if the only reason they want to know the answer to that question is to determine whether or not we are pregnant, why don’t they just have us pee in a cup?
Okay, and what does the medical personnel do with that information? Do they track it in a secret global period database? Do they get together once a month to laugh about irregular periods?
So the medical personnel asks about the period, writes it down, and then completely ignores the answer for the rest of the examination? They just do X-Rays even if a patient says “I haven’t had my period in 3 months”?
Because I’m one of those women who doesn’t effing know or care when my last menstrual period was. I don’t keep track of those things because it doesn’t effing matter to me. I’m so sick of going to the doctor for something completely unrelated and they treat me like a number and ask me these stupid unrelated questions. And yes they ask this question every single time you go to the doctor regardless of why you’re there. If they want to know whether or not I’m pregnant why don’t they just ask me if I’m pregnant or tell me to pee in a cup. They often make me pee in a cup anyway, I don’t effing care. Stop asking me when my last period was.
Isn’t that a lot more work?
And more invasive. And expensive.
But hey not about womans things
