You think that's related?

Nurse K: So, you have low belly pain. When did that start?

Patient: Oh, about a month ago.

Nurse K: Has it been going on for the whole month?

Patient: Yeah, but it's worse today.

Nurse K: Ever been seen by a doctor for it?

Patient: No, not really.

Nurse: How does your pain feel?

Patient: [Calmly] Like someone is tearing my insides out.

Nurse K: Vaginal bleeding or discharge?

Patient: Well, I had vaginal bleeding after my c-section a month ago, but none now.

Nurse K: You had a c-section a month ago??

Patient: Yeah.

Nurse K: So the pain is RIGHT OVER YOUR C-SECTION INCISION?

Patient: I guess; you think it's related to that?

Jesus H. Christ.

How about, "I'm bleeding from my vagina." When you ask when their last period was, it turns out that they are oh, about a month post-partum. "Do you think this is your period?" I always ask.

"No," they always say. "This is different."

If you had a person living in your uterus for nine months and then pushed said person out, don't you think your next period would be a little different?
