The UK’s National Health Service (NHS) has instructed X-ray operators to ask men if they are pregnant before conducting scans, reportedly prompting patients to “storm out” of appointments in anger over the absurdity of the question.
The so-called “inclusive” guidance was inspired by an incident in which a woman who presented as a man had a CT scan while unknowingly pregnant, thereby exposing her baby to dangerous radiation, The Telegraph reported.
