A Birmingham man was left "flabbergasted" after a hospital told him he was pregnant - and could be expecting twins.
Hilton Plettell received a letter inviting him for a scan at the ante-natal department of Norfolk and Norwich University NHS Hospital, to find out how far pregnant he was.
The 50-year-old merchandising manager was asked to attend with a full bladder - standard practice for ultrasound scans - and told that "sometimes it can show twins".

Gay guy walks into a doctor’s office and says “Doctor, I think I’m pregnant.” The doctor laughs and asks him “OK, who the father?” The guy tells him “whadda think, I got eyes in the back of my head?”

Something here doesnt add up. Isnt age 50 kind of old for this guy to be getting pregnant? It helps if you read the article before posting.

It helps if you read the article before posting. You mean he was actually younger?

The blunder comes 20 years after Mr Plettell had treatment for kidney stones at the East Anglia hospital - where a senior nurse has now issued him an apology. She blamed a clerical error and promised to improve procedures in the future.So it takes 20 years to communicate with a patient and then it's regarding the wrong diagnosis? Oh that's just great.

Under Obamacare, the second scan would not be covered, so he’d be expected to pay triple premiums from then on: for him and the expected twins.
