 I had a student in Mississippi in 1985 who told me she had had her
pituitary removed and to surprise of everyone, she got pregnant and had a
healthy baby the following year.  Her doctor had told her she would never be
able to have children, so she wasn't using birth control!  Didn't ask her
about breastfeeding . . . .

If it is impossible to remove a pituitary, then why are people being told
this is what was done to them?
