Fesshole 🧻I'm a married woman. I don't embarrass easily, but I've discovered recently that there's nothing more mortifying than not having to do a pregnancy test before a hospital procedure because you haven't had sex in ages.
Dr Alice Violett@fesshole at... at least they believe you and don't treat you like an idiot and keep going 'but are you SURE?!'/make you do one anyway?
Mans R@alicemcalicepants @fesshole People lie about much more mundane things, and when the consequences are potentially severe, it's better to be extra careful. I wouldn't take it personally. It's like when bar staff demand ID from everybody, even if they are obviously at least 60.

Where does the latter happen? Never heard about that one (I believe you! It's just not a thing where I live).
HappyCrow13@mansr @alicemcalicepants @fesshole
That's mostly because it's a legal thing and it's easier to id everyone. Single someone out, people think they're being picked on. Don't ID and it's an ALE officer? There goes your job possibly.
Some places are stricter about it than others, really depends on where you're at and what you're getting
@HappyCrow13 @alicemcalicepants @fesshole If getting caught by a licensing officer seems bad, try a medical malpractice suit.
@mansr @alicemcalicepants @fesshole
Doctors have lawyers to help them get out of it. I'm just going to jail. At the very least I lose my job and pay a big fine.
Doctors can go back to doctoring. I'm sure we've all heard those stories, doctors with many suits against them still getting jobs.
