The sign said "Oral surgery Plus"....Plus What?

[JBmanly50]

I was driving home from work the other day and I saw this sign that said "Oral Surgery Plus" WTF is 'Plus'?

Thought I'd make a little game out of it.

What does the 'PLUS' mean?​

have fun!!

 

[JBmanly50]

to get this started I thought of something mild like

.....Plus a foot rub

i don't know, but .. maybe, the plus stands for, "a rectal exam"?

 

[graceanne]

i don't know, but .. maybe, the plus stands for, "a rectal exam"?

*shudder* Remind me not to go there.

That would be interesting. Could they do it at the same time.

Another idea:

Oral surgery plus a blow job

Graceanne, what could they offer that would intice you to go there?

If it has anything to do with my teeth . . . . nothing. I only go see a dentist when my mouth hurts so bad that it overcomes my fear of the dentist. *shudder*

Beyond that, I get rectal exams yearly, to check for fistulas and cancer. They are not as much fun as you all might be imagining.

i don't know. i try my best not to go there.

i just figured it was fitting of the theme, as far as typical medical procedures and the thread are concerned.

I had a sigmoidoscopy once. I would prefer not to repeat that experience. However, if they were to give me some Versed it wouldn't be so bad because I wouldn't remember any of it.

 

[INSIDEYOURMIND]

A dentist and a proctologist are simlar, they just have a different view.

Ug. Had that. They normally just put me out for colonoscopy's. I wish they would for barium enema's and small bowel follow throughs. *gag* Anything that includes barium should require lotsa meds.

i know about the rectal exams. They suck. But actually, barium meals (the other end) aren't so bad. It wasn't fun, but i'd do it again without hesitation if necessary. But then maybe i'm remembering it fondly because it finally answered the questions.

What was really annoying was that after swallowing the bromo seltzer and some barium, and rolling around, they wanted me to swallow more barium, and when they noticed i had to swallow three times for evey mouthful, he said, "Oh you can stop then, we don't want to make this difficult for you."

TOO FUCKING LATE!

i'm lucky, now i only have to have endoscopies every once in a while. And you do get a shot of general, so you never know what you'll remember. Last time i even got to wear my own clothes .

 

[graceanne]

Barium, in any end, makes me ill. It goes through me like a freight train leaving sores wherever it touches.

Plus they tend to forget I'm not as big as other people, and try to get me to drink as much as the average person - then I puke.

plus a lollipop

I thought BARIUM was something they did if the proceedure failed.

plus a lollipop

Yes, we're running a special just for October. Come and get your mouth worked on and we'll give you a lollipop. Trick or Treat......in this case maybe both.

Plus, in their sneaky little way, it helps with job security.

I remember that as a kid, going in to the dentist and after the check-up the receptionist would give me one.

i had to endure one of those. Wasn't offered anything for the discomfort. No barium was needed, but the evening before: i had to drink this nasty stuff that induces diarea ..... i think they gave me too much. Many times when any med is prescribed with a general 'adult dosage' ... i fair much better when taking only HALF.

.. it was horrible.

Ah go-lightly. Barium is only used for things that will be using an xray machine. It coats your insdes, and therefor shows up on the xray. It will show things like perforations, or ubstructions.

Go-lightly is used to clean out your bowels. During a colonoscopy they insert a camera up inside you, so they don't need to use an xray machine. It will show any polyps or ulcers. Things you won't see with barium (unless they're really bad - my ulcers show up on barium enemas.)

What the doctor won't tell you (and a nurse will) is that you only have to take the go-lightly until you're pooping clear. Once everything coming out is clear yellow you can stop taking it.

The last time I was sick I had an ubstruction so none of the go lightly was going through. They had to put a tube down my throat to get it in me, and I ended up getting two bottles of that crap before they gave up.

Stupid fucking doctors.

The doctor enters your room with a silver tray and a smirk on his face. "Miss Sinnocent, vee half a leetle beet of medication vee vant you to take."

You look at him in horror and ask, "Will it hurt?"

He reponds with a little laugh, "I don't think so, but time vill tell."

One year i gave out toothbrushes on halloween to all of the Trick-or-Treaters who knocked at my door. They were cheap, from the dollar store .... but with very cool designs for the handles ... like, teddy bears and clowns and stuff. The little kids actually like them. Some of the older kids who were in their teens didn't like them and said so. my reply to them was along the lines of them being to old to still be trick-or-treating anyway and that their costume was lame etc ect. Was surprised not to get my windows soaped or house toilet papered etc ect .... that year.

Wait behind a bush with a hose. If a kid trys to tp your house or whatever SPRAY THEM. They own't do it again.

Especially since they're gonna have to tell their parents how they got wet.

And my reply would be (in my tiniest little girl voice) ... i'm not gonna take shit ... unless YOU try it first (stamping my shoe, hard, ... on his toes).

Ooooooooooh ... good one. i like your way of thinking graceanne.

Yes, that's what it was called!! Thanks.
And they insert a HUGE amount of air TOO .. least they did when i had mine done.
i thought for certain that i was going to pop like a big balloon. Well, i did do something .... but it wasn't 'pop'. They used too much air too, i think.

i agree, they ARE idiots sometimes, graceanne. i hate Dr's. i avoid them if i CAN.
