Dr Emerson (appointment 1)

Well some of you might have seen my crazy status’ from this morning, but if not, the appointment went well.

I got there at 6:45am, originally confused as to where the actual office was, but once I realised it couldn’t be anywhere else, I walked inside, and then saw his name on a board.  No-one was there yet – it was all locked up.  Luckily the bathroom was open so I went in there, but then realised I couldn’t take a piss in case he needed it LOL.  This is how my mind works.
About 10 to, a guy walks up the stairs, who looked like him.  he bends down to unlock the door and says a polite "Good morning" to me.  A while later another guy walks up, opens the door and goes inside.
At around 5 to 7, I decided to go inside.  I sit down at the chairs outside.  No-one to be seen. No-one manning reception.  The only thing I could hear was the noise of a computer error noise coming from one of the offices.
The second guy who walked in eventually comes out and asks, ‘You’re here to see greg?’  I say I am, and he motions, ‘just through there’.
"Ah," I think, as I realise there is a second waiting room.  I take a seat, again.
A while later, he comes out of his office and motions me in.

I still am not sure why I’m there, as he makes small talk with me, asking a bit about my history and whatnot.
"Girlfriend?" he asks.
"No, I’m gay," I reply.
"Wow really?" he says, surprised, "Never would’ve picked it."
*swoon* LOL.  Yeah bitches come at me haha.
Ah well he can complement me all he likes after I saw the prices he charges outside lol.
He then rambles on about how his brother is gay and in the Army deployed overseas but they still have the ‘Don’t ask don’t tell’ policy going on and that his brother looks like Rambo. 

Eventually it comes to why I’m there and I tell him I’ve heard good things and that I think my libido is low.  I then tell him about my operation I had when I was 10, that I think may have to do with it.
He tells me about a lot of his patients who come to him for testosterone therapy and proceded to tell me he doesn’t think it’s a good idea for a guy at only 28 years of age.  Reason being, once you start it, you pretty much have to be on it for the rest of your life.  He then told me all the side effects and that if i was 75 and had nothing to lose, then I’d could consider it probably a bit more.
He then asked me if I knew about the dangers of Mercury.  I didn’t know where he was going with this, so I replied, ‘yeah, it’s a poison’
He then asked if I had any silver fillings. 
I said, "Yeah, since i was a kid".  He then checks inside my mouth with a thingy-ma-jig and counts six of them, and tells me that’s really bad!
Well they weren’t considered bad when I got em!
Apparently they can leak mercury around the sides of the mouth.
He then asks if I’ve ever had a root-canal.
What’s with all these dental questions?
I say, "Yes, I can remember having one once".
He then shows me a video on Youtube about Mercury.
I can honestly say I’ve never had a doctor refer to Youtube before lol!
I watched the bits he wanted me too and he told me all about it and how dangerous it is.

After that, he eventually rattled off a heap of questions for me, mainly if I was allergic to anything, of which I said I wasn’t.

Whilst he was typing away, i asked him, "Why don’t they tell me these things at the dentist?"
He goes, ‘Cos the world is a cruel place sometimes.  They still give kids Mercury even today and I will never understand it."
He then told me about a case in the USA where someone was going to expose the President and the day before he was going to do it, that guy got killed.  The coroner was suspicious and wanted to find out the real cause of death, and the coroner was killed also.  Interesting!
So yeah, i can’t believe how focused on the teeth he was.

He wrote me out a prescrition to the pathology lab, as well as a referral to the X-Ray joint, whom will x-ray my mouth to check for any mercury leakings.  Yikes!

The x-ray places aren’t in the city, but I did get the blood tests done.

The nurse goes to me, "My GOD, you’re being checked for everything except UTI!"
I laughed.
She was such a great nurse, very talkative, asked me about the doctor, how much he charged etc and how the more blood you give, the more the doc seems to charge lol.
She took out about eight or nine little test tubes.  I couldn’t believe there were so many!
Stupid me thought I needed to be injected eight times or more LOL.  But it was only the once and she filled them up from there.
She goes to me, "No!  I’d quit if I had to do that!"

The nurse suggested that I eat something after the test as she had taken a lot of blood from me.  I’m planning on going to sleep, so I’m quite glad that I ate first.
I might get the x-ray tomorrow if I can, since I have to catch a bus to get there and it’s ages away.

I booked in for two weeks time to get my results, and then see what the doc can do for me from there 🙂  Yay!
