Bedside manner - part 2

A friend of mine saw a gynecologist for a problem involving one of the ovaries that eventually required surgery. To make a long story short, the gynecologist (who was herself pregnant) told my friend "Your chances of having children are so low (about 10%) that I would not bother trying." My friend was devastated and crying after hearing this. What kind of advice was this?! How does a doctor say that to someone, especially knowing how sensitive that matter is. If someone has a 10% chance of having children, it is still worth trying. Turns out, less than one year later, my friend had two beautiful and healthy children the natural way. It probably goes without saying, but yes, my friend send that doctor a picture of the 2 babies and reprimanded her prior words. At least this story has a good ending.
