A 26-year-old woman has shared her experience with a nurse who gave unsolicited opinions about her desire to get her tubes tied. The woman had called to set up an appointment to talk about getting her tubes tied, but the nurse asked her if she was trying to set up an appointment to change her IUD and proceeded to tell her that they don't like doing these procedures on people her age, among other things.

The woman got annoyed and told the nurse that she only needed her help setting up an appointment and that if she wanted her opinion on her body and future, she would ask for it. Do you think the woman was out of line or was the nurse in the wrong?

Woman faces nurse's unsolicited opinions about getting tubes tied 🙅‍♀️

A woman shares her experience about trying to set up an appointment to talk about getting her tubes tied. The nurse who called her was not very supportive and gave her unsolicited opinions about it. She tried to persuade the woman by saying that she might want to give a baby to her future partner, or end up old with no one to take care of her.

The woman got annoyed by her comments and told her off for giving her opinion without being asked. Her male friend who was present at the time thinks she was rude to the nurse, but she doesn't think so.

She plans to report the nurse who was not supportive. Read on to see whether she was in the wrong or not in this situation.
