Imagine needing medical care but being refused by doctors. Not because they are unable to help or because of financial barriers, but because the doctors are simply unwilling to help you.

That is exactly what happened to Thomas Beatie, also known as the Pregnant Man. Beatie decided to get pregnant and give birth due to his partner's inability to bear children. But he was refused treatment from doctors, going through nine doctors during the course of his pregnancy.
