Can this be accessed only to AOL members?

I'm not able to open up the link.

An article on AOL news. We know not to blindly acquiesce when our gyn

tells us his (or her) opinion on our options, but this is scary. If

you can't even trust them to do a simple exam, what are we supposed

to do? I feel really sorry for these women. I hope he gets whats

coming to him.

Hey all,

" Been there had that " during my long myo doc search but not quite to

that extreme. I think we should be " on guard " anytime we see a new

gyn and if asked if you're in a relationship say YES!!! even if it's

a lie and give him a hulky name like Bruno or Thor, " who's just

happens to be waiting for you outside in his monster truck " . Remember

that if you choose this Dr. you can correct that info. later.

I was newly without my SO when all this fibroid biz started and think

that my honesty about that also lead to my many hyst recommendations

as well as the funky exams. If I could go back in time I'd have

enlisted a male buddy as a stand in. I'm not okay with lies or

especially good at lying but I wish I'd made an exeption...hind sight.

PS-Little scared after reading that very moving papsmear story but my

dr said you don't have to have hyst for cervical cancer. I have clear

margins today:)Formally cin3. Thanks for posting that extra important

info.

Dear LOL,

I found the article on the CNN Homepage also. In your browser

type www.cnn.com then about a third of the way down the page is the

heading US News, it is listed there, as the third item. It may

move to another spot, as CNN updates their page frequently, but you

should be able to find it if you click on the headings and look at

the topics.

Sorry for the hunt, ladies.

I had no idea it was the case here in Washington as that's an older

story -- although it continues.

You can search the Seattle Times archives for the doctor's

name " Momah " for these articles; note the first one was from

September 2003.
