Seems women are a goldmine for cash. <br /><br />http://www.oceanobgynonline.com/<br /><br />Sadly, it never ceases to amaze me how far out of the confines of obstetrics and gynecology so many Ob-Gyn’s are willing to go to fill the coffers. The bio-identical hormones, saliva testing and compounded hormone preparations have been roundly criticized as ineffective and dangerous by nearly every healthcare agency including ACOG, NIH and FDA. But the practice continues to thrive at the hand of board certified fellows of ACOG. Sadder still are the patients/victims of these unethical practitioners.

Then he needs an extra hour with each new patient to explain why it’s bad. His production falls, the doc’s in the hospital-owned-whatever-it’s- called are concerned, blah, blah.<br /><br />Maybe not on the right coast, but in small towns across the USA I’ll bet a million it’s the norm.Peternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-66412492621213139442014-12-23T09:17:35.313-05:002014-12-23T09:17:35.313-05:00I would add that statistically, robotic hysterecto...I would add that statistically, robotic hysterectomy is very likely to be associated with more complications, as is laparoscopic hysterectomy. Vaginal hysterectomy, when appropriate, is the best in all categories. It is rapidly disappearing from gynecologic practice.Robnoreply@blogger.com
