Dr. Shane Cole was not a nice person. She was highly acclaimed and well known in her field, extremely professional and skilled, and constantly in demand. Besides her own clinic appointment schedule always being filled which required patients weeks, sometimes months, of waiting to see her, she was also called on to consult on many emergency cases as well. Hence, being under almost constant pressure and stress, Dr. Shane Cole, was not a nice person.

Amanda Benson was 21 years old and very spoiled. Her father was a well known administrator who was highly respected. That was why Amanda's mother was able to get an appointment for her daughter, who once a month, went to bed for three days in extreme pain and discomfort, with the esteemed Dr. Cole. Amanda was furious. In an extreme rant the day before, she goaded her friend, Cara, into accompanying her to the dreaded appointment. Both girls were 5'4" tall, 120 pounds or there abouts, dark brown hair and brown eyes. As they arrived at the clinic, both girls stepped to the window and gave the receptionist the name Amanda Benson for a 2:30 appointment check-in. Then, they picked two seats further away from the desk. "Listen." Amanda said. "I'm gonna take off. You need to go to this appointment for me." "What? Are you crazy? I can't do that!" "Please. My mom went to all kinds of trouble to get me this appointment. She'll kill me if I skip it. You've been saying your family can't afford a doctor for you and you want to get on the pill. Here's your chance!" "No! The doctor will know!" "How? We've never met." Just then, the door to the exam rooms opened. "Amanda", the nurse said. "I'll talk to ya later", Amanda said to Cara as she quickly headed for the exit door. "Wait!" "Amanda. Please come with me." Oh my god, thought Cara as she stood up slowly. "This way, Amanda." Cara walked behind the nurse as they went through the big door to the exam rooms. The first room had a desk and an electronic scale in it. She was instructed to get on the scale, then stand under the height measure. Lastly, the nurse placed the electronic thermometer behind her ear and then ran it across her forehead. "97.7. A little under. Are you feeling okay, Amanda?" "Oh, uh, yeah. I mean yes, thank you." "Nervous, huh? Don't worry. Dr. Cole has a rep for being hard, but she is a very good doctor." "I'm sure", Cara answered. After the nurse did the usual pre-exam evaluation, blood pressure, pulse, oxygen level, history and medications, she left the room, but not before instructing Cara to undress completely and use the paper top and sheet to cover up and take a seat on the end of the exam table. Oh shit, Cara thought.

A loud, quick knock on the door, startled Cara. "Hello, Amanda. I'm Dr. Cole." A slim, very fit looking woman with shorter light gray hair and stearn blue eyes had entered the room. "Hi." "Well, I've looked over all of your initial information, so let's get started on your exam." "Okay." "Tell me about this terrific pain you are in each month", Dr. Cole said as she started to look in Cara's ears. Then "Look right at my nose. Now look up. Down. Good. Head back. Open your mouth. Ahhhh. Good. So?" "Oh, um, well, it's not as bad as my mom makes it out to be." Dr. Cole stopped palpating the glands in Cara's neck. A cold stare had crossed her face and she was staring right in Cara's eyes. "I mean, she worries a lot ya know?". "She's your mother." "Yeah, I guess." The doctor was now feeling around Cara's clavicle and shoulders. She slipped her stethoscope into her ears and reached inside the paper top to listen to Cara's heart. Then instructed her to take deep breaths as she moved down to her ribs, sides and around to her back. Removing the steth, she palpated Cara's kidneys. "Tell me about the pain, please." Without warning, she reached her hand inside Cara's gown again and began to roughly feel Cara's breast, circling it with her fingers and squeezing her nipple. Then switching to the other breast and repeating her exam. "Well, it can get pretty severe right at the beginning." "Severe how?" "Well, you know. My pelvis really hurts and my back." "Lay back, please." As Cara laid down on the table, Dr. Cole had already begun to palpate her abdomen, pushing down and moving her fingers to feel the internal organs. She then moved to her pelvic area. Palpating deeply. "Owww." "Is that all?" "Huh?" "Is that all about your pain during your period?" "Owww. Hey!" The doctor had the stethoscope in her ears again and was listening intently to Cara's belly. "Hmmm." Again she removed the steth and felt Cara's pelvis, more gingerly this time however. "It's tender right here?" as she looked at Cara. Cara winced slightly. "Yeah, a little." When she finished, she stepped to the end of the table and pulled the stirrups out, lifting each of Cara's legs up and placing her foot in the stirrup. Pushing the end of the table in, Dr. Cole said, "Slide towards me, please." Cara was now feeling very uneasy. Not only was she about to have a pap test by Captain Hook, she had a feeling Dr. Cole knew more than she was saying. A bright light clicked on. A rustling of paper. "Drop your knees out to the sides, please." Gloves snapping as they were slipped on. "You'll feel my hand touch your leg." Yep, sure enough thought Cara. "First, I am going to examine you externally." Cara felt her fingers, pinching, probing, spreading. Touching her clitoral hood. Damn, now that feels good, Cara thought. Suddenly, she stopped. Oh oh. "Your mother didn't say you still have an intact hymen." "Oh, she doesn't really know." "Hmmm. I suppose. No matter, I have a small speculum." Oh my god, Cara thought again. That still feels like she shoved a big log in there! Mercifully, again this doctor was very fast. Dr. Cole was on her feet, replacing her right glove and then Cara felt a finger go in her ass and one carefully in her vagina while the doc pushed on her abdomen. "Ouch!" There was that tender spot again. And . . . It was over! "You can sit up. After you dress, we will talk in my office." "Thank you, Doctor."

But Cara knew it was far from over somehow. "Your mother had the hospital send me your CT scan." My what? Oh shit. That's what she knows. "Oh." "You have quite a lot of endometrial tissue around your uterus. We should set up laparoscopy surgery soon to remove it."

Cara left the clinic in shock, trying desperately to reach Amanda on her phone. "Amanda! You're in serious trouble!" Amanda laughed loudly on the other end of the phone. "Why, Care Bear? Didn't you like the pelvic exam you got? Did you ask her for the pill?" Cara was very angry by now. "Listen, you bitch! You're sick! You didn't tell me that you had a CT scan. The hospital sent it to the doctor." "Oh shit! Why the f..k did they do that?" "Because your mom told 'em to." shouted Cara. "You need surgery you jackass!" There was silence between the two friends for several minutes. "'Manda?" "Yeah." "This is serious. Dr. Cole is going to call your mom." "F..k! Now what do I do?" "You have surgery, dummy! And you better go talk to your mom as soon as you get home." "Yeah. Thanks, Cara. Bye."

The day of Amanda's surgery arrived. Cara met her and her mom at the hospital very early. They were all shown into a pre-op room where Amanda changed into a gown and was prepped for her operation. While there, Amanda's mom got a call from her husband and went out to the waiting area to talk to him. Finally alone for a few minutes, Amanda said, "Hey, Care Bear." Oh shit, thought Cara. She only calls me that when she has something she wants. "What?" "Well, here's the deal. I never told my mom you went to my appointment for me. You and I are the only ones who know." A shocked Cara just stood there for a moment with her mouth open! "And the doctor will know! The surgeon! The one who is about to poke you full of holes! She's going to know!" "Shhh. Maybe not. We look a lot alike. It's my xray she's going off so what does it matter?!" "Oh my god. I'm getting out of here before you die and I get arrested for fraud!" Cara had turned toward the door and was looking back over her shoulder at Amanda as she headed out of the room. And right into Dr. Cole. "Hello, Amanda. Going somewhere?" "Oh. Hello Dr. Cole." Cara forced a guilty smile across her face, and said "Uh, no. This is my friend, Amanda." as she pointed towards the person in the bed who was trying very hard to act as if she was asleep. "Amanda!" "Yeah! I mean yeah?" "This is your doctor, Dr. Cole." "Hi. Nice to meet you." "Nice to finally meet you too."
