    It’s not pertinent when treating a wound like in the comic.

    A pregnancy isn’t more important than saving the life of the person with the wound.

    Doctors already know how much blood people (it’s not just women that have periods by the way) tend to lose during menstrual cycles.

      Ya but that wasn’t asked in the comic, it was asked in the comment I’m referring to. I’m aware it wouldn’t be relevant to a wound, but during a normal physical it would seem a routine question.

        Like, for a gunshot wound, they’re going to stabilize you as best they can and then it’s going to be a bunch of bandages and bed rest. “Hey, have you lost a much of blood due to a recent period?” isn’t even an unreasonable question to ask.
