I was just going to ask the same thing! I know there are actual medical doctors who comment here, thanks to discovering two on a Real Housewives thread, thereby elevating my theretofore guilty pleasure from the lowbrow to at least mid-brow.

I’m no doctor (even though my BFF is one...perhaps you know him? Dr. Google?) but I’m aware of several women in my greater social circle who’ve been forced to go the c-sec route due to long inactive herp and their OB’s general avoidance of malpractice litigation.

I’m a U.S.-born dual-citizen child of Canadians who was sent to summer camp in London in the 70s. I recall it seeming lovely but those 50-year-old memories are not reliable. That said, Ontario in general (southern in particular) is breathtakingly beautiful in the summer. Well, not Windsor. But most of it.

The world needs more Jackson-Yousefians. Many, many more.

Cervical cancer (which my own mother had) is almost always connected to HPV infection, which is why children are now encouraged to be vaccinated against it with medicines like Gaurdasil. It’s one of those weird cancers you can sort of “catch” (by way of HPV, a sexually-transmitted infection to which some huge…

Please, please do this then file a kinja report. I am following you right now, and I expect your report by the end of the year!

If that isn't motivation to download, I don't know what is! Off to download...

Well, WE all know that but Phaedra was counting on her mother - the Preacher - not having any basic common sense...that's what the big lie was all about.

I wonder if extreme lack of activity, exposure to sunlight, healthy food and living in constant fear play a role?

He strikes me as somehow totally asexual as well...

I so want to believe as well, but alas, in the last week came this:

Ok, TWO oncologists here? I’m officially recategorizing Jezebel from a time waster to an ongoing interactive educational opportunity. And also now I can think of RHOC as weekly smart-people TV (uh, “created for”, not “featuring”).

The fact that a practicing oncologist frequents this neighborhood and maybe even watches the same hideous trash tv I do really validates my chosen timewasters.
