One last thing for Dr. Hufnagel

by Carrie

In regards to your responses to my posts; I don't believe I missed the point here. I came to this site merely to get information. I am fully aware I cannot get a diagnosis here (I'm not looking for one).I know we are not your patients here (however, you are a doctor, so that's how I refer to the people you are "advising" here). I think it is a wonderful thing you have done to help these women, and I am grateful to Susan for creating this site. I never meant to disrespect her.You say you are tired of answering stupid questions,yet on the homepage of this site,there is some text stating,"ASK DR. HUFNAGEL", that can be clicked on. Perhaps if you would no longer like to answer your e-mail, you should remove that text. Or just don't answer.You have stated over and over how we have been castrated by these men, and have used some very "descriptive" terms in regards to our relationships with them. You make it seem as if we have no self-esteem, and are consentual victims of their malpractice. These women were MISINFORMED! I don't believe misinformation and this "consentual rape" can be compared.You make it seem as though these women are victims of prior sexual abuse.Did you also study psychiatry? I have talked to a few very sincere women here, and would like to continue to do so. I will not send you any more posts. I am not angry, simply baffled by the response I received from you. Perhaps you should post a list of RULES on the homepage, so women can see what topics are to be discussed and what questions may be asked when posting.....Thank you

Take the Tubal Ligation I.Q. Test Are you outraged? Feel as though you and other women were not (are not) being informed? Think that a class action lawsuit should be filed on behalf of post tubal women because information was and still is being withheld by the ACOG! The CPTwomen invites all reading this forum to join the CPTwomen and communicate with us at the members' forum. All posting here and conversation here has been moved to the members' forum.

CPTwomen members have testified in front of the IL and CA Court, the IL Gov. Task Force, the Sunset Review Committee, (Senator Liz Figueroa), NOW, and more. What occurred has been made a matter of public record. The CPTwomen are making public the issues which millions of other women have faced in silence. Issues such as women are not informed at the time of their tubal ligation that there is a risk of hormonal imbalance occurring. For the CPTwomen to continue its mission to move this issue to the forefront of government, we must ask for a small contribution/subscription fee from all those who wish to communicate with us and participate at the Coalition's Bulletin Board
