While I’m not sure abuse has become the “new standard of care” exactly, I’m very sure that women cannot afford to simply trust that their doctor will do what’s best for them. That kind of blind trust is just not a good idea. The sad reality is that we must take charge of our own health. We cannot rely on doctors to do what is right for us. Doctors are under extreme financial and it is just too easy for them to recommend expensive surgery for a condition that can be treated alternatively. Research in women's health issues remains inconsistent, incomplete and often slipshod. Many times women wind up being experimental 'guinea pigs' for surgeons without ever being told of all the potentially life-shattering risks to which they are being exposed. http://www.hormonesmatter.com/medical-abuse-women-become-new-standard-care/
