Who on earth are those 1.7% men who go for "obstetric and gynaecological devices"?

Are they accompanying their wives, end up fainting during the procedures, hit their heads and have to be patched up?

Babies. 8% of the patients under that category are Age 0

Edit: the full billing code is "Obstetric and gynaecological devices associated with adverse incidents" Billing code Y76 "describes the circumstance causing an injury, not the nature of the injury."

So injuring a baby during delivery with forceps would result in this code.

They might be trans.
That's also my guess, and specifically: if you're a trans man with a uterus, odds are high that you'd like to get it removed. Therefore hysterectomy, therefore hospital.
Who the hell flagged my comment?

Trans people exist and are people too.
