How to touch a girl

This is a speculum.

(From Wikipedia: Vaginal specula were used by the Romans, and speculum artifacts have been found in Pompeii. A vaginal speculum, developed by J. Marion Sims, consists of a hollow cylinder with a rounded end that is divided into two hinged parts, somewhat like the beak of a duck. The speculum is inserted into the vagina to dilate it for examination of the vagina and cervix.)



This is a confused med student.


(and that confused med student would be me, if you changed the left bubble to: "to inspect the cervix and obtain samples for a pap smear, one inserts a speculum into the vagina, click open the speculum down three slots, and then obtain cell samples from the OS by using a cottom swab to sweep the area now visible," and the right bubble to "Holy %($)%$ of $*#$, I'm gonna do %$%#%$ what?!")


Michelle - speculum. Speculum - Michelle.


Speculum, meet vagina.
[Cue Michelle's anxiety levels to sky-rocket.]




Hi Mom. Do you need a pap smear too?
