I'm behind on posting submissions. I really appreciate the emails and stories from medical personnel both in the clinics, wards, and operating rooms. What you all encounter and have to deal with seems beyond fiction at times. 

This is a story submitted from a PCP who enjoyed my book practicing in Northern California. 

A new 22 year old female patient presents to office with complaint of 'burning with urination.' 
Picture
The patient describes urgency and painful burning with urination. She has one sexual partner her boyfriend of 6 months and has not sustained any trauma. The patient does not have flank pain or history of kidney stones. No other obvious causes of her symptoms. 

The physician explains in detail the differential diagnosis and work up. Including labs, urine, imaging, starting antibiotics, etc... After a very thorough discussion the patient says "I agree with your plan except you don't need to check for STDs." The physician must have looked at the patient dumbfounded as the patient said "Don't worry doctor, my boyfriend took a look down there, and he said I'm all clean (followed by a pause) that kittens purring!"
