So, I was at Starbucks today eavesdropping on a group of what I assume where nurses teaching themselves patient English. They were having a discussion on the finer points of this statement:
"The patient is nauseous, she might be pregnant." versus "The patient is nauseous, he might be pregnant."
"The patient is nauseous, she might be pregnant." versus "The patient is nauseous, he might be pregnant."

True, true. Even in Korea-- one just made it to the semi-finals of a modeling/ beauty competition. I don't think transexuality has become so entrenched in the culture that nurses would be worried about properly saying, "He's pregnant." I could be wrong...
