Cause For Pregnant Pause, Part 5
PHARMACY | RIGHT | NOVEMBER 19, 2013
(I’m a pharmacist, and one day at work, a young woman comes up to the counter to pick up a script. I notice she is wearing one of those insertable birth control rings around her wrist.)
Me: “Ma’am, you know that’s not how those work, right?”
Customer: “Huh?”
Me: “Your birth control ring. Those are meant to be worn… you know… internally.”
Customer: “Oh, shoot, really? I… I didn’t know that. Excuse me.”
(She walks away and returns with a pregnancy test, clearly worried and very embarrassed.)
Customer: “I guess I’ll be needing this, too.”
