minus-squareTheDoozer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·11 hours agoI imagine they’d want to give her something for the pain, and potential pregnancy might be a factor? I don’t know, I’m not a doctor, and this is a comic.
minus-squarejj4211@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·edit-28 hours agoFor example, give a pregnant woman Tylenol and boom, autistic baby. But seriously, as far as I know, your comment is accurate, a lot of treatment options change when a fetus might be in the situation. If a doctor decided to neglect that possibility and harms a fetus no one was aware of, might get hit with malpractice. Also I know lab results might depend on either the possibility of pregnancy, or just timing of the period itself.
