Pregnancy Testing

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

I try to tell them, “I’m not that kind of girl”, but they just wouldn’t listen.

OK, not really.

I have a lump in my breast which the doctors are quite certain doesn’t “feel like cancer”, but they want to do tests just in case. So they send me off to the lab with a checklist of tests to be performed. As I’m waiting, I notice one of the tests is the pregnancy test. I’m suspecting that since I was being seen at the women’s clinic, they might just have that always checked on their forms. Then again, there could be some odd diagnostic side-effect of a preggers test on men that might apply. Just so long as my insurance doesn’t refuse the charge.
