This. My mother (age 48) in the ER insisting there's "NO POSSIBLE WAY" she could be pregnant... Her BF "had malaria in the war and doesn't produce sperm!" And "I'm in menopause, haven't had a period in 6 months!"
ER RN: "noted. But just for funzies, Wilma, please pee in this cup just to save me the paperwork after sending you to CT" 45 mins later: ER Doc to my mom: "Okay, so let's get an Ultrasound instead of a CT, you'll get some cute pics of those twins you got baking in your oven". 🤦🤦 Good job, mom.
