Still Panicking: How to Have a Smear Test

Nobody Panic

Show Notes

Still Panicking: Stevie has been smashing it in the latest series of Taskmaster. To celebrate, this week we look back at some practical How-Tos to help guide you through tasks of your own.

Listen. Nobody likes them, but if you’ve got a cervix you gotta do it. You just gotta. Here’s a whistle-stop journey through a smear, colposcopy and biopsy, no holds barred, telling it like it is, and giving you plenty of reason to relax and breathe through it. And if you haven’t got a cervix, listen anyway because it’s nice to know hey?
