What They Never Told Us
continued from page 3
to diagnose and six weeks of my
life, to heal my skin following this
case of scabies, tiny creatures
which set up house beneath the
skin. Strong pesticide is required
to kill them, and the disease isn’t
catted the Seven Year Itch for
nothing, The medical profession
was beginning to have a field day
with me, but the voice on the
phone still had been of no help.
Quite unlike the hunky heroes
of the two-dollar hovels, I then
proceeded to contract two bad
cases of what is politely known, as
intestinal flu, brought about, I am
convinced, by being the.recipient
of sodomial affections. The first of
these attacks, took a complete
physical to, convince me. I wasn’t
dying of some horrible malady.
The price was actually a bargain
considering the attention given to|
my body. Some of the things they
do with proctoscopes and barium
solutions could find use in a heavy
S&M session. It be easy to get off
on them if the medical staff would
be just a little friendly.
There were also the strange
little clawed creatures that hung
on and won’t let go, but in this
case anything that kilts the
scabies also will kill the crabs.
This was genuine VD, but ac
cording’ to the telephone doc, is
nothing to worry about. I have
since read that about two million
bottles of crab medicine were sold
in a recent year. . '
The little old doc must also
have never heard of blisters on
the tongue. It turned out not to be
a product of the com and beans
from the farmer’s market, but
rather Herpes, It was becoming
increasingly difficult to laugh off
this VD thing, particularly upon
discovering that thisone come&in
two varieties, and the other one (I
contracted it later) is so new that
no one. knows much about it,
except thatonce a person has it, it
can recur at any time, and. its
effects are unknown.
Along about this time a new
bath opened, giving us one more
ad imploring eyeiyone; to enjoy
the delights. Bath going was
becoming attractive again: have
sex; with lots -of fstrangers.- Why
worry about cStching cold when
you aren’t even sneezing?
Somewhere along the way I
recall a rumor that the treatment
for clap (gonorrhea) is quick,
simple, and painless- if you can
accept that abstinence for a week
or two can be painless. And we
have all heard how prevalent clap
is. It is? I believe that it exists
only in fairy tales. Gap certainly,
abstinence definitely not, in fairy

uq to noitieoq fq __ atl/ia it a
tHaying survived .aft ,qf. these
terrible maladies, I felt like a
battle-scarred veteran, until 1 was
brought down by the lowly wart.
Your’re right, it’s VD also.
Painless and innocuous for the
most part, when contracted in the
anal region can lead to wart city
unless arrested. Upon describing
the painless symptoms to a
friend, he allowed as how he had
had them and they were caused
by eating too much protein while
on a body, building program.
Upon describing the symptoms to
my doctor, he allowed as how
painting them with a solution
wpuld be the solution. That
solution caused considerable
soreness, but it was short-lived.
Upon returning for a progress
check, I received another
treatment. Another bill. Another
appointment. The next time I was
feeling fine, and so were the
warts, so he used a much stronger
solution. Roughly thirty
milliseconds later, it felt as if he
had used a blow torch, and I was
aflame. Large quantities^ of pain
killer provided relief for a couple
of days, but then it began to
chafe, and the hurt really started
(I thought). All movement hurt
(All movement) as did being still,
and the medication made it feel as
if 1 had. regressed to early
childhood. So I returned in flames
to the doctor. I was suffering, but
not my guests. The doctor refused
to sympathize, and said that the
only resort was to burn them off
electrically. Since, theblowtorch
hadn’t. worked, I agreed. In
taking pains to avoid. pain, I
turned in ipy faded,, torn Levis,
Blue Handkerchief, and key
holder, for , never have I received
what I got from the two needles of
novocain (the needles, not the
contents): not where you get
normal shots, but right there! It
was thieymost, intense,..tush qf,my
life, but also the biggest bummer-
strictly a pain in thq a^-Oddly*,?
the only sensation* - during ' the
actual treatment was the faint
odor of flesh burning. As feeling,
returned, the reality of it all
dawned. All of thq stories about;
tin cans and rusty nails are true.
The agony is indescribable, and
how does one explain to people;
about the continuous grimaces of
pain and the stiffly bow-legged
limping? ^ >
None of the hunky young
heroes ever subjected himself to
such torture, or he would have
sworn off sex forever, ft wa® very
tempting. With such a tantalizing
array' ‘ ormafadie^'a'Stf' infe'dndiis -
to choose from, who needs the big
two,"and why is it we never hear
about these others? Try
imagining such consequences as I
have described the next time
you’re getting it on. The medical
o duemo n’^ndsnYbee ff Id bid' but
I have paid a lot of tuition and am
still ■ not allowed ltd r practice
healing, , and it feels as if a great
host of evil creatures is lurking in
booth 11, room 37, just off the
tree trails, and on that guy
smiling at me across the crowded
room. Wow!
