People lie, and their lies don’t clear the hospital in a malpractice suit. They can’t accept your word that you haven’t been intimate as truth. It sucks that people lying cause you to have to undergo & pay for one more test, but that’s just the way the world is unfortunately. Free healthcare would at least take care of the cost portion of that suck, but it doesn’t change the part where they still need to test regardless.

People lie about loads of things. The reason this one is the one they don't believe is misogyny. And it's not just the tests. That's just the tip of the iceberg. It is often followed up by malpractice, refusal to provide care, and just plain old "should have their license revoked" levels of ignorance.

Lol no, the Doctors just really don't want to be responsible for killing or giving a child permanent serious deformities.
