Operation! Is elective surgery overdone?

(Forbes Magazine, October 2003 Issue)

" The medical establishment puts no value on having a uterus if a

woman is no longer having babies, Broder says. "

Based on what the article (also see sidebar: " Under the Knife " , link

below) says that isn't the case at all, the value is $12,000 for just

the surgery alone; hormone replacement therapy is an additional cost

not even mentioned.
