    The real joke would be if she was indeed pregnant, and now her actual emergency gets sent to the obgyn department. My wife loves it when the ER don’t want to do their job because baby on board.

      Pregnancy and infants for that matter need specialists, it is what it is. It’s like complaining that a general practitioner can’t do a colon bypass.

      Sure, they learned the theory, butt

        Right. And a GP knows when they can treat something or when they need to send you to the specialist.
        The issue (at least in my wife’s hospital) is ER docs seeing pregnant and immediately throwing the case next door, instead of following the proper protocols.

        OP’s comic is just a patient not seeing the relevance, but the situation is as frustrating (from her point of view) because it appears that some professionals see a patient with a vagina and immediately forget everything else.
