a pop tart and it's probably gone by now. It's not like I'm having a body operation anyway' *glares back* before she stiffly told me 'NO POP TARTS' and how under anesthesia, if one were to throw up midway, would have no choice but to swallow it back down causing it to go into your lungs and clogging your airways. Oh and the chances of dying is 75%.


75% CHANCES OF DYING WHATTHEHECK OMG YOU'RE KIDDING ME!!!!


ADSALSDFKAHSDFA YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW GRATEFUL I AM FOR THAT SLIP OF THE TONGUE! OMG TO THINK I COULD HAVE BEEN DEAD NOW INSTEAD OF SITTING HERE BLOGGING.


And that my dear friends, is a good example of why lying is never good. Especially to your doctors. Unless you want to end up as the latest donation to the medical school body dissection practice lab.


PS: Am still mad at the cursed pop tart for ruining my appointment. 4 hours of waiting wasted.

PPS: I now hate pop tarts!

Update: Except maybe the s'mores flavor kind...mmm =d

Stoopid. Everyone knows not to lie to doctors. I mean, they can just X-ray your stomach and see your pop tart lying there. LoL. Okay. Anyway, good luck with Apple Sauce and Mash potatoes for the next four days after your surgery. Wahahahahahahahahahaahhahaaha! Plus, you'll look like a chipmunk once the surgery is over.

Woohoo hoo~
