Comments on: How a hysterectomy will not make someone less disabled – or society less discriminatory http://www.mamanpoulet.com/how-a-hysterectomy-will-not-make-someone-less-disabled-or-society-less-discriminatory/ Clucking away crookedly through media, politics and life. Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:53:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Launcher http://www.mamanpoulet.com/how-a-hysterectomy-will-not-make-someone-less-disabled-or-society-less-discriminatory/comment-page-1/#comment-82455 Launcher Sun, 19 Oct 2008 23:51:25 +0000 http://www.mamanpoulet.com/?p=240#comment-82455 The interesting thing is that the mother's rational for obtaining a hysterectomy is no less rationale than what every woman is confronted with when a doctor recommends hysterectomy. It is recommended normally for non-life threatening reasons (which make it not necessary), based on the fact that some women have completed their families or who no longer wish to have children, and doctors hold out the benefit of saving women from cervical cancer. While I disagree with giving this girl a hysterectomy because no girl/women needs one unless they are fully aware of the permanent pathology that comes with this surgery.

Never mind that this is major surgery, the operation being wholly unnecessary. A risk of said operation, although slim, is death, yet everyone seems to be ignoring that. Almost 10% of hysterectomies have at least one major complication. It's just disgraceful that her own mother could do this. Really well put.
