TIFU by going to the dr and completely embarrassing myself

For the last couple of days i (22F) noticed a really bad smell whenever I went to bed. Last night it got so bad it actually woke me up. I sniffed my armpits and the smell was absolutely horrible. It made no sense since i showered the evening before. I got out of bed and sprayed some deodorant on which helped a little bit. This genuinely concerned me so I called the drs office and was able to schedule an appointment for this morning. I took another shower before I went. The dr checked and didn’t smell anything unusual. He told me it might be a reaction to food but wasn’t sure what it could be. He asked me to call in a few days to give an update.

I went home and i changed my sheets. While doing that, I accidentally knocked over an aloe plant that stood on my nightstand. Thats when i noticed. The roots of the plant were rotten to the core. I sniffed the plant and I determined that the smell came from there. I was absolutely mortified! I called the drs office and I had to tell them that the poor man sniffed my armpit for no reason besides my stupidity. The assistant told me the dr was in the office right now so she put me on the phone with him. I explained the situation and he couldn’t control his laughter. I could hear his assistant laughing in the background too. I apologized for wasting his time and for the pitsniff. He said it was alright and that he got a good laugh out of it so that was a little bit of a relief. But still, I don’t think I can ever show my face there again.

Tldr: I went to the dr because i was concerned about a horrible smell coming from my armpits. Dr sniffed armpit. I later discovered that the smell actually came from a rotten plant on my nightstand. When i called the drs office to explain, the dr and his assistant got a good laugh out of my mistake.
