I did not consent to have a hysterectomy yet I was given one anyway. No, there wasn't a gun put to my head, but I was unconscious when it was done against my wishes. Don't assume that your experience covers everyone. I adamantly refused to consent, I had no history of chronic pain, nor any problems. The only surgery I needed was to have ovarian cysts removed, but that didn't happen. I've spoken to many women who were deceived into the surgery room for exploratory surgery, only to wake up without their organs. From not having pain all my life, now I have chronic pain. It hurts when I sit and bend, even when I go for a walk. I have no sex drive and lost my ability to orgasm. Frankly, I would have preferred a gun to my head. At least that would have been a choice.
