Carter informs a young woman that it's possible to get pregnant even without actual penetration, and just by fooling around. His patient, very certain, tells him, "I'm not pregnant." Carter adds, "It's very important that you tell me any reason you think you might be pregnant." "No reason," the patient replies. Carter soldiers on: "Because if you are pregnant, you might have what we call an ectopic pregnancy, in which case you'd have to be operated on right away. It's very serious. It could be a matter of life and death, and I'm not exaggerating." "I'm not pregnant," the patient says again. Carter nods, and excuses himself. I think she's pregnant. I know, I know, but hear me out!
