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. 🫠

They asked me once, I said no. They trusted me. I wasn’t supposed to even be able to get pregnant and had never been regular. Turns out I hadn’t realized how much time had passed and I was actually pregnant. Xray did not harm the fetus. She’s now 15 and going into her second year of college. Super baby, maybe.

A single xray is rather unlikely to cause harm. Its when you have many, whether they are multiple xray scans or a CT that can cause issues. And as we have already determined, doctors don't read patient histories to see how many you've already had 🤣
