Yes, men tend to "get it" more quickly than women do, but, with the medical professions chiming in in a loud protective chorus, men are taught from infancy the value of their sexual, reproductive, and endocrine organs...while women largely are not. Terri, it is probably more for this reason than any other that you have trouble accepting what is being said. The widespread prevalance of hysterectomy and ovary removal makes 'em seem benign. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. Also, people want to believe in their doctors as that makes us feel safer. We know that what we're asking of you requires a rewrite of all that you've held before, but, far better now than later. Keep in mind that doctors and hospitals are in reality a business-- and that all the scrutiny that you would apply to your other business transactions should be applied here.
