FAIRFIELD, Ohio, April 17 (UPI) -- Authorities in Butler County, Ohio, said a team of paramedics was shocked upon discovering a patient who appeared to be pregnant was actually a man.

Police reports said the patient, who did not speak much English, was picked up by a Fairfield Township Life Squad at a Speedway gas station and the paramedics believed the patient to be a woman far along in her pregnancy, The Fairfield (Ohio) Echo reported Thursday.

However, when they lifted the patient's clothing to check for signs of crowning, they instead found irrefutable evidence of the patient's masculinity.

The report said the man, who gave his name as "Mayra," later said he was depressed and "just wanted to go the hospital."
