[quote=Anonymous]They made my good friend, who had a hysterectomy almost 10 years ago, do a pregnancy test before her recent surgery because she still has her ovaries. Yeah...

Sometimes, following the "script" defies logic. A few cases:

-- Josh Sundquist lost his leg to osteosarcoma when he was a child. As an adult man, his insurance flagged him because his body weight seemed low for his height. When he said, "Don't you think there's a good reason for that?", the medical professionals responded, "What do you kean?"

-- Josh Sundquist lost his leg to osteosarcoma when he was a child. As an adult man, he was being interviewed by his doctor's assistant or nurse (I'm not sure which) regarding recent health changes. When he said that he recently had knee surgery, the medical professional responded, "Which knee?" (He had only had one leg since childhood, and he rarely wears a prosthesis, so it's pretty clear that he only has one leg.

-- I can't remember which former contestant on RuPaul's Drag Race it was, but one of them was talking about their friend who is a transgender woman, who has been grilled at doctors' offices about when her last menstrual cycle was. When she explains that she transgender and doesn't have a uterus, they still don't flag her chart so she won't keep getting asked.
