Not how you use birth control

  • We got some great stories today from physicians who spoke on health literacy; here is one.
  • Dr. B: Do you think there is any chance that a pregnancy could be causing these symptoms?
  • Patient: Oh no! We use birth control so I shouldn't be pregnant.
  • Dr. B: (after getting the positive pregnancy test back) So it appears that you are pregnant. Can you explain what kind of birth control you are on and how you take it?
  • Patient: Oh, I don't take it. It made me feel weird so my boyfriend has been taking it instead.
  • Dr. B: That explains a lot....
