are you kidding me?

so I encountered something last night during my visit to the ER...a little background information: I was in a car accident last night(thanks to the wonderful snowy roads) so don't be shocked when you see me, I'm in a neckbrace. ok, but anyways...during my visit to the ER, before they would perform the CT scan they told me they needed to run a pregnancy test first. When I asked them if I could just tell them that there was absolutely no chance that I was pregnant and not have to do the test they told me they couldn't run the CT scan until they ran the test. Well, to say the least I was a little bothered. Why can't they just take my word for it? Why do they have to run a test that is not necessary? Why do they have to charge me(or rather my insurance) so much for me to pee in a cup and then for them to dip a stick in it just to tell them something I could have already told them without the test? Why is it that they assume all girls(or even all people) sleep around? well, thats my thoughts on my most recent experience with a form of a gender issue.
