[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They also need to rule out pregnancy in order to prescribe certain medications and tests.

Also patients lie allllllll the time, OP. [/quote]

It is one of the most sexist, paternalistic comments ever and people who think this crap in medicine need to quit or retire. It is fng insulting to be treated like you don't know if you are pregnant. [/quote]

Oh really. So if every woman knows immediately they are pregnant, than the 6 week abortion ban in Texas is perfectly fine. [/quote]

Plenty of us know with certainty that we are NOT pregnant. The fact that so many women are backing this up is pathetic. “We know better than you do, little lady, even though you haven’t had any sexual contact in a year by choice. We know how you little ladies like to lie. LOL!”[/quote]

It's hard to believe this has to be said, but despite your apparent disbelief, many people *do* lie.  That fact that you aren't lying is immaterial.  Enough people do, and the repercussions of certain tests or treatments are so significant if one is pregnant, that the doctor needs to be absolutely sure before authorizing those treatments.  Because someone who swears she isn't pregnant and is, whether she's lying or just ill-informed, absolutely will sue a provider and medical facility if her baby is harmed and the doctor didn't confirm pregnancy status.

It's so silly being personally offended by this.

And from the tone of your post, I'm doubting that your lack of sexual contact for a year is by choice.  Your choice, anyway.  [/quote]
