I already changed my primary care physician to another doctor in the same office because she wouldn't giveme Plan B. Her (yes, her) suggestion was I should go to the ER. I'm sorry, I'm not fucking going to the ER to get emergency contraception, that's a bunch of bullshit! There are more important things for them to do at the god damn emergency room!
I waited a few more minutes and there was a doctor on the afternoon shift who did it for me. One of the things she said was, "It's good that you came in to take care of this now so you won't have to do it later." Regardless of her own personal feelings about anything, my health is the first thing on my mind. Thank you Dr Goheen. <3
Good for your physician! She's doing her job. The person who denied you them should be fired. The only ethical leg she would have had to stand upon would have been if she suspected you of being a couple months pregnant. Either way, it would have been her responsibility to test if she thought that this was the case. (Basically if she thought you were using the Plan B as a cheap abortion.) By doing so, you would have put your own life in danger, and it is her sworn duty to make sure that she does not harm you by allowing you to have the Plan B.
However, this is clearly not what happened. Fuck her and her unchecked self-righteousness. If you don't like it, don't work someplace you're going to have to dole it out.
No one else in the office seemed to have any issue with it. They were just all like, "Oh good girl for coming in so quickly!", because it has 72 hour effectiveness.
