(1) What sex was assigned to you at birth?
(2) What sex do you identify as?
(3) Are you LGBT, etc. or Straight?

  Answers:
  1. My mommy said the assignment office was closed that day.
  2. I don't know. I haven't been assigned yet.
  3. I tried to rearrange LGBT and could not get it to spell BENT. Was there a definition change?
  
  Just thinking out loud.

    Part of the medical crap I had to fill out had check boxes for race/ethnicity. Although nearly every country in South America and Africa was represented, there were no boxes for Irish, Scottish, German, French, or even European. Oh yeah, there was no "None of the above" box, either. I left it blank - F them!

        Hmmm, can't recall one. Next time I'll pay closer attention and get back to you.

What a sad commentary on our society that these kinds of questions need to be asked. But ... from the hospital's point of view, unfortunately these questions DO need to be asked, and at least they ARE asking, rather than assuming things at face value.

Hope you get good news on your knee and they are able to do something to help you!

I don't think I wanna go have that MRI on my knee but it hurts so bad I really need it. The doctor thinks I have a fracture and I'm walking around on.
