Sat in the doctors waiting room last week. Id had a blood test the week before - for no reason really, just a check up. Next thing I know, the doctor comes running out into the waiting room and says my name " TC, Ive just got your results, Oh, my God, you are very rare, this is very very interesting, come through, come through". So I hurriedly get swept into her room and sit down - almost slump onto her desk thinking I knew it, I bloody knew it - I knew I was special and also thinking - shes so much nicer to me this week now that Im 'special!'.
So I calmly listen - thinking 'remember everything TC - youre gonna talk about the moment 'you found out' for the rest of your life'. The doctor went on to say things like " The technical name for what you have is bla bla bla" (that I cant remember as Im not too clever) "I will give you the correct website to look it up when you get home" (Brilliant I thought, I can go home - no hospital). "Now" she says "Has anything strange happened to you this week since you saw me for the blood test?" Well, i said, I have been bitten really badly by mosquitos. "That could be a link together she said - very excitedly and with that she looks at her computer screen. "TC right?" she says. Yes, I say - quite confidently- like I know, I know, Im brave, I know it.
Then she goes " oh sorry, its not you. Weve had two tall attractive females in this week for blood tests and its the other one, sorry" and with that, she moved on and didnt appologise more than that.
My blood tests were so normal you couldnt get more normal. I should be over the moon really - but is it wrong to feel quite cheated?!
