Im a little baffeled that he did not ask her about wanting to have children but made the assumption based on her age. Could have well been that she would have much rather had them taken out than risk complications and such. I just wish that in a real life situation the patient would be consulted.

[@hyewire]

they couldnt consult her she was dying

[@SheryAwan123]

Actually damage can be permanent there is no solution except to remove it

[@angelicasmodel]

@@hyewire she was able to speak when they initially discussed it. At least keep her in the loop, so they can make decisions based on her actual wishes. Some women are ready to get their tubes tied at 25. She could have been one of them.

[@riabridges1277]

@@angelicasmodel My experience with doctors, they wouldn't have listened anyway. I had a uterine tumour that was growing so fast it was outstripping its own blood supply. I was bleeding so heavily and so often that I ended up anemic enough to develop a heart murmur. I had repeatedly said that I do not want kids, have never wanted kids, so please do surgery to remove the tumour, and my uterus, if need be. My GYN refused for months, on the grounds that "surgery might affect [my] ability to have kids some day." My GP backed her up on this. Meanwhile, I was getting sicker, and if an ER doc hadn't been able to feel the tumour through my stomach and admitted me to the hospital, effectively forcing everyone's hand, I would have continued to get sicker while a bunch of doctors remained so obsessed with the babies I didn't want that they refused to actually help their actual patient. So yeah, while it's frustrating as heck to watch this clip and see a TV doc go, "Oh no, I won't do the only thing that makes sense to me because future babies, even though I didn't ask about babies at all," it makes way too much sense to me that this would really happen.

[@ariellamarsden5133]

I mean this is the same character that ignored a DNR because he apparently knew better than the patient that she wanted to enter a clinical trial

[@cloudstone123]

His reservation about removing her ovaries at first was that she was only 30 and she might not be able to have kids. So, why not ask her about it?

[@edgar-owenbrown5849]

Yeah exactly!

[@heathersteel1002]

the doctors were discussing options and they she siezed and it became an emergency before they could ask the patient.

[@MorganVsTheInternet]

Because the imaginary future children are more important than her comfort and life. It's the same reason drs don't let women get their tubes tied “in case they might want kids”

[@nikdozajimavy1277]

@@MorganVsTheInternet Actually, her condition was rapidly deteriorating, so they could't ask her (the show is set in some sort of emergency unit, so the span of this happening needs to be short, otherwise she would have been transferred to another unit). Also about the "they might want to have kids" thing, Americans sue for tiniest things, so it's more like "so I don't get sued if she changes her mind".

[@stephanierobinson3860]

@@MorganVsTheInternet yeah they refused me when i was 19 even though i didnt want to have kids and had never wanted kids and then i accidently ended up pregnant when i was 21 i kept my son and he is now almost 4 and i still dont want to have anymore kids but they are still refusing to give me it incase i want more kids so im left confused trying to figure out where the doctors are getting their logic from

[@gracecalis5421]

Lmfao at the medical student. She absolutely refuses to play her part in a Drama show, she's just there to do her job as a med student. It actually kind of grounds the show in a way since most people would act just like her; reality isn't a TV show, after all.

[@Ellie_the_idiot]

I’m so pissed at this episode, they should’ve just asked her if she wanted her ovaries removed. Not all women want to have children, or biological children. I may want a child but I’m not bringing one into this world so I’d adopt one.

[@nikdozajimavy1277]

She went from lucid and functional to slurring and barely concious to seizing in what seems to be a span of hours. I doubt she would be able to consent at that point (or even be concious enough to notice she's being talked to) and that's the same notion the screenwriters seem to be using here

[@Ellie_the_idiot]

@@nikdozajimavy1277 yeah, but at the point when they were talking about removing her ovaries when she was still lucid and could very well make that choice. Hell, I’ve seen person consent to surgery(life threatening surgery at that)a few seconds before going into a manic episode so I don’t think that this would have been a problem foe the writers to put in the show. Either way, i still think they should’ve at least had something that showed the women having her own thoughts on the matter because if it were up to me, I’d rather be alive and not be able to have biological children than be dead

[@tmalaklaryka]

So do I, if i ever decide to have kids I'll adopt before even consider have one of my own. but i am childfree so i hardly se it happen but still, adoption before giving birth.

[@PatriciaXara]

Not being able to have children is not the only problem. I don't wan't to have children but I don't want a premature menopause. I had a teacher that had her ovaries removed when she was in her thirties, to prevent some medical problem that wasn't urgent. She regretted it because she had bad menopause symptoms since then.

[@Ellie_the_idiot]

@@PatriciaXara that’s a very good point, if it wasn’t urgent I’d probably not do it just in case of a bad menopause. I do feel that the situation in the show was a bit different. I wouldn’t have blamed the women if she choose not to remove her ovaries, but I’m more focused on the part that she actually has a choice to begin with and that she knows what’s going on.

[@krisej31]

All I've seen is this clip and there was zero conversation with the pt about removing her ovaries. Imagine waking up and finding out both your ovaries were removed because a dr had a hunch? Regardless if he was right, that would be very difficult for someone to process

[@craftybake5481]

The dr would get sued in real life.

[@OliviaN.Preston]

She seized and they took her up for surgery cause they thought she was going to die. There was no time to ask her, plus she was unconscious. She had no legal guardian with her so it was the doctor's call.

[@pennyinheaven]

Also imagine having a seizure and neurological dysfunction but still not addressed because they couldn't get a definitive scan of the teratoma. Wait, that is if she was still alive by the time they confirm it before undergoing surgery.

[@SjofnBM1989]

I mean if they didn't do it she wouldn't have woken up at all.....cuz she'd be dead

There is always room for adoption. Many children don’t have families. I don’t think blood defines who family is.

[@Galastel]

It's so weird to hear Americans talk of adoption like it's about as complicated as buying a carton of milk. Where I live, a couple can wait 5-7 years for a child to become available for adoption. That's after they go through the vetting process. And adopting more than one child just isn't on the table.

[@vermilion6966]

@@Galastel Its not easy in any country, but what the fk is your point? a child is a child. if you want to adopt and have the means, you will do it. theres also foster care in america (and many other countries), which requires a lot less hastle

"She's only 30, i do this and she can never have kids again" "That was the toughest call I ever had to make..."

bro what if she didnt want kids. give her the option???? no need to put her life on the line bc you think all women want kids bruh

[@amy-joannedavies7349]

He couldn't ask her because her brain was under influence and even if she didn't people change their minds. He did the only thing a decent doctor could in that situation

[@adventurouspeach]

She shouldn’t be given the option in these circumstances And doctors should fight to keep organs or limbs up until the point when it is no longer an option It’s a big deal And it’s not sexist… there’s a big difference between not wanting kids and not being able to have them In my experience people who didn’t even want kids are still often devastated when they unexpectedly find out that they can no longer have them *edited for inclusivity

[@SkaterBlades]

Actually no a doctor should exhaust all possibilities before presenting a patient with an idea as terrifying as removing a body part. No need to put a patients life on the line to save their leg because you think all people want to walk everywhere bruh. Removing a body part, even if you're not planning on using it is extremely risky and daunting, I'm gay, I'll never get a woman pregnant but i was terrified at the thought of losing a testicle during a medical emergency. She'd get the option as a last resort, as it should be

[@caitswildecake2582]

I heard that certain women, depending on their state, has to get written permission from her husband just to have her tubes tied

[@isasantos8577]
