Privacy, Wha?

I was visiting with my friend Monya the other day. She had to cut our visit short because she had to go do a "Woman's Doctor Visit" and get a mammogram. She told me that it turned out to be this cool thing. A van that visited parts of the city and allowed woman to get their mammograms easily.

"That's so great. It is private, of course?" I asked.

"I am not sure," she replied, "I would hate to go up there, and walk into this highly marked van right outside of my regular grocery store."

"Why would they have big emblems on the side of the van? I am sure they want people to feel comfortable."

Two minutes after I left I drove past the van in question and decided to call her. "You might want to call your Doctor and see if you can reschedule without any penalty."

I mean, WTF? Why not put a huge sign on the side that says, "WE SQUASH WOMENS' BREASTS HERE"?

I should probably go and get a mammogram since I just turned 35 (Jesus I am old) but I would never willingly step into a vehicle that advertised the treatment. Hell, why not have a vaginal inspection van?

I forgot to ask Monya if she did go on her "visit" and of course, how it was.
