Product Information
Of the hundreds of thousands of hysterectomies performed year, Sandra Simkin argues 90 Percent are unnecessary.There are many reasons why hysterectomy has become a contested medical procedure: doctors have a history of minimizing the real risks involved in the operation; the physiological and emotional after-effects have been downplayed or denied; and the aging process, menopause, and sexual relationships are all affected. At a time when 60 percent of complaints lodged against physicians are against gynecologists, Simkin passionately argues for better information, services and after care, as well as changes in the law to protect women from surgical abuse.Product Identifiers
