–Going to the Doctor– Okay…somebody’s been injured and you have to go to emergency room. What the hell do you say?
Simple: “My girlfriend and I were horsing around, sort of wrestling, and we got into this hold and I felt….etc.” That’s all you need to say and the doctor will accept that explanation without any more questions asked and you need answer no more. You need not answer questions about a possible attack because you are not pressing charges. That’s it.
Don’t know what the doctor will think and who cares? Your health is the priority and the doctor is probably more interested in dealing with the real injury than how it occurred.
Here’s a funny story.
A number of combative women are physicians. That’s really true and I know and wrestled several times with one here in New York. How did we meet?
About a week after a match, I started feeling pain in my shoulder and I went to my own doctor who referred me to a specialist in that type of injury. She was a woman about my own age (mid thirties at the time) and obviously athletic. I noticed that right up. Very nice lady.
Anyway, she asked me if I had done anything out of the ordinary recently and I told her just what I quoted above about “horsing around”. She nodded and smiled immediately. “Muscle hyper-extenstion,” she said. “Happens alot when someone tries to free a reverse headlock.”
I looked at her and she said, “I know from personal experience.”
Then she looked me in the eyes and smirked. “Horsing around, huh?” And we both laughed. After the examination, she said: “Should heal in a couple of weeks. It does for me and we’re about the same size, aren’t we? Give me a call if it doesn’t heal.” I nodded and tooke her card.
“In fact, when it does heal if you’d like,” she said and actually winked. I nodded again.
Well, the upshot. I called her in three weeks when I was feeling fully healed and she greeted me and asked, “All better?”
“Yep,” I said.
“How experienced are you?” she asked and I told her.
“Well then, are you ready for me now?” she asked and she laughed.
I laughed back and said, “Absolutely. Name it.”
And she said in one sentence: “Two or three, straight, from the knees, bathing suits, one observer each…this Saturday afternoon?” LOL. You can never tell with those doctors!
