Ughhh seriously. Doctor: Yeah, this is actually all in your head. That's going to be a $1500 copay, and also screw you. For women it's even worse Doctor: hmmm classic hysteria, have you tried taking a midol and going to therapy? Also, that's going to be a $1500 copay and a $200 pregnancy test.

To all women who may read this:

When you get any surgery done, the medical staff will ask you if there "is any possibility that you might be pregnant". If you say no and they still bill you for a pregnancy test, dispute it. Unless you're lying, which you're probably not.

They tack this onto everything, even if you've had a hysterectomy.

This right here everyone ☝️☝️ I only wish I knew this when I was younger, soooo many bills and visits later.
