...know, it's incompetent; if it does, it is covering up." Plachetkova didn't experience segregation during the birth of her two daughters, but she does believe that Slovak doctors conspire to prevent Roma women from having more children. Three years after Plachetkova was sterilized, she approached her gynecologist for reverse surgery that would allow her to conceive again, only to discover that while being sterilized, her uterus had also been removed. "When my doctor told me, I couldn't stand up," she says. "I knew that I agreed to sterilization, but there was never ever any discussion of losing...
Most women who see a gynecologist have become accustomed to the annual Pap smear, the standard cervical-cancer screening tool. But, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS), the test produces nearly 3 million abnormal results a year--yet only 13,000 cases of cervical cancer occur yearly--leading to needless anxiety or invasive, potentially harmful procedures.

Written by Dr. Patricia Sulak, an obstetrician-gynecologist and professor at Texas A&M University's College of Medicine, the lessons set forth the clinical consequences of teen sex in pictures and eye-popping statistics charting the numbers of young people infected with sexually transmitted diseases. The take-home message: abstain from intercourse or put yourself at grave medical risk...
...some of Sulak's most ardent defenders also come from within the medical profession. "I'm a convert to her way of thinking," says Dr. Gerald Joseph Jr., an obstetrician-gynecologist in Springfield, Mo., and district officer at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. "There's no question her program is 100% medically accurate and responsible." Indeed, doctors have a hand in all aspects of the Worth the Wait curriculum. Not only do they train health educators from participating schools, but either a doctor or medical student also gives a guest lecture to students during the semester...
