Thank You, Doctor Obvious
DOCTOR/PHYSICIAN, MEDICAL OFFICE, PENNSYLVANIA, STUPID, USA | HEALTHY | SEPTEMBER 29, 2020
I am thirty-two weeks pregnant and experiencing sharp pain at the top of my belly. My obstetrician thinks I may have gallstones so he sends me for an ultrasound. The scan comes back clear. At my next appointment, I bring up the pain again.
Doctor: “Your scan was clear so it’s not gallstones.”
Me: “Okay, well, what else could it be? It’s a pretty significant pain.”
Doctor: “Well… you’re pregnant.”
I wanted to shout, “So THAT’S what’s been going on!” but I refrained.
