Nikki, I never thought about this until my pastor brought it up.
Tonsillectomy:  removal of the tonsils.  Appendectomy, removal of the
appendix, etc. etc.  Hysterectomy--removal of the hysterics???  I don't
think I want to use that term anymore :o)  Sorry if this is too far off the
beaten path of breastfeeding, but without those "hysterics" we wouldn't
have much of a business.  :o)


Sincerely,
Joyce

"Maternity care seems to be the major place that it is used, which is a
big reason it galls me. I fight that notion of 'failure' in female
functions. I
worked on a male GU (genitourinary) unit; never took care of any man with
'failed' urination or 'erectile failure' or 'prostate failure'."
