I really hate the question, 'Could you possible be pregnant?' especially after I just finished telling them that I had cervical cancer and during the hysterectomy the dr nicked my bowels. I feel like saying, YES! there is a miniscule chance in fucking hell that I could be pregnant after a radical hysterectomy, salpingdectomy, and oopherendectomy; however, I am very polite and simply repond with a quiet no... :(

When i went through my numerous operations and the pre-op questions they always asked me if I could be pregnant. No, I told them I had radiation and was sterilized. No matter...I had to pee in a cup and do a pregnancy test for them. Standard Practice on any woman under the age of 50. After 50 they believed you. I wonder what the cost to the hospital was of all those useless pregnancy tests?
