Sexually Active?

I love to tell this story, I only wish it was truly mine. A team member of mine was going through the clinical phase of the paramedic course and had the privilege of stumbling onto this gem. I'll set the stage. Metro EMS service, very urban area, not smart patients. They are called for female with abdominal pain. First question being, "ma'am are you or could you be pregnant?" She answers "no, I couldn't possibly be pregnant." "Well are you sexually active?" After a little thought her response was "No, I mostly just lay there." Priceless.
