Choiciness

Haven't seen this yet floating around my F-list. I saw it at Pharyngula, though the site he linked to was down for a while, but is now back.

Nurse: I personally do not like IUDs. I feel they are a type of abortion.
Patient: Yeah, whatever. Can you shorten the strings on my IUD for greater comfort?
Nurse: Um, suuure.
Patient: [feels a distinct pulling on the strings followed by a sharp pain in her uterus similar to a very strong menstrual cramp.] OW!
Nurse: Uh oh, I accidentally pulled out your IUD! Everyone in the office always laughs and tells me I pull these out on purpose because I am against them, but it's not true, they accidentally come out when I tug.
Patient: Put it back in. Or preferably a new one.
Nurse: No.
Patient: WTF.

The first thought that came to mind, actually, was all the forced sterilizations of Native American women. That alone makes me angry enough to start shaking. Then it turns out this happened in New Mexico. No info on the patient, of course. But still a REALLY high concentration of Native Americans in that state.


Gah. That's assault. And, I dunno, criminal malpractice. Professional abuse. GAH.
