A Tennessee woman visited her doctor after experiencing severe lower back pain — but left her doctor’s visit with a rather peculiar diagnosis.

Terry Ragland says that after a thorough examination, her doctor suggested her back pain was the result of her “ghetto booty.”

“I said, ‘ghetto what?’ He said, ‘ghetto booty,'” Ragland told KHOU. “He said there’s no cure for it but I can probably give you something if you were having pain.”

The doctor, Dr. Timothy Sweo, has admitted to using the term, explaining that it was his way of casually explaining that Ragland had a curve in her spine, causing her buttocks to stick out further.

According to KHOU, Ragland had filed a complaint with the state.
