Funny story, obviously I told the doc that I was a lesbian and had been with my partner 13 years. He still insisted on a pregnancy test before the biopsy. I told him that he had obviously skipped a class in med school if he thought two women could make a child on their own, especially when one of them has already had a hysterectomy :-) I don't think he thought I was funny.
That is funny. It's also really wasteful and frustrating. I'm a lawyer, so I get the CYA, but come on. When a woman who is either sexually inactive or is sexually active with another women states that she is not pregnant, why not just take them at their word? IMO, it's absurd.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
