The artcile in question about nuns and incontinence was quoted by Karen Guilliland on a Lateline report on 16 Sept 1999 (which I obtained a dub for for teaching purposes) which was a debate on LUSCS and avoiding pelvic floor problems. This program was much more balanced, though the president of RANZCOG of the day, a chap from QLD was a stroppy old coot. Karen was marvellous in her responses. It seems we will never be free of this issue. It is also interesting that these same debates about faulty women's equipment were huge in the 80s and 90s when every second woman had her uterus ripped out for dysmenorrhoea. Now we have had the disaster of HRT (surprise, surprise they are now doubting the dubious benefits heralded only 10 years ago).
Until we are neutered, this fight over our bodies will not go away, I fear. Trish -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics. Visit <http://www.acegraphics.com.au> to subscribe or unsubscribe.
