Yes but this is ignoring the implied context of the doctor not paying attention to what was being said and instead immediately assumes that the woman is “being emotional because of her period”, which unfortunately is an all too common issue that women have to deal with.

Don’t certain medications interfere with your hormones? Doesn’t a period change your hormone balance?
Asking when someone’s last period was in the process of a diagnosis seems reasonable.

Until medication is given and a potential fetus is damaged and everyone is crying how doctors could miss such obvious things

Yeah definitely better to force women on an individual level to give up private information despite no relation to the ailment that brought them in.

…are you referring to menstrual cycles as current events?
What current events are you talking about?
