Doctors abusing their god-like powers

[MsTiggywinkletoyou]

The thread about the trans-surgeon reminds me of so many other examples of hubris. This is a feminist issue. Breast implants imploding: there's Big Pharma behind it, with lots to sell. Designer vagina: there's a burgeoning industry. But the rogue individuals, how can we recognise them early?

Doctors abusing their god-like powers on the bodies of women:

Dr. John Teskey, a surgeon in Winnipeg, sewed beads into the sutures of his patient Elsie Miles, a Native Canadian woman. She maintained that it was a racist deed.

Dr Michael Kamrava, a fertility specialist in California, implanted a large number (sources vary) of embryos into Nadya Suleman, who became known as Octomom ten years ago. He had his licence revoked by the Medical Board of California and was expelled by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. It wasn't his first case of implanting an unfeasibly high number of embryos.

I'd need more info to get worked up about the first case. Anchoring beads are often used in running sutures to secure the ends. Seems the surgeon freely admitted the use so would imagine it's common practice for him.

Is that all they give US, 'sewed beads at the ends of her sutures'? Agree it's normal procedure, certainly in cesearean sections anyway. I knew women who had CS's and they opted to keep theirs, sometimes incorporating them into a piece of jewellery.
