I speak for no one but me.

Nothing that is posted here should be taken as a substitute for medical advice.

Blogs (and social media) do not constitute the practice of medicine.

The medical cases that I sometimes use to illustrate a point don’t strike me because of their uniqueness, but rather because they are all too common.  That is often what I find most devastating.  I construct these histories from a lifetime of caring for women and from anonymous case I have heard along the way from teachers and colleagues.  These stories NEVER reflect a specific individual or single case.
