Some Doctors have a tendency to accuse women of being pregnant and that being the cause of their problems without ever investigating further. Regardless of what the problem is. Pregnancy tests are pretty common for women going to see the doctor, it’s a routine to ensure they’re not pregnant before prescribing most medication or ordering imaging. That’s not something the doctor would ask for a gunshot wound to the arm. The nurse would collect a urine sample after the doctor has already left.
Most women know whether or not they could possibly be pregnant.
I only found out about a pregnancy when I went to a doctor for an unrelated illness. It was so early that I hadn’t even missed a period yet. When they asked if I wanted a pregnancy test, I was like, “Eh sure, why not.” Didn’t think anything of it, and I was shocked when it came back positive.
But yeah, I figure most women will know whether they might be pregnant or not. I just happened to be within that slim window of time where the only tell was that my brain was in a fog so bad that I couldn’t think an entire sentence through. Naturally, I’d first attributed that to the illness. But now I know what “baby brain” feels like, and damn, hats off to those who stick it out all 9 months. I don’t think I’d be able to function like that.
Asking is free, pregnancy tests aren’t covered and costs the client.
Your clinic is lining their pockets.
There’s plenty of documented cases of women giving birth unknown in a toilet. I’m not ignoring your side, so don’t ignore the other.
But you also must realize that asking if a women is pregnant isn’t politically correct as well, can be considered discriminatory and doctors have been sued for less.

What a horrifically ignorant and uninformed hot take.
