It's interesting how me and my sisters will joke Abt me being pregnant since I've missed a lot of my periods but I'm a virgin lol (I've had my period lately, it just will randomly stop Soo)
"It might not be good news." is an underrated part of this exchange. Shout out to them for incorporating that reality into this role play. I'm subscribing.
Fr, had to go to ER for lower abdominal pain, they did three separate pregnancy tests whilst I was there. Makes me wonder why they had to keep doing tests rather than just noting the result and moving on!
Any woman or person with a working womb with nausea, abdo discomfort, dizziness, change in menstrual discharge I see/speak too is recommended for a pregnancy test. I have seen too many Mama Dr Jones videos.
My friend had to have their ovaries removed and when they went to the er with abdominal pain they asked her to do a pregnancy test right after she mentioned that she had her ovaries removed arround 8 months
i went into the doctors office when i was 12, hadn’t had my period, and was a virgin barely knew what sex was. i was getting sick in the morning and only in the mornings which is unusual. the doctor immediately assumed i was pregnant. didn’t give me a test and told my mom i was pregnant😂 we saw a different doctor. turns out i just had a stomach bug
Whereas at the age of 14 I went to the doctors with my mum after having a couple months of being ill at random points and just general lethargy and gradual weight gain. Doctor didn't even look up at me just checked his computer and said "It's threadworm" So 3 months later I managed to get the biggest "threadworm" in existence out of my system weighing in at 8lbs and 3 ounces... How my name isn't in the world book of records I dont' know!
@@inerkatakan8161 any sort of illness (usually 24 to 48 hours) that affects mostly the stomach without having an easily identifiable solution like Food poisoning. At least that's the way I've always been taught it
I wish she had been MY OB! When I was pregnant, I vomited so much that I lost 20 lbs in my first trimester. I went to a practice that they rotate doctors, and kept getting the same super old guy. When I told him how even water made me vomit and I was afraid that the lack of calories was hurting my baby. He completely brushed me off, saying "it's fine...healthy babies were born in Concentration Camps during the Holocaust!" What the hell. This went on until midway through my 2nd trimester- I continued to lose weight and feel awful. I finally got their new, female doctor and she was horrified. She prescribed me nausea meds (none worked, but it felt so nice to be LISTENED to!) I was diagnosed with gravidarum hyperemesis, and the decision was eventually made to hospitalize me to feed me through an IV. I got an amazing daughter out of it though! That was 9 years ago, and it makes me mad to this day, being treated as a whiny kid when I was legitimately so sick. Had this happened today, I would've gone elsewhere. But at 24, with my first pregnancy, it never occurred to me that I should.
Gravidarum hyperemesis is no joke i don't have biological children nor will I ever (my choice no issues that I'm aware of) but I had a cousin who had it in pregnancy and it was hard to watch her be so sick and feel so powerless to do anything to make it better. I'm sure the pregnant persons partner feels even more powerless in that situation. I'm sorry the doc treated you that way. It sounds like the whole office staff failed you. As an MA myself my Dr (the one I work for) would have gotten an ear full of my thoughts on the situation especially if I saw in the chart that amount of weightloss during pregnancy not to mention i can't imagine you looked healthy by any stretch if you couldn't even keep water down. Disgusting just disgusting I hope he was reprimanded so not other mothers have to deal with that.
@@DeliHam probably not. If he’s an older doctor, he’s been there too long to fire. Also, hospitals are notoriously for not taking responsibility for their doctors.
@Ian Foote I'm glad there's a few gentlemen in this God forsaken thread like yourself. The amount of women and betas in here throwing out buzzwords is ridiculous, RaPe, InCeSt, hEaLtH CoNcErNs. When the vast majority of children born are because a dumbass can't keep her legs shut for more than a day.
@@ledfloyd9035 Yeah I agree there are some irresponsible people out there. Sadly, there always will be, but you gotta admit it takes 2 to tango... But seriously, what about those special cases when rape , the possibility the mother might die, or incest does occur? Should they still have the baby? (I'm genuinely curious btw)
Thank you for normalising pregnancy not necessarily being good news. My doctor got me to take a pregnancy test and she knew I absolutely did NOT want to be pregnant. When the nurse came back with the results, she congratulated me on a negative result
@@mkg2124 can’t tell if it’s sarcasm, but yeah she is great. The clinic I go to care about their patients and took the time to get to know me personally so they could provide care that is relevant to my situation
@@embily8186 And considering a lot of the comment threads on this short are being bombarded by incels and religious zealots, you really can't be sure lol
I love how the obgyn said "and it might not be good news" bc not everyone is ready for or even want children. I'm so glad for people who want them! But I also appreciated the fact that she wasn't just like "Oh CoNgRaTs!"
i remember going into the hospital with all the symptoms of pregnancy (i was 15) and it was a new nurse who was taking care of me so she asked me “when did you last have a period” while is when i realised they hadn’t checked my records i’m a trans women-
Congrats, you pass as a woman. 😊😅 Silly nurse. I've heard of them asking cis women who have had a full hysterectomy if they could be pregnant/ when was their last period? They're busy & may not have had time to check, so they just ask, it seems. 😅 It doesn't hurt to nicely remind them, so you get the best treatment. ❤ Or mess with them if they're not super busy, then tell them.😅
I worked in a doctor's office and I cannot tell you the amount of times crap like this happened because people didn't read the chart!!! We actually put that information in there for a reason lol!!!!@sarawhite9338
Had to have a hysterectomy at 19 which was really difficult and it’s happened several times where a dr or nurse or radiologist still make me take a pregnancy test. It’s like salt in the wound knowing it will never say positive. I was like “I’m sorry but do you know how the female anatomy works? I don’t have a uterus, fallopian tubes, cervix, or viable ovaries do you think a baby just floats around in there or?” I understand them covering themselves legally but it still just seems unnecessary. Side note: they make so many hurtful unnecessary comments on top of everything like “that’s such a shame” or “you didn’t want kids?” Or “didn’t you want to experience the entire purpose of being a woman? (Yes, a nurse said this to me) when I wanted nothing more my entire life than to get to experience pregnancy and motherhood, but stage 4 endometriosis and other illnesses took that away.
I hear ya. Had hysterectomy at 30. Endometrial cancer. It's like a kick to the heart. Having the 'empty womb' feeling sucks. Oh and let's not forget the early menopause and how much fun that is....
I am not a doctor.. but based on what I know, ectopic pregnancies happen outside the uterus... So... Could there be a reason why they still do the test?
True story, pregnancy is apparently an ER doctors first thought when they hear nausea. When I was 19 I was in a pretty bad car wreck (as a passenger), the car spun around three times before landing in a ditch and ramming backwards into a cliff wall (we were very fortunate, we came within centimeters of falling off the cliff on the other side of the road. It was a mountain road, to clear). The car was totaled and we were all shaken up pretty badly, I hit my head on the window and on the back of the seat pretty hard when the car finally impacted the cliff wall. I told all of this to me doctor in the ER after I had gone home and started experience symptoms of a concussion. I was too afraid to sleep so….I went to the ER. The doctor spent all of two seconds talking to me, didn’t actually examine me and concluded that I was pregnant. I old him that wasn’t possible and I was certain I had a concussion. I was there with my mom who could vouch for my story as she had seen the totaled car so I thought it was pretty clear that I wasn’t a drug seeker or totally ignorant. But this doctor kept insisting that I was pregnant and then disappeared for an hour. He eventually came back and did a brief physical exam to see if maybe it actually was a concussion after all! He didn’t give me a pregnancy test of any kind, he didn’t even ask if I’d take one. But I kept telling him it was literally not possible, I wasn’t sexually active. He finally said “yeeersh, it looks like you might have a concussion, but it’s not serious, you’re safe to go home and sleep.” I asked him what about the nausea, puking and spinning? He gave me some medication for it and said “don’t worry, these are perfectly safe for the baby”. I have few instances where I wanted to punch someone in the face more than in that moment.
His medical license should’ve been taken- hearing about a crash and then nausea should’ve made him think traumatic injury not baby💀 also if he was so damn sure why not get a test? He sounds like he needs to be fired immediately and maybe even sued cuz who knows what he’s done to other patients who weren’t as firm with their care
When I was a freshman in highschool (15yrs old), I began to experience nausea and vomiting early in the morning every day, but would be fine later on until the next morning. The doc was thankfully intuitive and asked about the date of my last period and about my sexual activity. Basically, the only way I could have been pregnant was if I was the next Virgin Mary. They couldn't find the cause for my problems and sent me home with some advice on how to deal with it. For the next year, I ended up doing my own research and concluded that I had a hiatal hernia. I saw another doctor and told him why I believed it to be the case. After again confirming I wasn't pregnant, the doc humored me and filled out an order to get an endoscopy at the nearest hospital. To their surprise (and not mine), I was right. With a much better understanding of what their patient was dealing with, they were able to give very effective advice on how to mitigate my symptoms (surgery wasn't necessary since it wasn't life-threatening and only an inconvenience).
Literally, wtf?! I would have asked for a different practitioner, that is so utterly ridiculous and unprofessional. I'm so sorry, they need to be retrained.
"It might not be good news" Wow. I was in a hospital gown getting prepped for a tonsillectomy when the surgical staff told me I was pregnant, and I couldn't continue with surgery. When they told me, they opened with joyous congratulations. I thought they were kidding. I told them that there was NO way I could be pregnant. I was on birth control! They were thrilled and kept telling me how it was "God's plan" and it was a "blessing". And of course, kept congratulating me on something I did not want. I was absolutely shattered.
@@TheBlindShilo please, don't get me wrong, it most definitely did not warrant their response. I was just wondering about the antibiotics and that you were there to get your tonsils out. So I thought perhaps you had infected tonsils previously before they scheduled to remove them and that maybe they gave you antibiotics which could effect your bc. I, in no way, agree with what they said or how they responded. I'm a retired nurse and I would never say anything like that to a patient. Whenever I had to tell a patient that their results were positive, I didn't act in anyway, I just stated that the test was positive. I'm well aware that finding out you're pregnant isn't always what a patient wants to hear. I didn't put my feelings or emotions in their business. It should have never happened to you and they should have kept their comments to themselves.
@@JustJerseyJo95 If someone who does not want to be pregnant is using a hormonal method of birth control gets an infection, and is prescribed antibiotics, she should be WARNED that this lessens the effectiveness of the BC, and she needs to start using a different (barrier) method. There are antibiotics which do not have this effect, but they might not be the best in a particular situation.
Tell me that you did not have an abortion….birth control is never fool proof even if you take it regularly…if you have sex expect to get pregnant it’s just that obvious….
How did you never think of it that way? Contraceptives exist and they're fallible, so sometimes people will get pregnant even though they specifically made an effort not to.
@@S_Carol did I ask you for your explanation? Usually when people say they’re pregnant, the first thing I say is “congratulations” Not like I’m a therapist & plan on asking them “and how does that make you feel” If you share the news that you’re pregnant I’m going to automatically assume they want a congratulation
@@jadebear0717 I ask "How do you feel about that?" when someone tells me because I personally (my opinion, disclaimer etc) would be devastated if I found out I was accidentally pregnant. I don't want to assume anything. Everyone is different. And in case you were going to assume further, I am very happily married and neither of us want to be parents ever.
RETIRED OB/GYN here. This certainly wasn’t my experience with the emergency room. Maybe I was just lucky, but Wayne Memorial Hospital in Goldsboro North Carolina the emergency room was superb. Those guys were as superb at OB/GYN emergency care. I would usually get a call with a great history, pertinent labs, their preliminary diagnosis all wrapped up with a bow - kudos and thanks to them.
Thank you! I'm not at the hospital you mentioned but definitely trolled the comments for how ridiculous this is for a representation of EM. I'm an EM doc and we get it... consultants hate to be called at stupid hours (or any hours sometimes) with questions that seem trivial. We don't want to call consultants and sound like we don't know anything... but sometimes we don't know that random factoid that is so specific to your specialty... that's why we are calling! You need ACLS run like a pro or are on the literal verge of death needing fast and smooth intervention? That's our specialty = resuscitology. I know this video is jest, but it really puts EM down and making it seem like we are "idiots of medicine" who can't do anything without someone else telling us what to do. The comments from people not in medicine very obviously show how little they know about the job in the ER... yes I am going to get a pregnancy test on any female of childbearing age regardless of orientation, gender identification or complaint. If there is a uterus, I need to make sure there is not a baby in it for SO many reasons. (Yes many docs can present this better... but point stands). Anyway, longwinded statement to say thank you for standing up for EM docs.
Low key surprised he didn’t ask her about all that. I went to the ER for a knee injury and got asked about my period, sexual activity, and risk of pregnancy. I really didn’t care about it but my grandma was absolutely horrified he would ask a 13 year old that…even though she used to be a nurse
So true So true! Pregnant women go to the ER for a twisted ankle and they want to send them up to Labor and Delivery. Once they wanted to send up a 10 weeks pregnant women with a sore throat. Seriously we deliver babies on our unit.
Girl went into the hospital while I was there to give birth (my hubby just happened to know her boyfriend). She was there for what the doctor said was a massive abdominal intestinal hernia. They were ready to do emergency surgery, she was waiting in the labor and delivery area with us because they work better with female patients, and are always staffed. She was in pain every few minutes. They told us the symptoms, and I mentioned how it sounded like she was just pregnant, and having contractions. They both got a little nervous, but doctor knows best right? They took me away to give birth, and I found out the next morning that she gave birth to a 8+ pound baby. The doctors never did a pregnancy test, they never did an ultrasound, they just assumed it was a massive hernia with no testing done. Because I gave them a heads up and had the idea of a baby in their head, they weren't as surprised as the doctors. He thanked me by bringing McDonald's to my room for dinner. Which was great because the hospital forgot to bring me breakfast, lunch, and dinner. LoL
The "it might not be good news" is so important to keep in mind. I told someone I wanted to get a test because I had some weird symptoms and they got all excited and I had to explain the pregnancy would be just about the worst thing for my life right now and it was so awkward. Keep your opinions to yourself and break the news in a neutral way
@@inlongingI just stumbled upon this video again and saw your reply, I am still child free, never had a positive test and getting married this fall so after that it will finally be something I could genuinely be excited about. My biggest problem at the time was that I was completely broke and I grew up in a very conservative household and getting pregnant before marriage would have caused a huge amount of drama
“it might not be good news” it makes me gen happy that she added that in there because i know i would be devastated if i found out i was pregnant. i don’t take good care of myself, i’m not prepared to have a child, i’m not prepared for the pains, i’m not ready for all the money i’m going to have to give up.
For whatever reason even though pregnancy is completely normal if you aren’t in OB every single person in healthcare treats pregnant women like they are ticking time bombs. Nurses and doctors are all like “ Ahhh she’s pregnant I might kill baby, what do I do?!?!?!”, mean while OB is like “what? Your just putting in a peripheral IV, what’s the big deal?”
As a woman I can confirm how clueless and at the same time obsessed medical professionals can be with pregnancy. Always their go-to explanation and demanding tests before doing anything... Even when their LESBIAN patient is explaining that, while they are right that lesbians CAN get pregnant... One would REMEMBER if she had risked it in the past year or so.
@@rainbowtheythemshe1115 oh you would be SO surprised. Weird things happen. Bad things happen. People lie to themselves. Like all the time. Often the partner is at the bedside and there’s no quick way to get them to step out without screwing up your customer satisfaction score, which is ALL administration cares about. So yeah, women who have sex with women still need routine pregnancy tests. Nothing worse than diagnosing pregnancy by CT scan
As an asexual who doesn't have sex, I love the look on medical professionals faces when they go "but how can you be a 100% sure you're not pregnant, you know no birthcontrol method is 100% right?" But then there's always the smart ones who ask if you're sexually active and respectfully move on when you say no.
I get nauseous a lot, I get so many pregnant questions. Sometimes when I say no, they follow up with, “well you can never be too sure…” I DONT HAVE A UTERUS
If they say that again just say well actually abstinence is 100% effective. Lol I’ve had this happen to me. I was having massive problems with car sickness like I turn too fast and I feel like I need to hurl. I got a bunch of tests done and without asking they did a pregnancy test. I saw it on the sheet and my parents jokingly asked if I could. I deadpan said then I would be having baby Jesus. At this point I didn’t know about asexuality but I was definitely ace lol
@@kallarae927 yeah no, I've recently had very bad nausea, cramping and bloating, and everytime I talk to someone they go on a rant about how you can never be too sure if you're pregnant. But I do kind of love the abstinence comment, I might have to steal that for next time!
@@tangyorange6509 if you still have ovaries technically you can get pregnant. Embryos have attached to organs outside the uterus and babies have grown to full-term. It’s horrifying
Ya i had this conversation once. I replied because you have to have sex. And they replied, i was 24, they replied but how do you know if you had sex or not. I litterally had to explain to them what sex is.
“It might not be good news” Thank you! The way my doctor came in and said “well you’re pregnant” 🤦♀️ Bruh I was told I couldn’t have kids due to hormone issues. Which I now know was a bunch of bs but at the time I almost fainted!
I love that he is aware that he is not qualified to treat this patient properly and is not afraid to ask the right person the right questions to provide the best care for the patient. Good doctor.
I went in to the ER bc of bleeding and I was scared of a miscarriage. I was 12 weeks along. The nurse did not want to believe I was pregnant. I told him I had 4 ultrasounds! I was an IVF patient recently released from my clinic so I was extremely sure I pregnant😑 Luckily the PA stepped in and I no longer had to deal with him.
@@mkg2124 I have 2 very much planned and loved kids. However I almost died having my last, twice and have been left with life threatening complications a year on. My Dr's told me point blank - no more kids or I will lose my life. Thankfully I wanted to get sterilized anyway, so did, but there's always a small chance of pregnancy even if I'm careful. Should I get pregnant again, I would have to abort. No hesitation.
This reminds me of the time I went to the ER because my C Section scar was infected (went to L&D first but they told me the only OB available was the ER one-which. Kudos for having an ER OB). Here I was, days after having a baby and they order a pregnancy test. I mean I’m glad they did just to be safe, but I thought it was funny.
I’m on birth control and I withhold the information until the very last detail so whenever doctors ask me when my last period was my response is always “I don’t get periods” I always LOVE watching their faces go 👁👄👁 Had a procedure done the other day
Funnily enough, I'm on birth control *to get* periods because for some unknown reason my body is like "nah we ain't bleeding, no cycles for you little miss" and apparently amenorrhea (lack of a period) is dangerous. So when I was 17 and younger, whenever a medical worker asked me when my last period was I would go "uh, never?" And they would look at me like "tf is wrong with this kid?" Like damn yeah I wanna know that too 😂
as a lesbian with persistent GI issues, namely nausea, that have had me in and out of doc’s offices and ERs for years now- it’s never not funny to me that the immediate reaction to “AFAB experiencing nausea” is “pregnancy test.” like- i get it, but trust me, unless i’ve somehow pulled a virgin mary i can promise you that’s not the problem
Lmao amen …. I had surgery several years ago and they delayed the start so they could do a upt even after I informed them pregnancy wasn’t an option unless it was the immaculate conception lol
and doesn't matter what you are (LBT), Asexual, etc., how do they know you weren't assaulted while passed out? Women & girls are drugged all time while out or with people they THINK are safe. Best to check everyone that could be pregnant.
"Do you think she's expecting this?" ****"It might not be good news"**** EXACTLY. This could be devastating news. Rape, incest, regrettable mistake, or simply completely unplanned on an otherwise non-child trajectory in life. This could be the worst news she ever gets in her life. Prompting hard decisions, financial panic, parental condemnation or being disowned, and possibly escape to another state for medical rights. 🍃 Great skit! Great points.
I just don’t like when the doc asks “well her moms In room” OB says “oh I’m sure she(patient) won’t mind” That’s a SERIOUS HIPPA violation,and I’d most DEFINITELY mind!! I was 18 when I was first pregnant with my daughter,and the Doctor made my mom leave the room. I’m really glad they respected my privacy, even as an 18yr old.
@@FandomObsessedArtist damn, like respect your HIPPA rights? It could be age, like if you were were pregnant that young, they’d probably tell your parents/guardians before you even knew..due to you still legally being a child..but I still think a doctor should talk with a patient FIRST as long as that patient can comprehend what’s going on..it’s still YOUR body, and your decisions...
Just a reminder that teenagers usually are almost fully grown and can look 20’s. If she’s there with her mom she could very well be a teenager. Definitely could not be good news. Although I wouldn’t tell a patient stuff with their mother in the room unless the girl is 100% comfortable with her mother hearing what’s happening.
obstetric violence is A VERY REAL THING! reading this comments my heart goes to any mothers who had to go trough these awful experiences. i know people of color who had to go through degrading treatment while being pregnant (which is one hell of a rollercoaster already) and it really is heartbreaking. appreciate the humor and the silliness, but let’s remember these are very real issues.
"It might not be good news" i love that. When i had to go to urgent care i told the nurse that i found out i was pregnant and she jist said "hmm... good news bad news?" In the most neutral tone. (Cant say the same for the Dr which is why nurses will always have my respect)
We think my little sister has endometriosis. She has all the symptoms and our mother has it too. A while ago, she got her period, which she only got every couple of months. She was in so much pain and couldn't even eat or drink without throwing up, meaning she couldn't even take medicine. She's a real tough cookie and it's the only time I've ever seen her cry, other than when she was an infant. It got so bad that every couple of minutes she couldn't even talk. My parents took her to the hospital and the doctors were very dismissive and just assumed she was pregnant. She couldn't take a pregnancy test because she couldn't pee because she couldn't drink anything, so they refused to give her any medication because she might be pregnant. Even though she never even had a boyfriend. AND SHE WAD FOURTEEN. Sure, I know some teens ruin it for everyone else by lying about their sexual history, but this makes my blood boil every time I think about it and the pain she was in
That’s horrible. They could have easily given her a rapid pregnancy test if they were THAT worried 🙄(I believe you if you say she’s not having sex) And once it came back negative,they could have helped her with her pain! And referred her to where she can get follow up help afterwards!! That’s a horrible ER!!!
@@maureenjossick429 yup. It's the closest hospital and everyone I've talked to who's been there absolutely hates it. My adopted sister's biological mother went there years ago, and had to call 911 3 times that day. After a couple hours at the hospital, they sent her home saying she was totally fine, and she died hours later.
When I went in with a ruptured cyst they kept asking me if I could be pregnant and I told them absolutely not and they said they wouldn’t treat me if I didn’t take a test and boom it was negative. They still didn’t treat me because they had no ideas after that
🤣🤣🤣🤣 True! Oh, SO true! (Gyneacology nurse here - we see pregnant patients until week 16. For some reason, they always get referred to us, no matter what they come in for... Like: "She's hurt her finger, but she's pregnant, so OBGYN has to see her!" Uhm, how about no? 🤪)
It's all fun and games till you show up at the ER with extreme pain, cramping, and vomiting, and they run 3 pregnancy tests "to be sure" when there is no chance you could be pregnant. I had bursting ovary cysts. They gave me Paracetamol 🙃
This happened to my mom. Told she couldn’t have kids and went in for stomach pains or something. Doctor sent her away. She finds out a couple months later that she’s been pregnant the whole time 🤦🏻♀️
Lol. Please do the scenario of everyone wanting to do a pregnancy test on a patient who's had a hysterectomy, has said she's had a hysterectomy, is stated in her chart that she's had a hysterectomy... and she's still given the pregnancy test. That whole thing. So fun!
They test for pregnancy nearly every time I go to a damn doctor. I’ll be on my period at the time and they’re like “so you’re not pregnant” showing me the negative test 😂But hey since I’m still not pregnant after 4 years why am I still nauseous?
Thank you for saying it might not be good news!!! Way too many people think that everyone should be thrilled about a pregnancy, and it can be extremely damaging to the woman who is pregnant.
It's merely impossible for me to get pregnant but when I was 15 I fainted and ended up in the ER and the doctor asked "when was your last period" lmao I didn't even know my cycle myself,. they did a pregnancy test and I never did any sexual activity in my life🤣 a weeks later i ended up in the hospital again and they did another test with the same results😭
I love that the dr accounts I follow are just becoming straight up, in depth medical advice. With so many under insured, scared to go to the hospital, or facing whatever other barrier to care... it's so needed. We have questions.
This makes me wonder Does the lady have to be prescribed pregnancy-safe medications no matter what or only if she decides to keep the pregnancy? I would absolutely flip I was denied my usual meds for the sake of a future-abortion.
Some medications are contraindicated in pregnancy. Regardless of the intention to continue the pregnancy you cannot prescribe a known dangerous medication without a clear essential need. Most conditions have alternatives available, and if personal health was being impacted a termination can be facilitated to ensure routine care can continue.
If you're in the US, you may not be able to get an abortion since Row v Wade was overturned. It would depend on what state you're in, how far along you are & if the pregnancy is likely to kill you in lots of cases. Some places might make you carry the pregnancy no matter what. I've heard some horror stories. (I'm not in Healthcare.) Med wise, they'll play it safe for the fetus, if there is one. Some may say it's in case you change your mind. It's more likely them covering their butts & liability. They don't want to be accused of causing an abortion (unless it's legal there & that was intended) or birth defects. Women's Healthcare is a mess in the US. 😢
I was really nauseous and went to an er. Turns out i had to have surgery to remove my appendix. First there was a male nurse asking me stuff and a bit later he left and a female nurse came in and asked me when my last period was. Idk if it was bc the male nurse was embarrassed to ask or not 😂
lol so true. On the flip side, in L&D if they get a patient with actual other medical issues they panic and don't know what to do. They're not used to treating actual sick people who also happen to be having a baby. (at least as admitted by some).
I remember having bad stomach pain due to ovarian cysts and the doctors insisting I needed a pregnancy test. I told them I’d ask my girlfriend what she thought.
Feel like er doctors throw pregnecy tests at women. Nauseous? Pregnecy test. headache? Pregnecy test. fell into a woodchopper and got your arm cut off? Could be pregnant gotta test it.
Now do one for the inability to get pregnant. I loved having 3 dr.s in the room all with confused looks when I did not give a heck. They expected me to be shocked or sad or depressed about it, I guess.
Yeah, I was a little concerned when he said there were meds for that. I remember when ondansetron/Zofran was being given out like candy o pregnant women, but just heard in recent years that it, too, has been associated with birth defects. B6 and ginger would surely be fine, though.
"Not always good news" is so true. Even if there was no trauma that led to the pregnancy, some of us are (in medical terms) "habitual aborters" who really counted on birth control to prevent more miscarriages. You may have "done everything right" and get to suffer another miscarriage anyway.
Every time Dr Jennifer is on screen her audio has this high pitched ring/buzz to it and I can't help but imagine a patient is flat-lined during this interaction 😂
So true! The ER can literally be calm cool and collected when someone's liver is hanging out of their body....but a baby...HOLY MOLY! They lose their minds! Hey, ER nurses.....the baby is SUPPOSED to come out...liver's are SUPPOSED to stay inside.
Literally every time I go to the doctor, say I’m gay and don’t need a pregnancy test and they do it anyway then say “ yay you’re not pregnant” like no shit
So funny! I worked in L&D for 30 years and we used to laugh about how fast they would send a pregnant patient that came in the ER to us. Like if they could put them in the pneumatic tube system they would🤣. On the flip side, I’m glad we didn’t deal with broken bones!
Ginger and b6 did nothing for severe nausea 😭 I had to be on both of those plus reglan and zofran every few hours and Benadryl on top of that and weekly iv fluids to stay alive
I feel you! Zofran was the only thing that helped me. Vomiting ginger is terrible. The doctor needs to ask how often the patient vomiting. If it was bad enough to come to the ER, it is probably hyperemesis and ginger and b6 aren’t going to cut it.
Ahh the memories 😂 I remember getting the call “how do I order a pregnancy test?” Granted it’s had been extremely rare to have a woman of child bearing age where I worked at the time, but I was one of only 2 people working in the whole place that did GYN (not even true OB) care. I would have to bring down supplies for exams from my office too until I created a cart and did lots of education 🤦🏻♀️ It’s completely different now (in a positive way).
I've been sick for 2 months. Went and seen my Dr. He ran blood work, urinalysis, all the works... But didn't check my HCG levels... Decided to finally take an at home test. 😅 I am pregnant. And my doctor couldn't figure that out 🤦♀️🤦♀️
If I were in that situation and my doctor told me I was pregnant I would be overjoyed. I want kids. But my body had other ideas. I ended up in the ER for abdominal pain and vomiting several times before finally getting an accurate diagnosis, and I was tested for pregnancy every time because that was always the first possible solution to my problem.
My gall bladder was rotting inside my body for 3 years because "its just pregnancy pain" But then when my OBGYN cleared me to have the surgery, the actual surgeon didn't want to because she was afraid of harming my 1 week old fetus (as determined by the actual pregnancy test) Eventually I was permitted to do the surgery, and after i was told "If you didn't get this done, you probably would have died in like 3 days" Yeah, I WAS pregnant for 3 years 😂 separate pregnancies, obviously 💁🏼♀️

Fr, had to go to ER for lower abdominal pain, they did three separate pregnancy tests whilst I was there. Makes me wonder why they had to keep doing tests rather than just noting the result and moving on!
And it comes back always postive
Any woman or person with a working womb with nausea, abdo discomfort, dizziness, change in menstrual discharge I see/speak too is recommended for a pregnancy test. I have seen too many Mama Dr Jones videos.

I wish she had been MY OB! When I was pregnant, I vomited so much that I lost 20 lbs in my first trimester. I went to a practice that they rotate doctors, and kept getting the same super old guy. When I told him how even water made me vomit and I was afraid that the lack of calories was hurting my baby. He completely brushed me off, saying "it's fine...healthy babies were born in Concentration Camps during the Holocaust!" What the hell. This went on until midway through my 2nd trimester- I continued to lose weight and feel awful. I finally got their new, female doctor and she was horrified. She prescribed me nausea meds (none worked, but it felt so nice to be LISTENED to!) I was diagnosed with gravidarum hyperemesis, and the decision was eventually made to hospitalize me to feed me through an IV. I got an amazing daughter out of it though!
That was 9 years ago, and it makes me mad to this day, being treated as a whiny kid when I was legitimately so sick. Had this happened today, I would've gone elsewhere. But at 24, with my first pregnancy, it never occurred to me that I should.
W-wow, I hope that guy got fired
Healthy babies were born in the Holocaust? Wut? That’s a statement i’d expect from an over the top cartoon character. That’s bonkers.
Gravidarum hyperemesis is no joke i don't have biological children nor will I ever (my choice no issues that I'm aware of) but I had a cousin who had it in pregnancy and it was hard to watch her be so sick and feel so powerless to do anything to make it better. I'm sure the pregnant persons partner feels even more powerless in that situation.
I'm sorry the doc treated you that way. It sounds like the whole office staff failed you. As an MA myself my Dr (the one I work for) would have gotten an ear full of my thoughts on the situation especially if I saw in the chart that amount of weightloss during pregnancy not to mention i can't imagine you looked healthy by any stretch if you couldn't even keep water down. Disgusting just disgusting I hope he was reprimanded so not other mothers have to deal with that.

That's when you really freak her out and talk about how you were always told you were born without ovaries, so this must be extra serious.
Congrats, you pass as a woman. 😊😅 Silly nurse. I've heard of them asking cis women who have had a full hysterectomy if they could be pregnant/ when was their last period? They're busy & may not have had time to check, so they just ask, it seems. 😅 It doesn't hurt to nicely remind them, so you get the best treatment. ❤ Or mess with them if they're not super busy, then tell them.😅

I worked in a doctor's office and I cannot tell you the amount of times crap like this happened because people didn't read the chart!!! We actually put that information in there for a reason lol!!!!@sarawhite9338
Had to have a hysterectomy at 19 which was really difficult and it’s happened several times where a dr or nurse or radiologist still make me take a pregnancy test. It’s like salt in the wound knowing it will never say positive. I was like “I’m sorry but do you know how the female anatomy works? I don’t have a uterus, fallopian tubes, cervix, or viable ovaries do you think a baby just floats around in there or?” I understand them covering themselves legally but it still just seems unnecessary. Side note: they make so many hurtful unnecessary comments on top of everything like “that’s such a shame” or “you didn’t want kids?” Or “didn’t you want to experience the entire purpose of being a woman? (Yes, a nurse said this to me) when I wanted nothing more my entire life than to get to experience pregnancy and motherhood, but stage 4 endometriosis and other illnesses took that away.
I hear ya. Had hysterectomy at 30. Endometrial cancer. It's like a kick to the heart. Having the 'empty womb' feeling sucks. Oh and let's not forget the early menopause and how much fun that is....

True story, pregnancy is apparently an ER doctors first thought when they hear nausea. When I was 19 I was in a pretty bad car wreck (as a passenger), the car spun around three times before landing in a ditch and ramming backwards into a cliff wall (we were very fortunate, we came within centimeters of falling off the cliff on the other side of the road. It was a mountain road, to clear). The car was totaled and we were all shaken up pretty badly, I hit my head on the window and on the back of the seat pretty hard when the car finally impacted the cliff wall. I told all of this to me doctor in the ER after I had gone home and started experience symptoms of a concussion. I was too afraid to sleep so….I went to the ER. The doctor spent all of two seconds talking to me, didn’t actually examine me and concluded that I was pregnant. I old him that wasn’t possible and I was certain I had a concussion. I was there with my mom who could vouch for my story as she had seen the totaled car so I thought it was pretty clear that I wasn’t a drug seeker or totally ignorant. But this doctor kept insisting that I was pregnant and then disappeared for an hour. He eventually came back and did a brief physical exam to see if maybe it actually was a concussion after all! He didn’t give me a pregnancy test of any kind, he didn’t even ask if I’d take one. But I kept telling him it was literally not possible, I wasn’t sexually active. He finally said “yeeersh, it looks like you might have a concussion, but it’s not serious, you’re safe to go home and sleep.” I asked him what about the nausea, puking and spinning? He gave me some medication for it and said “don’t worry, these are perfectly safe for the baby”. I have few instances where I wanted to punch someone in the face more than in that moment.
His medical license should’ve been taken- hearing about a crash and then nausea should’ve made him think traumatic injury not baby💀 also if he was so damn sure why not get a test? He sounds like he needs to be fired immediately and maybe even sued cuz who knows what he’s done to other patients who weren’t as firm with their care
When I was a freshman in highschool (15yrs old), I began to experience nausea and vomiting early in the morning every day, but would be fine later on until the next morning. The doc was thankfully intuitive and asked about the date of my last period and about my sexual activity. Basically, the only way I could have been pregnant was if I was the next Virgin Mary. They couldn't find the cause for my problems and sent me home with some advice on how to deal with it. For the next year, I ended up doing my own research and concluded that I had a hiatal hernia. I saw another doctor and told him why I believed it to be the case. After again confirming I wasn't pregnant, the doc humored me and filled out an order to get an endoscopy at the nearest hospital. To their surprise (and not mine), I was right. With a much better understanding of what their patient was dealing with, they were able to give very effective advice on how to mitigate my symptoms (surgery wasn't necessary since it wasn't life-threatening and only an inconvenience).
Omg, if my mom or grandma were there they would've punched the doctor 🤣🤣🤣
What the fuck???????? Hope he’s not practicing medicine anymore jesus. And holy shit @ that accident!! Are u good now? Any lasting effects?
Literally, wtf?! I would have asked for a different practitioner, that is so utterly ridiculous and unprofessional. I'm so sorry, they need to be retrained.
"It might not be good news"
Wow.
I was in a hospital gown getting prepped for a tonsillectomy when the surgical staff told me I was pregnant, and I couldn't continue with surgery.
When they told me, they opened with joyous congratulations. I thought they were kidding. I told them that there was NO way I could be pregnant. I was on birth control!
They were thrilled and kept telling me how it was "God's plan" and it was a "blessing". And of course, kept congratulating me on something I did not want. I was absolutely shattered.
Were you on antibiotics for a tonsil infection previously?? Some antibiotics cancel out bc pills
@JustJerseyJo95 no, I wasn't. Even if I was, it didn't warrant their response.
@@TheBlindShilo please, don't get me wrong, it most definitely did not warrant their response. I was just wondering about the antibiotics and that you were there to get your tonsils out. So I thought perhaps you had infected tonsils previously before they scheduled to remove them and that maybe they gave you antibiotics which could effect your bc. I, in no way, agree with what they said or how they responded. I'm a retired nurse and I would never say anything like that to a patient.
Whenever I had to tell a patient that their results were positive, I didn't act in anyway, I just stated that the test was positive. I'm well aware that finding out you're pregnant isn't always what a patient wants to hear. I didn't put my feelings or emotions in their business. It should have never happened to you and they should have kept their comments to themselves.
@@JustJerseyJo95 If someone who does not want to be pregnant is using a hormonal method of birth control gets an infection, and is prescribed antibiotics, she should be WARNED that this lessens the effectiveness of the BC, and she needs to start using a different (barrier) method.
There are antibiotics which do not have this effect, but they might not be the best in a particular situation.
Tell me that you did not have an abortion….birth control is never fool proof even if you take it regularly…if you have sex expect to get pregnant it’s just that obvious….

RETIRED OB/GYN here. This certainly wasn’t my experience with the emergency room. Maybe I was just lucky, but Wayne Memorial Hospital in Goldsboro North Carolina the emergency room was superb. Those guys were as superb at OB/GYN emergency care. I would usually get a call with a great history, pertinent labs, their preliminary diagnosis all wrapped up with a bow - kudos and thanks to them.
Thank you! I'm not at the hospital you mentioned but definitely trolled the comments for how ridiculous this is for a representation of EM. I'm an EM doc and we get it... consultants hate to be called at stupid hours (or any hours sometimes) with questions that seem trivial. We don't want to call consultants and sound like we don't know anything... but sometimes we don't know that random factoid that is so specific to your specialty... that's why we are calling!
You need ACLS run like a pro or are on the literal verge of death needing fast and smooth intervention? That's our specialty = resuscitology.
I know this video is jest, but it really puts EM down and making it seem like we are "idiots of medicine" who can't do anything without someone else telling us what to do. The comments from people not in medicine very obviously show how little they know about the job in the ER... yes I am going to get a pregnancy test on any female of childbearing age regardless of orientation, gender identification or complaint. If there is a uterus, I need to make sure there is not a baby in it for SO many reasons. (Yes many docs can present this better... but point stands).
Anyway, longwinded statement to say thank you for standing up for EM docs.
Low key surprised he didn’t ask her about all that. I went to the ER for a knee injury and got asked about my period, sexual activity, and risk of pregnancy. I really didn’t care about it but my grandma was absolutely horrified he would ask a 13 year old that…even though she used to be a nurse

So true So true! Pregnant women go to the ER for a twisted ankle and they want to send them up to Labor and Delivery. Once they wanted to send up a 10 weeks pregnant women with a sore throat. Seriously we deliver babies on our unit.
Girl went into the hospital while I was there to give birth (my hubby just happened to know her boyfriend). She was there for what the doctor said was a massive abdominal intestinal hernia. They were ready to do emergency surgery, she was waiting in the labor and delivery area with us because they work better with female patients, and are always staffed. She was in pain every few minutes. They told us the symptoms, and I mentioned how it sounded like she was just pregnant, and having contractions. They both got a little nervous, but doctor knows best right?
They took me away to give birth, and I found out the next morning that she gave birth to a 8+ pound baby. The doctors never did a pregnancy test, they never did an ultrasound, they just assumed it was a massive hernia with no testing done.
Because I gave them a heads up and had the idea of a baby in their head, they weren't as surprised as the doctors. He thanked me by bringing McDonald's to my room for dinner. Which was great because the hospital forgot to bring me breakfast, lunch, and dinner. LoL
I love the doc Schmidt is confident enough to be the villain in all of these
The "it might not be good news" is so important to keep in mind.

"Do you think she's expecting this?"
****"It might not be good news"**** EXACTLY. This could be devastating news. Rape, incest, regrettable mistake, or simply completely unplanned on an otherwise non-child trajectory in life. This could be the worst news she ever gets in her life. Prompting hard decisions, financial panic, parental condemnation or being disowned, and possibly escape to another state for medical rights. 🍃 Great skit! Great points.
I just don’t like when the doc asks “well her moms In room”
OB says “oh I’m sure she(patient) won’t mind”
That’s a SERIOUS HIPPA violation,and I’d most DEFINITELY mind!! I was 18 when I was first pregnant with my daughter,and the Doctor made my mom leave the room. I’m really glad they respected my privacy, even as an 18yr old.
@@maureenjossick429 so true!! The mom is not an assumed ally! We hope.. but that's not always true :(
@@maureenjossick429 bro they didn't even do that for me at age 12
@@FandomObsessedArtist damn, like respect your HIPPA rights? It could be age, like if you were were pregnant that young, they’d probably tell your parents/guardians before you even knew..due to you still legally being a child..but I still think a doctor should talk with a patient FIRST as long as that patient can comprehend what’s going on..it’s still YOUR body, and your decisions...

Just a reminder that teenagers usually are almost fully grown and can look 20’s. If she’s there with her mom she could very well be a teenager. Definitely could not be good news. Although I wouldn’t tell a patient stuff with their mother in the room unless the girl is 100% comfortable with her mother hearing what’s happening.
obstetric violence is A VERY REAL THING! reading this comments my heart goes to any mothers who had to go trough these awful experiences. i know people of color who had to go through degrading treatment while being pregnant (which is one hell of a rollercoaster already) and it really is heartbreaking. appreciate the humor and the silliness, but let’s remember these are very real issues.
This confirms that what a doctor tells you should never be taken at face value. There are plenty of doctors who really don't know much at all.
"It might not be good news" i love that. When i had to go to urgent care i told the nurse that i found out i was pregnant and she jist said "hmm... good news bad news?" In the most neutral tone. (Cant say the same for the Dr which is why nurses will always have my respect)
We think my little sister has endometriosis. She has all the symptoms and our mother has it too. A while ago, she got her period, which she only got every couple of months. She was in so much pain and couldn't even eat or drink without throwing up, meaning she couldn't even take medicine. She's a real tough cookie and it's the only time I've ever seen her cry, other than when she was an infant. It got so bad that every couple of minutes she couldn't even talk. My parents took her to the hospital and the doctors were very dismissive and just assumed she was pregnant. She couldn't take a pregnancy test because she couldn't pee because she couldn't drink anything, so they refused to give her any medication because she might be pregnant. Even though she never even had a boyfriend. AND SHE WAD FOURTEEN.
Sure, I know some teens ruin it for everyone else by lying about their sexual history, but this makes my blood boil every time I think about it and the pain she was in
That’s horrible. They could have easily given her a rapid pregnancy test if they were THAT worried 🙄(I believe you if you say she’s not having sex)
And once it came back negative,they could have helped her with her pain! And referred her to where she can get follow up help afterwards!! That’s a horrible ER!!!
@@maureenjossick429 yup. It's the closest hospital and everyone I've talked to who's been there absolutely hates it. My adopted sister's biological mother went there years ago, and had to call 911 3 times that day. After a couple hours at the hospital, they sent her home saying she was totally fine, and she died hours later.
I love how she said that it might not be good news. Because it really might not be!
When I went in with a ruptured cyst they kept asking me if I could be pregnant and I told them absolutely not and they said they wouldn’t treat me if I didn’t take a test and boom it was negative. They still didn’t treat me because they had no ideas after that
🤣🤣🤣🤣
True! Oh, SO true!
(Gyneacology nurse here - we see pregnant patients until week 16. For some reason, they always get referred to us, no matter what they come in for... Like: "She's hurt her finger, but she's pregnant, so OBGYN has to see her!" Uhm, how about no? 🤪)
Exactly. Like, pregnant people aren't THAT different from normal humans to point where regular doctors can't treat them. 🙄
It's all fun and games till you show up at the ER with extreme pain, cramping, and vomiting, and they run 3 pregnancy tests "to be sure" when there is no chance you could be pregnant.
I had bursting ovary cysts.
They gave me Paracetamol 🙃
This happened to my mom. Told she couldn’t have kids and went in for stomach pains or something. Doctor sent her away. She finds out a couple months later that she’s been pregnant the whole time 🤦🏻♀️
Lol.
Please do the scenario of everyone wanting to do a pregnancy test on a patient who's had a hysterectomy, has said she's had a hysterectomy, is stated in her chart that she's had a hysterectomy... and she's still given the pregnancy test. That whole thing. So fun!
At what age do they stop doing the pregnancy tests?
@@tweetiebirdism I'm 40 and they still want to do them every 15 minutes. Hopefully soon.
They test for pregnancy nearly every time I go to a damn doctor. I’ll be on my period at the time and they’re like “so you’re not pregnant” showing me the negative test 😂But hey since I’m still not pregnant after 4 years why am I still nauseous?
They make money on every one of those pregnancy tests!
Thank you for saying it might not be good news!!! Way too many people think that everyone should be thrilled about a pregnancy, and it can be extremely damaging to the woman who is pregnant.
It's merely impossible for me to get pregnant but when I was 15 I fainted and ended up in the ER and the doctor asked "when was your last period" lmao I didn't even know my cycle myself,. they did a pregnancy test and I never did any sexual activity in my life🤣 a weeks later i ended up in the hospital again and they did another test with the same results😭
I love that the dr accounts I follow are just becoming straight up, in depth medical advice. With so many under insured, scared to go to the hospital, or facing whatever other barrier to care... it's so needed. We have questions.
The OB/GYN has such a soothing voice and persona omg
This makes me wonder
Does the lady have to be prescribed pregnancy-safe medications no matter what or only if she decides to keep the pregnancy?
I would absolutely flip I was denied my usual meds for the sake of a future-abortion.
Some medications are contraindicated in pregnancy. Regardless of the intention to continue the pregnancy you cannot prescribe a known dangerous medication without a clear essential need.
Most conditions have alternatives available, and if personal health was being impacted a termination can be facilitated to ensure routine care can continue.
If you're in the US, you may not be able to get an abortion since Row v Wade was overturned. It would depend on what state you're in, how far along you are & if the pregnancy is likely to kill you in lots of cases. Some places might make you carry the pregnancy no matter what. I've heard some horror stories. (I'm not in Healthcare.) Med wise, they'll play it safe for the fetus, if there is one. Some may say it's in case you change your mind. It's more likely them covering their butts & liability. They don't want to be accused of causing an abortion (unless it's legal there & that was intended) or birth defects. Women's Healthcare is a mess in the US. 😢
He is hilarious. The whole deal, very smart great actor and clearly a great doctor! Oh, and not self absorbed 👍
Peds, same.
ER: "He's 7 months old, has a snotty nose, and room air sats of 94%!!!"
Me: "And?"
I was really nauseous and went to an er. Turns out i had to have surgery to remove my appendix. First there was a male nurse asking me stuff and a bit later he left and a female nurse came in and asked me when my last period was. Idk if it was bc the male nurse was embarrassed to ask or not 😂
Ha! The OB Totally fell for "ER Dr plays ignorant so he can have another doctor deal with a patient" maneuver.
hmmmmm, my patient is a female. probably should consult ob/gyn just in case
"You know what, I'll just come on down and talk to her..."
Gurl!!! Too funny. And a real woman, no wigs! Lol!
The OBGYN doctor looks so tired and patient, it's golden
THIS!
Spot on!
Even better are the Gyn consults asking which orifice the blood originates from in a patient who hasn’t been examined below the waist.
I love how she speaks, so nice to the ear
lol so true. On the flip side, in L&D if they get a patient with actual other medical issues they panic and don't know what to do. They're not used to treating actual sick people who also happen to be having a baby. (at least as admitted by some).
I remember having bad stomach pain due to ovarian cysts and the doctors insisting I needed a pregnancy test. I told them I’d ask my girlfriend what she thought.
I love all your videos, but the pregnancy skits are my favorite! Thank you for bringing us so much relatable entertainment!
Feel like er doctors throw pregnecy tests at women. Nauseous? Pregnecy test. headache? Pregnecy test. fell into a woodchopper and got your arm cut off? Could be pregnant gotta test it.
Lmao exactly!! I’ve got my tubes burned, tied, etc.. I go in for anything ??
“Give her a pregnancy test”
🤦🏻♀️
Have you vomited or been nauseous any time in the past 3 years? Pregnancy test.
I was that guy during my internship. Lol. I look back and remember the kind of embarrassing things I did/ asked my seniors. Its so embarrassing....
Reminds me of how petrified the ER doc was when I had a precipitous labor. He couldn't get me to L & D fast enough! 😁
I don’t think this is what it should be interpreted as but the way he talks about her period like “moms don’t get periods” gets me. 🤣🤣
Yeah I work in a hospital, can confirm some E.R. workers just want the patient out of their department
Excitement even through confusion 😂 You did the right thing calling the OBGYN 🤭🤭
Now do one for the inability to get pregnant. I loved having 3 dr.s in the room all with confused looks when I did not give a heck. They expected me to be shocked or sad or depressed about it, I guess.
Keep up the videos, they make me laugh and reminds of what feels like a past lifetime since career switch years ago. Good comedic timing.
“And the nausea, do we got anything for that? Ya know what? Never mind, ill just give her some thalidomide”
I hope they repeat story often enough, I even heard it as a vet student
😱 omg... Crazy
Yeah, I was a little concerned when he said there were meds for that. I remember when ondansetron/Zofran was being given out like candy o pregnant women, but just heard in recent years that it, too, has been associated with birth defects. B6 and ginger would surely be fine, though.
"It may not be good news" I love that she considered that ❣
"Not always good news" is so true. Even if there was no trauma that led to the pregnancy, some of us are (in medical terms) "habitual aborters" who really counted on birth control to prevent more miscarriages. You may have "done everything right" and get to suffer another miscarriage anyway.
My Mother is an OBGYN and she always complains about "stupid calls" coming home from work 🤣
Like you try to get someone to do their job but ….’ I’ll just come down & talk to her …’
The “I knew it” is So Happy I can’t even 👌🏻😂
What's the pregnancy dose for ginger😂😂👌
💀
Ed Sheeran is the right pregnancy dose for ginger.
I ate so much ginger when I was pregnant that just the smell now makes me gag. Peppermint was better. Thank God for Altoids!
Thank you for this one - Pregnancy is either ignored or dealt with so bizarrely by so many non-OB's. Whyyyyyyyyy?
Lol only one of my Med school guy friends went into OB, now every single one of us calls him for literally everything he just said 🤦♂️😂
Every time Dr Jennifer is on screen her audio has this high pitched ring/buzz to it and I can't help but imagine a patient is flat-lined during this interaction 😂
Me who has reoccurring nausea and hasn't had sex in 3 years taking my 6th pregnancy test because doctors want an easy-out to a complicated problem. 😅
So true! The ER can literally be calm cool and collected when someone's liver is hanging out of their body....but a baby...HOLY MOLY! They lose their minds!
Hey, ER nurses.....the baby is SUPPOSED to come out...liver's are SUPPOSED to stay inside.
Literally every time I go to the doctor, say I’m gay and don’t need a pregnancy test and they do it anyway then say “ yay you’re not pregnant” like no shit
So funny! I worked in L&D for 30 years and we used to laugh about how fast they would send a pregnant patient that came in the ER to us. Like if they could put them in the pneumatic tube system they would🤣. On the flip side, I’m glad we didn’t deal with broken bones!
Ginger and b6 did nothing for severe nausea 😭 I had to be on both of those plus reglan and zofran every few hours and Benadryl on top of that and weekly iv fluids to stay alive
Bless U 🙏😂
Exactly. No one coming to the ER for it would get relief from supplements.
I feel you! Zofran was the only thing that helped me. Vomiting ginger is terrible. The doctor needs to ask how often the patient vomiting. If it was bad enough to come to the ER, it is probably hyperemesis and ginger and b6 aren’t going to cut it.
@@dianaaugustine5438 I’ve honestly thought I was dying
Your climate videos are always so clear, concise and informative! Thank you for making them so accessible.
Ahh the memories 😂
I remember getting the call “how do I order a pregnancy test?” Granted it’s had been extremely rare to have a woman of child bearing age where I worked at the time, but I was one of only 2 people working in the whole place that did GYN (not even true OB) care. I would have to bring down supplies for exams from my office too until I created a cart and did lots of education 🤦🏻♀️
It’s completely different now (in a positive way).
Where did you work? Geriatrics? Or pediatrics? Lol
@@katrinashostakovich3607 My imagination is running wild! Maybe a military scenario of some kind, depending how long ago it was?
I've been sick for 2 months. Went and seen my Dr. He ran blood work, urinalysis, all the works... But didn't check my HCG levels... Decided to finally take an at home test. 😅 I am pregnant. And my doctor couldn't figure that out 🤦♀️🤦♀️
And all along that was the plan, have OBGYN take the patient lol
🤔😂
If I were in that situation and my doctor told me I was pregnant I would be overjoyed. I want kids. But my body had other ideas. I ended up in the ER for abdominal pain and vomiting several times before finally getting an accurate diagnosis, and I was tested for pregnancy every time because that was always the first possible solution to my problem.
My gall bladder was rotting inside my body for 3 years because "its just pregnancy pain"
But then when my OBGYN cleared me to have the surgery, the actual surgeon didn't want to because she was afraid of harming my 1 week old fetus (as determined by the actual pregnancy test)
Eventually I was permitted to do the surgery, and after i was told "If you didn't get this done, you probably would have died in like 3 days"
Yeah, I WAS pregnant for 3 years 😂 separate pregnancies, obviously 💁🏼♀️
This right here sounds about right which is scary by itself but what’s worse is when the nurses are the ones giving the “doctor” the information.
