Why the emergency dept. ALWAYS gives you a pregnancy test 🙄

Emergency departments often ask patients to take a pregnancy test, even when the visit seems unrelated. The short clip from Mama Doctor Jones explains that there is a medical reason for this routine step, which can feel unnecessary to patients. The clip references the HBO series The Pitt, and the source is credited as Mama Doctor Jones.

I know it often feels unnecessary, but there's a good reason you have to take a pregnancy test basically every time you show up to an emergency department... #thepitt #hbo #pregnancy #pregnancytest
