    To counter with another anecdote, my 55-yo wife never gets asked. When I showed her the comic she didn’t understand it. Being Asian, she has no white hair, wrinkles and hasn’t had a hysterectomy.

    See my other comment about my oh-so-rare doc actually remembering who I am as a patient, even after not seeing me for a year.

      Huh! So all that stuff about “it’s vitally important information for the doctors to know before any treatment” either doesn’t apply to her, or her doctors aren’t competent, or it’s just as bullshit as we always knew. Best of health to her. To you both.
