Any labor room hospitalist who is responsible for the care of unassigned pregnant women will tell you that it is far easier to take care of pregnant women who have had prenatal care than it is to take care of women who haven’t. The recent vigil of the Equality Nebraska Coalition in front of their state capitol to honor five dead babies whose death can be related to the lack of access to prenatal care speaks volumes. On or about February of 2010, Nebraska expectant mothers received a “Dear John” letter from Nebraska’s Health and Human Services stating that their pregnancies were no longer covered under Medicaid. It appeared that the rationale fo...

I’ve even been asked if I “refresh” vaginas (in which I refer them to their gynecologist.) I’m happy it’s a extremely small part of my practice. I’m also happy to see that the current issue of Reproductive Health Matters is taking a close look at cosmetic surgery, especially female cosmetic genital surgery.

The ability to radically alter human reproduction raises fundamental questions regarding the nature of our humanity and the character of our society.Thousands of scientists, scholars, journalists, religious leaders, and policy makers have debated and discussed the ethical implications of a wide range of reproductive technol...

The photo is of my real life path, that has held many days, challenging questioning and thinking regarding psychiatry and medication. I take psychiatric medications that work for me. I stopped taking [Seroquel]because it stole away my ability to think, caused me to sleep in a restless and nightmare-filled night, and once that med was removed, I've been sleeping peacefully and wakening human again. Lamictal works. [for me].My daughter is on Clozaril.Big difference in freedom on medications. Yesterday I took her out of town to see her sister. That appeared to be the best medicine of all. She talked, laughed and got her haircut, with her sister. She ate lunch and went shopping.
