Even Jesus Isn’t Coming Out Of This One
HOSPITAL, IGNORING & INATTENTIVE, NURSES, OREGON, USA | HEALTHY | SEPTEMBER 23, 2018
(I go to the ER one night for suspected appendicitis. The nurse orders a blood draw and urine sample.)
Nurse: “We’ll run your blood to see if anything is unusual, run a pregnancy test on your urine, and then go from there.”
Me: “No need. There’s no chance that I’m pregnant.”
Nurse: “We have to make sure.”
Me: “I’m sure. If you look at my intake, you’ll see that I had a complete hysterectomy six years ago. I also haven’t had sex with a penis in four years. If by some dark magic I’m pregnant, I’ve got bigger things to worry about than my appendix.”
(The nurse didn’t care, and the doctor ordered a pregnancy test, anyway. Lo and behold, it was negative.)
