President Donald Trump says he'll release the results of his MRI test that he received in October. During an exchange with reporters as Trump traveled back to Washington from Florida on Sunday, he said: “If you want to have it released, I’ll release it."
I gotta imagine they can scan for stuff like that now fairly quickly. Is that not common practice when you haven’t provided a definite answer to that question? Pretty sure they pregnancy test any child bearing age person regardless of how emphatically they say they aren’t.
Mind you this was ~12 years ago, and I was quite out of it. Not sure what exactly they did or did not. Most of this is retelling from what the doctor told me the next day, after surgery.
Pregnancy test for MRI? I had one early this year (I hated it) and I certainly did not have to take a pregnancy test. Or do you mean pregnancy test in general? Because that one pisses the fuck out of women who absolutely 100% know they aren’t pregnant (haven’t had sex, don’t have their reproductive organs anymore, other possible reasons).
I have a friend who was “incapable of being pregnant” and discovered she was pregnant because the doctor insisted she take a test before a procedure.
She got 2 procedures instead of 1!
There’s a difference between “I thought I was infertile” and “I literally don’t have my uterus and ovaries”. In these situations it comes off as patronizing because there’s “no way” a woman who doesn’t have her reproductive organs knows what she’s talking about. It’s one of those things that adds to the massive pile of medical mistreatment of women, and that’s why it’s a touchy topic for many.
She’d had a tubal ligation, so while not fully incapable she was medically convinced.
The thing is touchy, but patients lie. Until there is definitive proof it could be a lie. People lie for all kinds of reasons.
I agree, but also it’s not always so cut and dry.
The latter. And the other response to you is part of why I’m sure they still get done. But someone that had a hysterectomy for example should be fine and you’d hope there’d be ample documentation to prove that.
