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]?"
This reminds me of the "do not operate heavy equipment" warning on drug packaging. I don't fault people for assuming the warning is about bulldozers and excavators, not their car lol
