Pregnant Patient Further Shocked When Told NuvaRing Not Meant to Be Worn on Finger

MOBILE, AL – Fighting back tears at a press conference last Saturday, Lisa Marie Bamberger told reporters she was “stunned with disbelief” in regards to a recent emergency room visit in which she was informed she was pregnant.

But, according to Bamberger, that wasn’t the biggest bombshell she received that day.

Lisa said she originally went to the emergency room because of vomiting and stomach pain one morning, when she was given her lab results.

“When the doctor told me I was pregnant, I said there’s just no way, I have that NuvaRing, I told her.  Then I showed her my finger and she kind of stared at me for a second before she and the nurse started laughing really hard,” explained the 20-year-old expecting mother and recent college dropout.

Bamberger, whose public high-school sex education consisted solely of an abstinence-only curriculum, as mandated by the state, said she had no idea that the NuvaRing was not meant to be worn on her finger.

“I got the Nuva-thing because my regular doctor said it would be free and I wouldn’t need to take pills anymore so I picked it up and it said ring on the box so I put it on my finger like a ring,” said Lisa in regards to the combined estrogen-progestin contraceptive vaginal ring used by nearly 2 million women worldwide.

At press time, Bamberger was seen leaving the hospital premises in a loud pickup truck with multiple spare tires, releasing thick black smoke from the exhaust pipe as she drove away.

  1. We are talking about a generation with 24 hr. access to information on how to prevent pregnancy, unfortunately they lack a fully-formed prefrontal cortex.

    But their $400 phones wear protecting… Genitalia, not so much.

  2. People…even educated people…can be dumb. Many years ago, the wife of a neurosurgeon I worked with came in for a liposuction. We asked her if she had anything by mouth since midnight…she, of course replied “No”. 30 minutes after she got to PACU, she vomited up the chicken sandwich she ate at 3AM…

  3. That woman must have had some huge fingers, or put it on her big toe. But this IS Gomerblog, and the story is satire. However, we were treated to stories in pharmacy school about people who took meds incorrectly, and one of them was about a woman on the Pill who got pregnant because she was sticking them up herself.

  4. Sounds like the old urban legend about the lady suing the maker of spermicidal jelly. She put it on her toast every morning and STILL got pregnant.

  5. Why is there still abstinence only sex education in the states when we send ppl to third world countries and teach actual sex ed? I mean really. People need to be informed.

  6. I was told by one of the Pharmacist I worked with that he once had a lady try to renew her birth control a couple a weeks too early. She told him she was out even though she still should of had over a week or two left. She explained she took it every time she had sex.
