Omg, they are NOT always pregnant. My 16 year old virgin sister was turned away from the ER because she refused to let them give her an ultrasound to check for pregnancy when she showed up with abdominal pain.
@cryscross It is a requirement for them to do it. You would not believe how many people lie or think protection is 100 percent fool proof. They HAVE to do it to be sure.

There's also the chance of cysts on her ovaries or uterus, doing that ultrasound would help them spot it. It isn't JUST for pregnancy. Ultrasounds help them see a lot.
Yeah, its the simplest and fastest way to check what is going on in the abdomen. Seriously, your parents, or whoever took her, should be smacked for not realizing that.
BTW, they would do a basic blood/urine test to check for pregnanc first, not a ultrasound, ultrasounds are used to determine how far along, ect.
Yeah. I almost had to have one for an cyst on my ovary. Luckily the pain didn't persist and went away on its own.

Ultrasounds help with a lot and its pretty cool.
We get bullshit like this a lot in my er. Patients will refuse all tests sometimes, and wonder why we have to discharge them. There's literally nothing we can do unless we know what's going on with you.
I went into a diabetic patient's room. She was in the hospital with a Dialysis machine in her room and already had part of her food amputated. She didn't want to do therapy because she was eaiting cheetos (machine was on)
My mom works in the ER, and comes home with some pretty ridiculous stories. Also an EMT I know once got called out in an ambulance because someone cut their fingernail too short and it hurt.

My friend once worked in the ER and told me that this one newlywed couple came in because they got a towel stuck in the wife's vagina
