    WOW!! I think that is a scary proposition to have a physician like that. Why fix it if it aint' broke??? I am curious to know why he thinks that all women should be cut /and vandalised like that??? I agree should only be very last resort and really only if absolutely necessary.. My sister had a partial hysterectomy at the age of 51 due to heavy bleeding. She had her uterus removed..and since procedure has completely lost her sex drive. I don't think I would like to bargain with that at such an early age!!
