@InvincibleMollySullivan
Few situations are more humbling than a pelvic exam—flat on your back,
feet in the stirrups, paper gown riding up your thighs, the doctor urging
“Scoot down, don’t be shy!” Molly Sullivan usually powered through by
telling herself that at least no one else was there to see it. Today, however,
this experience would be witnessed by her closest friends.
All 2.7 million of them.
The setting: her gynecologist’s office. The cast: a ruddy-faced
cameraman named Pete, a clog-wearing director named Candice, and
Molly’s grandmotherly OB-GYN. The props: latex gloves, packets of lube,
the longest Q-tip Molly had ever seen, and several metal speculums.
Speculums, or specula? she wondered idly. And who had designed them
to look so much like a duckbill?
Focus, she told herself. Soon the entire world would have a front-row
seat to one of the most intimate medical evaluations in a woman’s life. Sure,
Molly had shared plenty of embarrassing moments online, like the time
she’d confused her eyelash serum with eyelash extension glue and spent
two days with one eyelid sealed shut. But nothing like this, and never on
such a grand scale.
Candice glanced at Pete. “Ready?”
“Go live on my count,” he said, nodding. “Three, two, and . . .” One, he
mouthed, pointing at Molly.
“Hello, Invincibles!” she said into the camera a few feet from her face.
“I’m partnering today with TKR Pharmaceuticals, a company at the
forefront of developing immunotherapy for cervical cancer, and the
American Cervical Cancer Coalition. As we know, to catch cervical cancer
at an early stage, it’s imperative to get screening done. So I’m here in my
gynecologist’s office for my Pap smear and exam. Say hi, Dr. Kallepalli!”
Dr. Kallepalli, near the drapes on Molly’s thighs, waved. The usually
calm gynecologist had an expression on her face somewhere between “deer
in the headlights” and “deer hit by a truck and bleeding out on the side of
the road.” Molly made a mental note to send her a massive bunch of flowers
when this was over.
The doctor had readily agreed to participate when Molly asked—
declining all compensation, saying it was part of her mission to educate the
public—but there was no way to prepare her for the experience of being on
a live-streamed video with a following the size of Molly’s. Per the view
counter, twenty thousand people had joined. A strong start and growing
quickly.
“Two weeks ago,” Molly continued, her confidence returning as she
settled into her groove, “I learned that one of my closest friends had been
diagnosed with cervical cancer.” Ayla, a fellow influencer and curator of the
popular platform Single Mom By Choice, was thirty-three, just two years
older than Molly. Ayla had an excellent prognosis with treatment, but Molly
still felt shaken up by the news and compelled to act.
“I realized it’s been three years since my last Pap smear. I’d never
dream of missing a doctor appointment for Clover, but it’s easy to forget to
