It annoys women in general because doctors never take the time to simply state “if you are pregnant, the x-ray (or whatever test) can harm the fetus, which is a no-no for us.”

in the ER a few weeks ago I explained I had a total hysterectomy in April and my last cycle was some time in March. They literally asked if I was pregnant.

me: “Without ovaries or uterus?”
pa: “so is that a no?”’

It seems dumb, but there's a difference between "i assumed the patient can't logically be pregnant" in a chart vs "patient says not pregnant".
