Doctors visits as an AFAB person that have absolutely nothing to do with potential pregnancy and do not at all match symptoms of pregnancy be like:
Doc: "When was your last period?"
Me: "I'm currently on my period, it started (date)."
Doc: "And are you on any birth control?"
Me: "Yeah I have the nexplanon arm implant."
Doc: "And are you currently sexually active?"
Me: "Nope, haven't been for years."
~ Fifteen minutes later ~
Doc: "Well your pregnancy test (that we didn't tell you we were doing or ask your consent for) came back negative so it's not that."
No. Fucking. Duh.
#doctors who do this are pieces of shit just btw#if you dont believe me about my own fucking reproductive health why should i trust you to believe me about ANYTHING?#ndr#not dog related#there is literally no excuse for not asking for consent before doing that and not allowing me to say no you cant do that#its basically fucking ledger fudging through conpletely unnecessary insurance charges#denial of informed consent in medical care too#and yet it happens. every. fucking. time.#oh you're here because youve had heart palpitations and fainting spells since you were a child and you finally want them checked out?#oh you've had all over severe chronic pain and digestive issues since you were a teenager a decade ago?#MUST BE PREGNANT.#dont even need to do a pregnancy test as a precaution for ANY of the procedures or tests they did on me#its basically just saying “hi we dont believe you about your own medical history or value your consent at all”#i have such a big issue with consent in medical settings since being forcibly medically sedated without my consent or any warning at the ER#tell me what the fuck you are doing and ASK ME FIRST
