You don't get what they're saying. A patient saying they've had a hysterectomy doesn't mean they've had a hysterectomy. Think about the absolute stupidest people and remember that they can also go to the hospital.
well, no. but if they had medical documentation in their chart about having had one, they had one.
but more importantly, that other part: people who've never had a uterus to begin with. I DO get what they're saying, but they probably picked the single most goofy place to comment it under (responding to a story of a trans woman being asked to take a pregnancy test)
Huh, just reading this thread, genuinely curious, is this normal American procedure? Where I live we just have it all centrally documented. Any healthcare professional can, with permission, just see it, which just seems to make sense to me. No idea why you'd do it decentrally, but if that's the norm in the states, if it's all just what a patient tells you, then that does excuse the doctors
