Update!

I finally got the nurse on the phone, and everything is ok.  There were some atypical cells, but for me that's pretty normal.  They want to check me out again in 3 months, so I get to do it all again in February

You fancied her old nurse?

Such is the life cycle of the doctor's office. I recently had a similar problem with my dentist. For several years, she had an assistant, who I really liked. She was fun and always joking, and just made teeth cleaning a pleasant experience. Then, one time, she was a gone, and a new, rather sour assistant was in her place. That woman was HORRID. Luckily, she's gone now.

It definitely helps to tell your doctor if you're displeased with a member of their staff. Obviously, they're not going to just fire the person on the spot, but if they have several complaints, it's more likely to happen eventually!

it's no joking matter

I raised holy hell with our pediatrician over how SWMBO was dealt with by a nurse at the office who was less than correct in her communication style. "The doctor hasn't told me what to tell you yet" is Never Good To Say.

I would make a point of discussing what happened with your doc.
