Got A Triple Of Problems With Your Diagnosis
Chicago, Illinois, Medical Office, USA | Healthy | January 15, 2018
(I’m at my ob-gyn office for a prenatal check-up. I’ve been going to this office for six years. A doctor I’ve never seen before walks in.)
Doctor: “You’re here to renew your hormonal birth control prescription?”
Me: “No?”
(I’m just entering my third trimester with triplets. He could see my belly if he’d look up from his phone. You could see my belly from the other side of the state at this point!)
Doctor: *looks confused for a second but still doesn’t make eye contact, instead condescendingly says* “You are aware that condoms aren’t 100% effective, right?”
Me: “Gee, I wish you’d told me that seven months ago…”
(He finally looked up and tried to pass it off as there being another patient in the office right that minute with my very unusual first and last name.)
