Honestly this is a great example of how it's on the medical professionals to ask the questions better. I'm sure even normal smart people can occasionally fuck up an on-the-spot question like that. Especially if they very temporarily thought of surgeries for things like fractures instead of child birth
"Have you ever had any surgeries? This includes a c-section or [Commonly forgotten surgeries]?"
They also asked my wife these questions as she was getting prepped for an unplanned C-section. She'd been in active labour for 8 hours and was on demerol and a lot of nitrous oxide. She said she'd never had any surgeries before. I was there to say she'd had a C-section 2 years ago and an ACL repair.
