Is it just me or has the medical expertise in this country gone down somewhat in recent years? (assuming here that you're also from the jolly UK)

I was misdiagnosed as pregnant at the tender age of 13. Not having done any of the things required to get pregnant, I was more than a little confused. Turned out that I had a chest infection....

7 years on, I am now pregnant but my GP seems to forget this every time I visit him. Also whenever the nurse takes a blood sample she always has to twist the needle while it's in me and I always come away with a fair amount of bruising :/

Maybe THIS is the reason for our huge teenage pregnancy rates
GPs that can't distinguish phlegm from sperm...

And on an aside ...
did you read the tags to the right of that story 'Jacko's doctor donated sperm', 'Fifty Taliban wiped out'.
Presumably these are not related stories.

There was a girl at my school who couldn't tell them apart...
Needless to say, she was popular with the boys.
