You know you're getting old when

[TC]

You know you are getting old when you are older than all your doctors, some of whom look like kids.

I needed an injection in my knee, but my regular physician was unavailable. Instead, a young female doctor came in to assist me. I asked her if her mother had dropped her off that day. The same situation occurred at my urologist's office. It's not a problem, women generally have smaller hands!

Years ago I had a small bump on my back. I didn't like the feel or the look, so I requested to remove the small cyst.
It was rather quick, cut out, dig out the cyst stuff, and sell back.
After that my back was in pain. When I lie in bed to sleep it hurt. Painful for few weeks.
Afterwards when it "healed", I looked at the scar and it was unsightly.
It looked terrible and hoped it goes back to normal.
Never did. When I go topless, my back looked like I had a large stab wound that never was stitched.
Learned my lesson not to do any more invasive treatments/surgery (not even Botox, Ugh).

You do know that cysts are left to drain and heal naturally?

Fernando is a walking symbol of misinformation and disinformation.

Maybe you should have gone to your doctor rather than having you gardener remove it.

The cut was done in the office with the nurse.
The doctor slit the cyst and took out this yellow gel substance.
Seems like a year later, another cyst popped up near the cut cyst. Ugh.
I left that alone. No more cuts or surgeries for sure.

"After all, what do those doctors really know?"
