All Doctors To Procreation Stations!
DOCTOR/PHYSICIAN, ENGLAND, JERK, MEDICAL OFFICE, UK | HEALTHY | AUGUST 2, 2018
(I’ve been having stabbing pains in my abdomen and eventually go, by myself, to the doctor surgery. I am also a “Miss,” as in, not married.)
Doctor: “I see you have PCOS. This pain could just be that.”
Me: “I know there’s pain related to that, but it’s not in the right places and does not feel the same.”
Doctor: “Okay.”
(He’s reading my notes, which surprises me, as other doctors at this surgery don’t.)
Doctor: “You know, it’s not as bad as you may think. There’s a lot we can do now to make sure you can have children now.” *goes on a really long spiel about getting pregnant and having kids, etc.* “Do you want me to arrange an appointment to discuss it with [Doctor]? Or would you like to discuss it with your partner first?”
Me: *thoroughly bewildered* “Um… No, thanks.”
Doctor: “You should talk to your partner about it. He might want kids whilst you’re both young.”
(He went on about PCOS more and having kids, before going back to the reason I was there in the first place. I get making sure I knew that there were options for kids in the future, but I don’t have a partner, and don’t want kids –which he didn’t check before going on about it — and that wasn’t the reason why I was there.)
