Geeze, and I suppose this person will never listen to a male OB talk about
childbirth for the same reason.  Nor should I ever lecture on diabetes, since
I've never experienced it myself.  For that matter, never teach a patient who
has had a stroke because I haven't BTDT.  Guess I won't ever be able to talk
to a mom who has had a C/Section, or suffered a miscarriage, or a
stillbirth...I haven't BTDT either.

when will people STOP being so small minded????
