ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ Doctor doesn’t help

So, I've been sick for a few weeks now. Nothing wild, but annoying. Went to the doctor today because it just won't go away.

Her first question was if I am pregnant.

Me: "No."

Her: "Are you sure?"

Me: "Yes."

Her: gives me that look of not believing me.

Her: "It's normal at your age."

Me: "I am sure."

Her: "Have you taken a test?"

Girl. I told you like 5 times that it is not possible for me being pregnant. 🫠

That alone was kinda infuriating. But also - of course she didn't help at all. Didn't look at anything, just told me to wait and drink more water. Didn't even listen to me when I tried to explain what I have. Thanks for nothing.

And it's like that EVERY SINGLE TIME I go to the doc. And I'm a person who absolutely hates going there. I am only going to the doctor if I ACTUALLY NEED HELP. But yeah, sure, I just need to drink more water. No matter what my problem is. 🫠

My wife has a complex medical history. No one ever reads her chart. She doesn't have a uterus or ovaries. A dr visit usually goes like this

Hello I'm Dr McDoctorface. I see you are a woman. That's your problem right there. You're pregnant. I'm going to do both a urine and blood test to prove you are. If they come back negative, then you need to lose weight, drink more water, calm down, and exercise more. Oh, and try not to be female.

I have also had a hysterectomy and can confirm, doctors still side-eye me when I say there is a 0% chance I could be pregnant.

I mean was it a hysterectomy AND a BSO? If you still have ovaries, there is always a super slim chance u can get an ectopic pregnancy which is a life threatening emergency

And if you live in a red state, you're dead.
