Lovely and brave.

Incredibly beautiful and moving, and she is so lucky to have had the resources (financial, social, political, emotional) to have been able to do that.

Rosemary Kennedy’s brain damage was caused by this crap:

SAME. I could hardly sit before I started taking morphine. I know opiates are frowned upon (by oblivious people without chronic pain), but it’s seriously the ONLY thing that has helped me. If you want to commiserate, I rarely get to talk to people about this! We can be pelvic pain pals.

I work for a medical malpractice law firm and YES - we have MULTIPLE expert MD’s, RN’s, etc. for our cases. We have a doctor on staff who reviews cases to let us know if we should even look into a case. Also, 3 of our lawyers are former RN’s.

Well, one doctor explained that she had one patient get better after giving birth. The other one was just an idiot. I think there are technically people researching this,but vaginas and pain syndromes tend not to get a lot of funding. So vaginal pain syndromes are basically screwed.

There’s always someone who worries more about the bad guys. I wouldn’t want that guy to be my doctor, ever.

She deserves all the money. All of it. Empty Fort Knox, unlock the Federal Reserve, it belongs to her now.

me in real life.

My doctor told me that she might gently hold the baby’s head as it was crowning and tell me not to push for a moment. If she did that, and I followed her instructions, I would likely not tear. She seemed pretty proud of her no tearing and no episiotomy record. She would not have actually PUSHED the baby back in,…

Currently snorting my birth control off of the back of a bar toilet while googling clinics that perform hysterectomies on otherwise healthy 30-year-olds.

Does anyone else on Jezebel have this? Pudendal neuralgia/ vulvodynia/etc? I’ve had it for years and it’s awful. I have ice on my crotch as we speak. Funnily enough, I've had two doctors recommend I get pregnant to see if it makes it better. HAH.

DUDE. ONLY $16 MILLION. SHE NEEDS ONE BAJILLION DOLLARS IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS THE WORST THING I’VE EVER HEARD.

I am newly pregnant with our 1st (after years of trying) and this was exactly the kind of article I should be avoiding.

OMG!! As a pregnant lady this just scares the shit out of me!

No. NO. Why? Literally when in obstetric nursing would you ever PUSH the baby BACK IN?!

I don’t know, I think that’s kind of specious. We don’t know that she never made any money or had any retirement funds, and some people prefer to care for their aging grandparents themselves rather than put them in a home.

Time to bring out my favorite ever BYU testing center story. When my seminary teacher went to BYU way back when, women weren’t allowed to wear pants in the testing center. Well, she needed to take a test one day when she was wearing pants and a long trench coat, so instead of going home to change, she snuck into a…

SNL did a pretty on-point critique of this ending back in they day, making the pretty strong argument that Old Rose is pretty much an awful person for secretly hoarding a priceless diamond necklace all the while living with (and presumably being cared for by) her granddaughter, whom I imagine could’ve used the money.

Right Rose, throw it overboard. Don't, you know, give it to your granddaughter who's been taking care of you or anything.
