We Hope This Story Goes Viral!
I’m seeing a gynaecologist at a private clinic because the general polyclinics in Singapore don’t have the specific type of birth control I want. The doctor is a woman and seems okay on the first visit.
Doctor: “And what do you do for a living?”
Me: “I’m a virologist; I work for a vaccine development company.”
On the second visit, she tries to hard-sell me the HPV vaccine. In many countries, it’s given to teenagers for free, but it’s very expensive to buy out of pocket privately.
Me: “I don’t think I need it because I’m married and my husband didn’t have any sex partners before.”
Doctor: “No, but once you become sexually active, the HPV can fly through the air and infect you at any time.”
This is complete nonsense; HPV is not airborne.
Me: “Remember last time when I said I’m a virologist working in vaccine research and development?”
