READ THIS BOOK BEFORE MAKING A DECISION...., July 8, 2001 By A Customer This review is from: The Ultimate Rape: What Every Woman Should Know about Hysterectomies and Ovarian Removal (Hardcover) This book is a must read for anyone comtemplating ANY TYPE OF SURGERY INVOLVING THE REPRODUCTIVE organs. I thought I did all possible to search for a Doctor who did not believe in removing organs to remove fibroid tumors. I went to a doctor whos associate wrote a book on fibroids. The objective of the book was to inform women of the aternatives methods of removing fibroid tumors. I assumed his associate would have the same philosophy. HRT is a VERY LUCRATIVE business and I think this associate doctor had his own agenda of maximizing his returns and creating a long term HRT patient. (He billed the insurance company by the parts removed.) He tried to convince me that I was at high risk for ovarian cancer. (I have found that this is not true.) Before the surgery, I specifically asked him if he could take a biopsy of my ovaries to make sure removal was necessary. He said, yes. I awoke to find I had no ovaries. According to him, the good news was that - THERE WAS NO CANCER!! He did no biopsy to avoid this life altering surgery. I SAY - KNOW THE DOCTOR FOR SOME TIME BEFORE THE SURGERY!!! Decisions like these show the relationship between the pharmaceutical companies and the doctors. This doctor is no different than a mechanic who, while fixing your car, breaks something to keep you coming back. The big difference - THE STAKES ARE MUCH, MUCH HIGHER!!!! Doctors and pharmacist are NOT GODS. HRT could never exactly match the natural hormonal balance for each individual body. Unfortunately, the hit and miss tactics of getting it right can cause pain, suffering and grave side effects!! This book does not make decisions for you. It simply lets you know the consequences sometimes not explained by physicians who gain from your ignorance!
