    I think a good doctor would provide this explanation to the patient. Be like “Okay, let’s get you fixed up! The medications and techniques we use change if you’re pregnant, so can you tell me when your last period is?” Only takes a second. Doctors should be aware that women often feel ignored and mistreated in a medical context (given the body of literature and studies demonstrating such), so like, they should work to correct that issue. It shouldn’t be difficult to do. It just requires a wee little bit of empathy.
