It's not even clear from this story if the doctor was a man or a woman. If it took place in an emergency room, I imagine the doctor had more to worry about than the sexual orientation of everyone present. I'm pretty sure they haven't added that question to hospital admittance forms yet.
yeah... there's nothing wrong with making sure when in the medical field. In fact... I kinda would hope that you would make sure if you were a doctor. Its a perfectly rational question.
Great comeback, but don't be too hard on the doctor.
90% of people are hetero. If you haven't told the doctor you are gay, he/she will think sexually active means with the opposite sex.
You get a few women who are sexually active with men, and don't use contraceptives, and don't think they could be pregnant... but are.
Doctors can need to press on the question of pregnancy, as some diagnostic tests and treatments can be very harmful to a foetus. Because of this, in some places, ER treatment for all pre-menopausal women includes a pregnancy test - including nuns, self-proclaimed virgins, and girls from 12 up.
I love how people resort to attacking other people's grammar and spelling when they have little else to say. It's especially funny when that person's grammar isn't perfect either!
How is that a dumb question? Many women are pregnant right now and don't know it. Ladies, this is why it's important to take multivitamins with folic acid. Which is the moral of the story I think. Well good, we got that news out.
heterosexist is such a damn annoying term. ironic who's tossing labels about now, eh? yes, we all ought to walk around with the needs of 10% of us at the forefront of our mind at all times.
10%? Technically, yes. But the concentration is not even. There are cities, areas, and social circles (not even ones necessarily focused around homosexuals) that seem to be completely populated with them, and then it seems like it's more than 10% and their needs are a bit more prominent.
maybe I missed something but I can't see any picture here. What is everyone saying is photoshopped? and Gauguin it says who's saying what. The patient is gay not the doctor.
Let me explain to all you complete idiots. It is not supposed to be a stupid question, it is merely supposed to be a funny overheard conversation. If you don't get why it is funny, please don't reproduce.
Also, people are making references to things being photoshopped because they think everyone elses' comments are stupid, much like the comments on photo blogs that rant on about how everything was photoshopped.
Christ I'm glad I moved away from Athens.
Can't you just say it's a funny answer and not have all this arguement about whether the question is stupid? It's just a joke, buy a sense of humor, I hear they go cheep on ebay.
