Does your husband know

[andrewsgal]

Where women get mammograms? One of the arguments I have seen over and over against PP lately was "they don't even provide mammograms so can't be a healthcare center" No dumbass they don't neither do most OBs you go to a radiology clinic for that. Anyway it I asked DH and he had no clue you didn't get them from an OB. I kind of thought this was common knowledge.

I doubt my H would know, either off the top of his head. But if he thought about it seriously, I'm sure he could surmise it.

This is mine as well. If asked, he would probably blank on it for a moment, but figure it out.

[penguingrrl]

Probably not, but then until you just mentioned it I didn't either, so I can't fault him. I'm too young to have needed one yet, so I never thought about where you would go for it. But DH strongly supports PP and understands it's no different than any other OB/GYN's office except that there are assholes camped outside protesting poor women having access to medical care.

I'm not sure.  He saw an ortho doc for his ankle and said "So they have to send me to a different place for x-rays" and my response was 
"No shit".

Considering I didn't even know myself when to start getting mammograms I'm going with no. I turn 33 soon and asked my ob if they started at 35 or 40.

[jnksmom]

Yes he does but he works in the medical field...on the business side but still has knowledge of the medical side.

[CrazyLucky]

I'm not sure if he'd know or not. I haven't had one yet, so I would guess no. I turn 40 next year, so I guess he'll know soon.

[Deleted]

Yes but he works in the healthcare industry so he would know.

[dizzycooks]

I doubt it, but +1 for me because I don't know either.

[auroraloo]

I didn't know either.

This for me as we'll. I've never had one and thought you got them at the OB

[Kcthepouchh8r]

I did know where you get them...solely because I took my mom to hers one year. Otherwise I doubt I would know.

[iheartthe80s]

Yes, because he works in medical. But I'm guessing many think it's just fine at the OB.

[vettymama]

I didn't even know so I doubt it's something he's thought about.

[lala]

I'm not surprised men wouldn't know, but I am surprised so many here didn't know either.

[hocus2]

My husband has no idea where such procedures are done. I'm not sure he even knows exactly what happens in more general terms.

[lala]

Both my mother & grandmother had breast cancer, so maybe that's why I'm more aware. I also see midwives that don't do US in office, either.

[mamaalysson]

I'm sure he has no clue. But he also thinks a vasectomy equals castration, so I wouldn't consider medical knowledge one of his strengths.

I mean, I guess if they did that there would be fewer failed vasectomies....

I have no idea when I even have to start getting mammograms. It's just not something on my radar at all. I sort expect it to come up at an annual appointment with my doctor with directions of where to go.

this exactly. My Gyn will tell me when I need to do it, and tell me where to go, I presume. 

[jcm]

I don't think so but I'm not sure. I had my 1st one this year so I know he now knows it's not done by my ob/gyn but since we've had a baby & he didn't personally do the ultrasounds I would think he would have just figured mammograms we're done in office.

[expectantsteelerfan]

My dh is a radiology resident, so I'd be a bit worried if he didn't...

[ashb62]

I doubt he would know, but I only know because I remember my mom mentioning it when she started getting them.
