Also William is famous for being “work-shy.” You have to think that without Harry and Megan, there’s no one to yell at, and they don’t want to return to that moniker. Hence both of them being out and about and “working.” Though personally, I think calling Bingo numbers sounds fun. 

Yeah that’s exactly what I thought, its always about money not going to the right places.

I didn’t have a doll but devoured the books. I don’t think I truly understood what the Underground railroad even was until I read the Addy books. I still think those are an amazing window into American history

If only. Guns are an American right. Being female isn’t. (The worst part is legally, I think that is true...)

1) Your tech sounds great, and 100% patients should be able to say no to any part of their exam at anytime

Agreed. 1 billion times agreed. I trained as an OBGYN in the south, and my final year of training, they literally changed the laws on a random Thursday afternoon, and we went into tailspin trying to help patients. I’m thinking of specific women, tears running down their faces, as I tell them “Go home and painfully…

So let’s discuss that fetal heart beats start ~5 weeks, but sometimes they can’t be “heard” because its too little a beat, and that all I can show is “Look a wave form pattern.”

This is fantastic! I love that Jezebel had a physician with expertise in this field write something easy to read and comprehensive!

I think the issue that I have with it is why do we have to constantly remind men that they are parents? Its the same thing in a pediatrics office, it can be a magazine with two kids on it, but unless is has MAN written on it in capital letters, somehow its not male friendly, but by virtue of having children on it, it…

I’m a physician and my husband does the larger load of the child care due to my crazy hours. He does this happily and genuinely enjoys being the “main parent.”Yet every doctor, the school, and basically everyone else consistently tries to call me because I’m the mom. And is shocked when I ask them to call my husband.…

Let me tell you the joy of that as a provider. There is a folder somewhere with my face and picture on it, and with every passing year in this dumpster fire, I think more and more Fuck it, I’m going to become a provider after training because screw these people trying to scare me out of being a good doctor.

The OB in me knows all of these restrictions, and the data that supports them. The mom in me remembers the utter exhaustion and the knowledge I was working 80+ hour work weeks 7 weeks postpartum and that a sleep deprived mistake could kill someone. We strapped the kid in a swing and went to bed. It was three years ago…

The picture you are showing is for a midurethral mesh sling, used for stress urinary incontinence. It has NOT been taken off the market and using this picture causes a lot of issues for patients, so please take it down. May I suggest googling either UpHold or Xenform or Restorelle so you have an actual representation…

“Our Boys” just makes me think of “Our Guys” that Lifetime movie from the ‘90s. Same basic concept: white, male and wealthy means that you can actually do no wrong. It was a very important lesson for teen me to realize, and one that has proven true time and again.

I bow to you, that is so much more accurate. Its just he’s so damn stupid. It is actually a little insulting how stupid he is. I sometimes hope Joaquin Phoenix is sitting somewhere with Ashton Kutcher, and we were all just being punked.

He’s stupid Nixon. Nixon without an evil core, but instead self-aggrandizing rat core. He’s too stupid to be evil. Watching the garbage that feed in his chum just reinforces all that is wrong with our government.

I saw this more than once in residency. Women would come in focused on their “birth experience” and not on their child. The outcomes were often poor for both the child and mother. It was a waste of resources, a waste of medical knowledge and frankly a waste of my tears.

Thank you. Because even though they are trolls, its glorious to see their pointless argument ripped to pieces

The problem is they do much of the health care in cities, surviving on donations, their non-profit status and whatever gov money they get. Cities like Cinicinatti, Washington DC and others are almost entirely dependent on Catholic charities for their poor. Its a really fucked up sinister plot to proselytize. And it…

Or IUDs. My favorite is when Catholic hospitals tell women who have never had children that “its not appropriate” to get an IUD. Its utterly ridiculous and not based in any sort of data based research.
