My Mom was telling me for a long time that I should go to a doctor to do a check-up.
She considered that that is something that everybody should do, particularly a young woman like me.
I knew it was a good advice and there was a long time since my last visit to a Family Doctor.
We tried to determine when was the last time I visited our Family Doctor... Last time I had 11 years old due to flu.
So that was it.
I had to schedule an appointment with our Family Doctor.
My mom asked me if I wanted her to go with me.
Of course I told her to come with me...
I am not used to go to doctors because there is always some fear that they find something wrong with us.
So, there we went.
My mom scheduled the appointment.
I was a little bit nervous.
We went to the office and waited a few minutes.
The waiting room had 3 people waiting.
At 17:00 p.m. we were called to the consultation room.
My mom told me that this was our family doctor for a long time.
He still remembered me, but has a child.
Now I had 18 years old and he said that now I was young woman.
He was a 60 year old man, regular face and a little bit fat.
Not an unpleasant man.
My mom went with me and the doctor asked me why I was there.
I told him that my mother thought it was a good idea to do a check-up at 18 in order to see if everything was ok.
He agreed with my mom opinion and started to ask me those regular questions that doctors do to people.
Apparently I had no relevant symptoms and he told us that probably he would request some routine exams, but first he told me that he wanted to exam me.
He asked me to go to the observation room, which was a little division separated from the consultation room by a wall.
He told me that I had a gown there that I should dress and tell when I was ready.
I went there.
