"Having practised as a gynaecologist for over 15 years, I held a prejudice towards unmarried and sexually active patients. Though I provided them with the same standard of care as my other patients, I must admit that I wasn’t completely judgment-free towards them.
(2/9)
However,things began to shift drastically when I saw a patient in my clinic who came with complaints of unusually heavy bleeding.After much probing, she told me that she had consumed 30 tablets of the emergency contraceptive pill to abort her pregnancy as she was unmarried.
(3/9)
Perplexed, I asked her why she didn’t visit me or any other gynaecologist before consuming the tablets. She said she didn’t dare to do so as she had previously felt humiliated at a gynaecologist’s clinic, for they shamed her about being sexually active and unmarried.
