I’m a sixty-three year old MALE.
If my doctor does a pregnancy test on me, he’ll no longer be my doctor.
I expect, as a minimum, for a medical doctor to know and understand how and why a woman—and women ONLY—gets pregnant. Accept the Science!
One that accepts males can also get pregnant is NOT at all versed in science. What’s next, holes in my skull to release demons? Leeches to suck my blood?
Simply and utterly preposterous!
Just a FYI: I have had occasion over my 40 plus year medical career to order the “pregnancy test”, HCG in men so please don’t abandon your physician if they order this on you. In men and non-pregnant females the HCG serves as a marker for certain malignancies and is used as a tumor marker to follow the course of disease after treatment. Having said that any medical student or professor who is ignorant of the sex differences has no place in medicine !!
If the test is called HCG by physicians I won’t have a problem at all. But if they refer to it as a pregnancy test, and don’t tell me what you just said about the HCG, then yes, I would leave that smart-assed doctor and seek another.
I’m too old to be trifled with.
