Stupid People Rant.

in Pregnant after a Loss
As a lot of you know I work at an urgent care in a huge college town, so needless to say I encounter the (no offense on the stereotypes) valley-girl / surfer-guy / in general young-minded dingbats daily. Also, there are older people who are just ridiculous too, so I can't really even blame the stupidity on the younger population.

Anyways, yesterday was one of the most OMFG moments I've had in a while. I check-in a patient, she's telling me what she's being seen for (cold symptoms), I have to ask about LMP. She answers & comments she only knows because they are ttgp. Out of nowhere she then proceeds to ask me about clomid and if the docs at my work would prescribe it. She goes on saying she really wants twins and from her interwebz research she has learned that clomid has a higher chance of multiples. She has even looked into ordering it online from a different country. SAYYYYY WHHAAAAAT?!?!?!?!?! 

I calmly looked at her and told her that our docs would not prescribe this medication and her best bet would be an ob. I then let her know that clomid is dangerous and common side effects include cysts and permanently thinning your uterine lining. She just looked at me like I was nuts, then she says something along the lines of, OMG are you serious - I didn't know that?   No shit you didn't know that, otherwise you wouldn't be considering ordering this medication off the interwebz. dumbass.  

The kicker, she was like 31.  SMH.

anybody else have any recent people-encounters they need to bitch about?

    WOW...as someone who had to be on Clomid to get (and stay) pregnant, this chick has no idea what she is asking for. I seriously hope you gave her something to think about and she doesn't try to self medicate. That is so scary.

    I didn't meet her but someone posted this in the FB page. Be careful, it is about abortion so if you are sensitive to this matter don't open the link, please. But this is by far the dumbest, craziest thing I have read/heard in my life. I don't normally wish bad things to happen to people, but this woman should go jail for this at least. I swear it should be a special horrible place to put all this people together....

    @voplo I saw that pop up on my facebook too, and I'm just in shock.  I am completely dumbfounded by people's priorities... that poor little baby, who has no choice in the matter, is going to be aborted so his/her mommy can have a pink range rover and a tv career :-O

    People are nuts, and thinking that she can just walk into urgent care and walk out with a Rx for Clomid is crazy, but not as crazy as trying to order it online and self medicate!  I've never had to take Clomid (thankfully) but a few of my friends did and both ended up with twins; however, using Clomid was a last resort because of the possible side effects.  And this crazy lady wants to go on it just to help her chances of having multiples?!  Cray cray...

    This one came from one of the Drs at my NST appointments:
    She was talking about how hot the summers are in our city and how I'm lucky I'll have this baby before it really heats up. Then she says that when she decides to have children she will have plan her pregnancies so she's not pregnant during the hot summer. As someone who has had multiple losses, all I could think was "yeah, good luck with that".
