re: #248 Kid A

Anyone here see in this link where the ACA is blamed for why physicians want to discontinue routine pelvic exams? Anyone? Hello?

Oh, hell, it’s the LA Times, for crying out loud.

Women of child-bearing age should always have yrly exams, IMHO. I always did, never had problems, and still kept my yrly appt; it was seen as something I should do since my mother had died with cervical cancer and kidney failure at age 27. It was comforting to know I could go another year without worry, or if something did happen, my dr was familiar with me and my history. In fact, it was at a yrly exam in my 40s that my regular ob-gyn found a particular type of cancer that, while not rare, isn’t seen that often. It can recur, and did in my 60s.
