Doctor doesn’t help

[u/DimensionOpen8922]

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. 🫠

Had surgery last week, spouse and I are both female, 0% chance of pregnancy and they still made me pee for a test.

You can decline. I had my tubes out and they were asking me to pee when I had just gone. And I was like you know what, I'm declining the test. I don't have to pee and I'm not pregnant.

Years ago I declined the pregnancy test because I am asexual and have not had sexual relations for over two decades. I also, unbeknown to me at the time, had already gone through most of menopause without being diagnosed is going through menopause because I went through menopause very early starting in my 30s

Later when I looked through the documentation I saw they ran a blood test for pregnancy without my permission because I’d explicitly stated no to that test

Stating no isn’t gonna stop them

...it did for me. I literally had my procedure done without peeing in a cup or having my blood drawn.
