When I say I didn't consent, I mean I adamantly stated I did not want a hysterectomy, yet woke up with one anyway. I was and am still devastated by it. I had no idea they were doing this to women until shortly after when I found the HERS Foundation. Since then, I've heard about this happening to many women when they only agree to have a cyst or tumor removed. The typical line from the doctor is," well I won't know exactly until I get in there." That forces women to open the door for a possible hysterectomy, but the doctor tells them that it won't really happen, it just in case he finds cancer or something that it needs to be included on the consent form as a possibility. These doctors are very tricky, and of course they'd have to be since they've done this to 1 out of 2 women under the age of 65.
