Kaiser gender specialists were eager to approve hormones and surgeries, which would all be covered by insurance as “medically necessary.”

On September 6, 2022, I received mail from my Kaiser Permanente Davis Ob-Gyn reminding me of a routine cervical screening. The language of the reminder stood out to me: “Recommended for people with a cervix ages 21 to 65.” When I asked my Ob-Gyn about this strange wording, she told me the wording was chosen to be “inclusive” of their “transgender” and “gender fluid” patients.

Based on this response, several thoughts occurred to me. Could I expose the medical scandal of “gender-affirming care” by saying and doing everything my daughter and other trans-identifying kids are taught to do? Would there be the type of medical safeguarding and differential diagnosis we would expect in other fields of medicine, or would I simply be allowed to self-diagnose and be offered the tools (i.e. hormones and surgeries) to choose my own gender adventure and become my true authentic self?

If I could demonstrate that anyone suffering from delusions of their sex, self-hatred, or identity issues could qualify for and easily obtain body-altering hormones and surgeries, all covered by insurance as “medically necessary” and potentially “life-saving” care, then maybe people would finally wake up. I certainly had.

I was prepared for failure. I wasn’t prepared for how easy success would be.

* * *

I am a 53-year-old mom from Davis, CA. My daughter began identifying as a transgender boy (social transition) and using he/him pronouns at school during 8th grade. Like several of her peers who also identified as trans at her school, my daughter was a gifted student and intellectually mature but socially immature. This shift coincided with her school’s sudden commitment to, and celebration of, a now widespread set of radical beliefs about the biology of sex and gender identity.

She “came out” as trans to her father (my ex-husband) and me through a standard coming-out letter, expressing her wish to start puberty blockers. She said she knew they were safe, citing information she had read from Planned Parenthood and the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). To say I was shocked would be an understatement. I was also confused because this announcement was sudden and unexpected. While others quickly accepted and affirmed my daughter’s new identity, I was apprehensive and felt the need to learn more about what was going on.

Events began escalating quickly.

During a routine doctor’s visit scheduled for dizziness my daughter said that she was experiencing, the Kaiser pediatrician overheard her father using “he/him” pronouns for our daughter. The pediatrician seemed thrilled, quickly asking my daughter about her “preferred pronouns” and updating her medical records to denote that my daughter was now, in fact, my son. The pediatrician then recommended we consult the Kaiser Permanente Oakland Proud pediatric gender clinic, where she could get further information and (gender affirming) “treatment.” Now I was the one feeling dizzy.

As I began educating myself on this issue, I discovered that this phenomenon—minors, most often teen girls, suddenly adopting trans identities—was becoming increasingly widespread. It even had a name: rapid onset gender dysphoria, or ROGD. Thankfully, after learning about the potential side-effects of blockers and hormones, my ex-husband and I managed to agree not to consent to any medical interventions for our daughter until she turned 18 and would then be able to make such decisions as an adult.

Over the past five years, my daughter’s identity has slowly evolved in ways that I see as positive. Our bond, however, has become strained, particularly since I began publicly voicing my concerns about what many term as “gender ideology.” Following my daughter’s 17th birthday family celebration, she sent me an email that evening stating she would be cutting off contact with me.

While this estrangement brought me sorrow, with my daughter living full-time with her father, it also gave me the space to be an advocate/activist in pushing back on gender identity ideology in the schools and the medical industry.

I decided to go undercover as a nonbinary patient to show my daughter what danger she might be putting herself in—by people who purport to have her health as their interest, but whose main interest is in medically “affirming” (i.e., transitioning) whoever walks through their door. I am at heart a mother protecting her child.

My daughter’s sudden decision to become a boy was heavily on my mind in early September of 2022, when mail from my Kaiser Permanente Davis Ob-Gyn reminded me of a routine cervical screening with “Recommended for people with a cervix ages 21 to 65.” I was told that the wording was chosen to be “inclusive” of transgender and “gender fluid” patients.

Throughout the whole 231-day process of my feigned gender transition, the Kaiser gender specialists were eager to serve me and give me what I wanted, which would all be covered by insurance as “medically necessary.” My emails were returned quickly, my appointments scheduled efficiently, and I never fell through the cracks. I was helped along every step of the way.

Despite gender activists and clinicians constantly claiming that obtaining hormones and surgeries is a long and complex process with plenty of safety checks in place, I was in full control at every checkpoint. I was able to self-diagnose, determine how strong a dose of testosterone I received and which surgeries I wanted to pursue, no matter how extreme and no matter how many glaring red flags I purposefully dropped. The medical workers I met repeatedly reminded me that they were not there to act as “gatekeepers.”

I was able to instantly change my medical records to reflect my new gender identity and pronouns. Despite never being diagnosed with gender dysphoria, I was able to obtain a prescription for testosterone and approval for a “gender-affirming” double mastectomy from my doctor. It took only three more months (90 days) to be approved for surgery to remove my uterus and have a fake penis constructed from the skin of my thigh or forearm. Therapy was never recommended.

Critics might dismiss my story as insignificant on the grounds that I am a 53-year-old woman with ample life experience who should be free to alter her body. However, this argument for adult bodily autonomy is a standard we apply to purely cosmetic procedures like breast implants, liposuction, and facelifts, not “medically necessary” and “lifesaving” treatments covered by health insurance. Or interventions that compromise health and introduce illness into an otherwise healthy body. And especially not for children.

My story, which I outline in much more detail below, should convince any half-rational person that gender medicine is not operating like any other field of medicine. Based on a radical concept of “gender identity,” this medical anomaly preys upon the body-image insecurities common among pubescent minors to bill health insurance companies for permanent cosmetic procedures that often leave their patients with permanently altered bodies, damaged endocrine systems, sexual dysfunction, and infertility.

Detailed Timeline of Events

On October 6, 2022, I responded to my Ob-Gyn’s email to tell her that, after some thought, I’d decided that maybe the label “cis woman” didn’t truly reflect who I was. After all, I did have some tomboyish tendencies. I told her I would like my records to be changed to reflect my newly realized “nonbinary” identity, and that my new pronouns were they/them. I also voiced my desire to be put in touch with an endocrinologist to discuss starting testosterone treatment.

Fifteen minutes later I received an email from another Kaiser doctor informing me that my medical records had been changed, and that once my primary doctor returned to the office, I’d be able to speak with her about hormone therapy.

I responded the following day (October 7, 2022), thanking her for changing my records, and asking if she could connect me with someone who could help me make an appointment for “top surgery” (i.e., a cosmetic double mastectomy) because my chest binder was rather “uncomfortable after long days and playing tennis.”

She told me to contact my primary care MD to “get things rolling,” and that there were likely to be “preliminary evaluations.”

Six days after contacting my primary care MD for a referral, I received an email from one of Kaiser’s gender specialists asking me to schedule a phone appointment so she could better understand my goals for surgery, so that I could get “connected to care.” This call to review my “gender affirming treatment options and services” would take 15-20 minutes, after which I would be “booked for intake,” allowing me to proceed with medical transition.

This wasn’t an evaluation of whether surgical transition was appropriate, it was simply a meeting for me to tell them what I wanted so that they could provide it.

On October 18, I had my one and only in-person appointment in preparation for top surgery. I met in Davis with my primary care physician, Dr. Hong-wen Xue. The assessment was a 10-minute routine physical exam that included blood tests. Everything came back normal. Notably, there was not a single question about why I wanted top surgery or cross-sex hormones. Nor was there any discussion of the risks involved with these medical treatments.

The following week, on October 24, I had a phone appointment with Rachaell Wood, MFT, a gender specialist with Kaiser Sacramento. The call lasted 15 minutes and consisted of standard questions about potential drug use, domestic violence, guns in the house, and whether I experienced any suicidal thoughts. There were no questions from the gender specialist about my reasons for requesting a mastectomy or cross-sex hormones, or why I suddenly, at 52, decided I was “nonbinary.”

After the call, Kaiser emailed me instructions about how to prepare for my pre-surgery intake video appointment to evaluate my mental health, scheduled to take place on November 15. The email stated that prior to my appointment, I should research hormone risks on the WPATH website, and to “research bilateral mastectomy and chest reconstruction surgery risks and recovery” on Kaiser’s website.

I decided to request a “gender-affirming” double mastectomy and phalloplasty. Kaiser sent me a sample timeline for gender transition surgery preparation (see below) that you can use as a reference for the process. I also asked for a prescription for cross-sex hormones (testosterone) as needed and recommended by Kaiser.

Pre-Surgery Mental Health Video Appointment, Part I

This “Mental Health Visit” assessment was conducted over Zoom. The Kaiser gender specialist started with questions addressing my marital status, race, gender identity, and other demographics. She asked whether I was “thinking of any other surgeries, treatments in the future.” The list she read included “gender-affirming” hysterectomies, bottom surgeries such as metoidioplasty and phalloplasty, vocal coaching, support groups, and body contouring. “Anything else you might be interested in doing?” she asked. I said that I’d perhaps be interested in body contouring. I was also assured that all the procedures would be covered by insurance because they were considered “medically necessary.”

I dropped in several red flags regarding my mental health to see the reaction, but all were ignored. For instance, I revealed that I had PTSD. When the therapist asked me about whether I had experienced any “childhood trauma,” I explained that I grew up in Mexico City and had been groped several times and had also witnessed men masturbating in public and had been grabbed by men in subways and buses. “I was a young girl, so [I had] lots of experiences of sexual harassments, sexual assault, just the kind of stuff that happens when you are a girl growing up in a big city.” “So, you know,” I finished, “just the general feeling that you are unsafe, you know, in a female body.”

The therapist did not respond to my disclosure that trauma could be the cause of my dysphoria. Instead of viewing this trauma as potentially driving my desire to escape my female body through hormones and surgery, she asked whether there is anything “important that the surgery team should be aware of” regarding my “history of trauma,” such as whether I’d be comfortable with the surgeon examining and marking my chest prior to surgery.

When asked about whether I had had any “psychotic symptoms,” I told her that while I had had no such symptoms, my mother had a delusional nervous breakdown in her 50s because she had body dysmorphia and became convinced she had a growth on her neck that needed to be removed. I told her that my mother was then admitted to an inpatient hospital for severe depression. I asked her whether she ever sees patients with body dysmorphia and whether I could have potentially inherited that from my mother. She told me that psychosis was hereditary, but that it was “highly unlikely” that there was any connection between body dysmorphia and gender dysphoria.

I enthusiastically waved more mental health red flags, waiting to see if she would pick up on any of them.

I’m just wondering if my feelings, or perseverating, or feeling like these breasts make me really unhappy and I just don’t want them anymore!...I’m just not sure if that’s a similar feeling to body dysmorphia? How do you decide which one is gender dysphoria and general body dysmorphia, and just not liking something about your body? Feeling uncomfortable with your body? And I did have an eating disorder all through college. I was a distance runner in college so I had bulimia and anorexia, you know. So I don’t know if that’s related to gender dysphoria?

The therapist replied, “I completely appreciate your concerns, but I am going to ask you questions about your chest, about your expectations. And then I’ll be able to give you an assessment.” She also said the main difference between my mom’s situation and mine was that my mom didn’t really have a growth on her neck, whereas it’s “confirmed” that I actually have “chest tissue.” Furthermore, she said that while “historically there has been all this pressure on patients to be like ‘Are you really, really sure you want hormones? Are you 100% sure?’ We are a little more relaxed.” She continued, “As long as you are aware of the risks and the side-effects, you can put your toe in the water. You can stop ‘T’ [testosterone], you can go back and do it again later! You can stop it! You can stop it! You know what I mean?”

Because we ran out of time, I scheduled a follow-up phone meeting on December 27, 2022 with a different gender specialist to complete my mental health assessment for top surgery.

Pre-Surgery Mental Health Video Appointment, Part II

During this meeting, Guneet Kaur, LCSW, another Kaiser gender specialist (she/her/they/them pronouns) told me that she regretted the “gatekeeping vibe” of the meeting but assured me that since I have been “doing the work,” her questions are essentially just a form of “emotional support” before talking with the medical providers.

She asked me about what I’d been “looking into as far as hormones.” I told her that I’d be interested in taking small doses of testosterone to counterbalance my female feelings to achieve “a feeling that’s kind of neutral.”

When she asked me about me “not feeling like I match on the outside what I feel on the inside,” I dropped more red flags, mentioning my aversion to wearing dresses and skirts.

I don’t own a single dress or a skirt and haven't in 20 years. I think for me it’s been just dressing the way that’s comfortable for me, which is just wearing, jeans and sweatshirts and I have a lot of flannel shirts and, and I wear boots all the time instead of other kinds of shoes. So I think it’s been nice being able to dress, especially because I work from home now most of the time that just a feeling of clothing being one of the ways that I can feel more non-binary in my everyday life.

She responded, “Like having control over what you wear and yeah. Kind of that feeling of just, yeah, this is who I am today. That’s awesome. Yeah.”

She then asked me to describe my dysphoria, and I told her that I didn’t like the “feeling of the female form and being chesty,” and that because I am going through menopause, I wanted to start taking testosterone to avoid “that feeling of being like this apple-shaped older woman.” “Good. Okay, great,” she responded, reminding me that only “top surgery,” not testosterone, would be able to solve my chest dysphoria. (Perhaps it was because all these meetings were online, they didn’t notice I’m actually fit and relatively slender at 5’-5” and 130 pounds, and not apple-shaped at all.)

She told me that we had to get through a few more questions related to my medical history before “we can move on to the fun stuff, which is testosterone and top surgery.”

The “fun stuff” consisted of a discussion about the physical and mood changes I could expect, and her asking me about the dose of testosterone I wanted to take and the kind of “top surgery” technique I’d prefer to achieve my “chest goals.” She told me that all or most of my consultations for surgeries and hormones would be virtual.

The gender specialist told me after the appointment, she would submit my referral to the Multi-Specialty Transitions Clinic (MST) team that oversees “gender expansive care.” They would follow up to schedule a “nursing call” with me to review my medical history, after which they’d schedule my appointment with a surgeon for a consultation. Her instructions for this consultation were to “tell them what you’re wanting for surgery and then they share with you their game plan.”

She told me that Kaiser has a team of plastic surgeons who “only work with trans and nonbinary patients because there’s just so much need for them.” She asked about my priorities for chest surgery, such as whether I value flatness over nipple sensation. I learned about double incision top surgery with nipple grafts, as well as “keyhole,” “donut,” “buttonhole,” and “Inverted-T” top surgeries.

By the end of the hour-long appointment, I had my surgery referral and was ready for my “nursing call” appointment.

Nursing call with Nurse Coordinator from the Transgender Surgery and Gender Pathways Clinic at Kaiser San Francisco

On January 19, 2023, I had my nursing call with the Nurse Coordinator. He first said that “the purpose of this call is just for us to go through your chart together and make sure everything’s as accurate as possible.” Once that was done, my referral would be sent to the surgeon for a consultation.

He asked me about potential allergies and recreational drug use, and verified that I was up to date on mammograms, pap smears, and colon cancer screenings, as well as vaccines for flu and COVID. I verified my surgical history as well as my current medications and dietary supplements.

He told me about a “top surgery class” available for patients where one of the Kaiser surgeons “presents and talks about surgical techniques and options within top surgery,” and includes a panel of patients who have had top surgery. I signed up for the February 8th class.

Within 10 minutes he told me that he had “sent a referral to the plastic surgery department at Kaiser Sacramento,” and that I should be hearing from them in the next week or two to schedule a consultation.

Appointment for Testosterone

On January 27, I had a 13-minute online appointment with a primary care doctor at Kaiser Davis to discuss testosterone. The doctor verified my name and preferred pronouns, and then directly asked: “So, what would you like to do? What kind of physical things are you looking for?”

I told her I wanted facial hair, a more muscular and less “curvy” physique, and to feel stronger and androgynous. She asked me when I wanted to start, and I told her in the next few months. She asked me if I was menopausal, whether I had ovaries and a uterus, although that information should have been on my chart.

The doctor said she wanted me to come in to get some labs so she could check my current estrogen, testosterone, and hemoglobin levels before starting hormones. Then “we'll set the ball in motion and you'll be going. We’ll see you full steam ahead in the direction you wanna go.”

That was it. I made an appointment and had my lab tests done on February 12. My labs came back on February 14, and the following day, after paying a $5 copay at the Kaiser pharmacy, I picked up my testosterone pump. That was easy!

Top Surgery Consultation

On the same day I received my labs, I had a Zoom surgery consultation with Karly Autumn-Kaplan, MD, Kaiser Sacramento plastic surgeon. This consultation was all about discussing my “goals” for surgery, not about whether surgery was needed or appropriate.

I told the surgeon that I wanted a “flatter, more androgynous appearance.” She asked me some questions to get a better idea of what that meant for me. She said that some patients want a “male chest,” but that others “want to look like nothing, like just straight up and down, sometimes not even nipples.” Others still wanted their chest to appear slightly feminine and only “slightly rounded.” I told her that I’d like my chest to have a “male appearance.”

“What are your thoughts about keeping your nipples?” she asked. “Are you interested in having nipples or would you like them removed?” I told her that I’d like to keep my nipples, but to make them “smaller in size.” She asked me if I’d like them moved to “the edge of the peck muscle” to achieve “a more male appearance.” I said yes.

I was asked to show my bare chest from the front and side, which I did. Then she asked me how important it was for me to keep my nipple sensation. I replied that it was important unless it would make recovery more difficult or there were other associated risks. She highlighted the problem with the free nipple graft, saying that removing the nipple to relocate it means “you're not gonna have sensation in that nipple and areola anymore.” However, some nipple sensation could be preserved by keeping it attached to “a little stalk of tissue” with “real nerves going to it,” but that would require leaving more tissue behind. I told her I’d go for the free nipple graft to achieve a flatter appearance. It was also suggested I could skip nipple reconstruction entirely and just get nipples “tattooed” directly onto my chest.

She told me I was “a good candidate for surgery,” and put me on the surgery wait list. She said that the wait time was between three and five months, but a cancellation could move me up to a sooner date. Also, if I wanted surgery as soon as possible, I could tell the surgery scheduler that I’d be willing to have any of the other three surgeons perform my mastectomy. Outpatient top surgery would cost me a copay of $100.

They contacted twice, in February and March, notifying me of cancellations. If I had accepted and shown up on those dates, they would have removed my breasts. This would have been less than five months from the time I first contacted Kaiser to inform them of my new “nonbinary” gender identity.

How Far Can I Go?

I decided to see how easy it would be for me to get approved for a phalloplasty. Known euphemistically as “bottom surgery,” phalloplasty is the surgical creation of an artificial penis, generally using tissue from the thigh or arm.

I sent an email on March 1, 2023, requesting to have a phalloplasty and concurrent hysterectomy scheduled alongside my mastectomy.

Two weeks later, on March 16th, I had a 16-minute phone call with a gender specialist to discuss my goals for bottom surgery and obtain my referral.

During the call, I explained to the specialist that I wasn’t sure about taking testosterone anymore because I was already quite athletic and muscular, and that taking testosterone didn’t make much sense to me. Instead, I wanted bottom surgery so that I wouldn’t feel like my “top” didn’t match my “bottom.” I told her:

But what I really wanted was to have bottom surgery. So this way when I have my top surgery, which sounds like it could be very soon, that I’ll be aligned, that I won’t have this sense of dysphoria with one part of my body and the other part feeling like it matched who I am. So yeah. So I just did a little bit more research into that. And I looked at the resources on the Kaiser page for the MST clinic and I think I know what I want, which is the hysterectomy and then at the same time or soon after to be able to have a phalloplasty.

I told her that I wanted to schedule the top and bottom surgery concurrently so that I wouldn’t have to take more time off work and it would save me trips to San Francisco or Oakland, or wherever I had to go for surgery.

None of this gave the gender specialist pause. After a brief conversation about some online resources to look over, she told me that she would “submit the referral now and we’ll get this ball rolling.”

Bottom surgery would cost me a copay of $200, which included a couple of days in the hospital for recovery.

Phalloplasty Surgical Consultation with Nurse Coordinator

On May 16, 2023, I had a short surgical consultation with a nurse coordinator to go through my medical history. This was similar to the consultation for top surgery but included information about hair removal procedures for the skin on my “donor site” that would be fashioned into a makeshift penis. They also went over the procedures for determining which donor site—forearm or thigh—was more viable.

After only 15 minutes, she submitted my referral to the surgeon for another surgical consultation.

On May 25 I received an email from my phalloplasty surgeon’s scheduler, informing me that they have received my referral and are actively working on scheduling, but that they are experiencing delays.

I ended my investigation here once I had the referral for the top and bottom surgery. I never used my testosterone pump.

Final Thoughts

In fewer than 300 days, based on a set of superficial and shifting thoughts about my gender and my “embodiment goals” triggered by the mere mention of “gender” in a form letter from my primary care physician, and driven by what could only be described as minor discomforts, Kaiser Permanente’s esteemed “multi-disciplinary team” of “gender specialists” was willing, with enthusiasm—while ignoring mental health concerns, history of sexual trauma, and rapidly escalating surgical requests—to prescribe life-altering medications and perform surgeries to remove my breasts, uterus, and vagina, close my vaginal opening, and attempt a complex surgery with high failure and complication rates to create a functionless representation of a penis that destroys the integrity of my arm or thigh in the process.

This describes the supposedly meticulous, lengthy, and safety-focused process that a Kaiser patient must undergo to embark on a journey to medically alter their body. No clinician questioned my motivations. No one showed concern that I might be addressing a mental health issue through radical and irreversible interventions that wouldn’t address my amorphous problems. There were no discussions about how these treatments would impact my long-term health, romantic relationships, family, or sex life. I charted the course. The clinicians followed my lead without question. The guiding issue was what I wanted to look like.

No other medical field operates with this level of carelessness and disregard for patient health and welfare. No other medical field addresses issues of self-perception with surgery and labels it “medically necessary.” No other medical field is this disconnected from the reality of the patients it serves.

Kaiser has traded medicine for ideology. It’s far beyond time we stop the ruse of considering “gender-affirming” interventions as anything approaching medical care.

This isn’t the first time Kaiser Permanente has been in the news for completely disregarding medical safeguards in the name of “gender-affirming care.” As girls, Chloe Cole and Layla Jane became convinced that they were born in the wrong body and were actually boys on the inside. Doctors at Kaiser ignored their underlying conditions and instead prescribed testosterone and removed their breasts. Both Cole and Jane have since detransitioned and are currently suing Kaiser.

The fact that children and vulnerable adults are being exploited in this massive ideological experiment is not just tragic; it’s deeply disturbing, especially considering it has evolved into a billion-dollar industry.

I hope that by sharing my story, I can bring more focused scrutiny to the medical scandal unfolding not just at Kaiser but also at medical centers and hospitals across the Western world. These institutions have completely abandoned medical safeguards for patients who claim to be confused about their “gender,” and I aim to awaken more parents and assist them in protecting their children.

This is completely insane.

Apologists online are running around saying, but she didn't mean it, she was lying, she was pretending...

It doesn't matter.

Any kind of security, penetration or integrity test is insincere too. When security researchers compromise Microsoft's operating system or Google's browser or whatever, "but they didn't mean it" is not a defence to a discovered security flaw. It doesn't matter that the security researchers didn't plan to steal data or money or identities. The flaw in the system is there regardless.

It doesn't matter that it was insincere. Because the workers didn't know that. They never checked, never asked questions, never tested. They had been taught and instructed to never ask any questions. They did what they were supposed to. And the system failed spectacularly. Because that's what "gender affirming care" means.

Additionally, the claim that Beth Bourne committed fraud is an outright lie. A patient cannot bill. They do not have the authority. The medical clinic is the only one that can bill, and they must supply a diagnosis and a medical necessity.

If they didn't diagnose her and just wrote down what she said, then they committed fraud. If they claim they did diagnose her, then they committed fraud, because the diagnosis they concocted was bogus. This, by the way, is actually going on. Clinics are reporting fake endocrine and other disorders to get blockers, hormones and other interventions. Jamie Reed and other whistleblowers have documented evidence of this. Beth Bourne is not responsible for what the clinic does. They have medical licenses and legal responsibility. Not her.

Additionally, anyone who actually read the article would know how she tested the system. She said things like, "I've always been not that feminine. So, maybe I get my boobs removed." And they said, "sure." Instead of saying, "wait, why do you think that?" Framing it as her lying is itself a lie. They violated their ethical obligations. That much is incontrovertible. And it's directly the result of "gender affirming care," where clinics and clinicians rubber-stamp anything deemed "trans" based entirely on ideological, not medical, grounds.

Magdalena Rodriguez-Ortega, 23 (USA 1994)

“I knew I screwed up.” That’s what abortionist Suresh Gandotra said about the day he was doing an abortion and he pulled out his client’s bowel instead of fetal body parts.

Magdalena Ortega-Rodriguez was 23 years old when she went to an abortion facility on December 8, 1994. She had no idea that she would never walk out of the building. What she received from El Norte Clinica Medica was not medical treatment but a horrific death for her baby and herself.

The abortionist was Gandotra, who had already mutilated an abortion client in 1991 so severely that surgeons had trouble identifying which organ was which. Yet he was still allowed to continue his career as an abortionist long enough to mutilate and kill Magdalena.

On that day, Gandotra called a hospital and asked for directions to send Magdalena there in a car. The staff at the hospital heard the description of her condition and told Gandotra that Magdalena needed an ambulance. The hospital started assembling a team for the catastrophic injuries and waited to receive their patient.

Gandotra left the bleeding Magdalena unmonitored and alone while he did more abortions on his other clients. After half an hour, he finally called an ambulance. But when he called, he did not inform them that there was a team at a hospital already preparing to treat her.

Paramedics found Magdalena in ventricular fibrillation, with no pulse, bleeding, and on the floor. Because they were not told about the hospital that was awaiting this critically injured patient, they took Magdalena to another hospital that was not prepared to treat a patient with her specific injuries. Gandotra didn’t tell the paramedics anything about Magdalena’s condition or send her medical history.

A nurse at the hospital that attempted to treat Magdalena said, “I’ve never seen anything like this before and I don’t want to again.” When Magdalena was rushed into surgery, it was discovered that her cervix, uterus, bladder and colon were all lacerated. Her uterus was ruptured with a severed limb from her baby protruding into her abdomen. When the surgeon opened Magdalena’s peritoneum, the operating room was spattered with escaping blood because the peritoneum was so distended with blood.

Magdalena bled to death during her emergency surgery. Her cause of death was listed as “complications of the acute pelvic injuries which consisted of lacerations of the lower uterus, vagina, bladder and colon.” Her baby’s corpse was also autopsied with equally disturbing results. Not only had Gandotra dramatically miscalculated gestational age, but the autopsy report described “the body of the baby was not complete when autopsied. Both arms had been cut off; the heart, lungs, liver, and other organs had been cut out, the front of the chest and abdomen were missing, the right femur was fractured, the head was intact except for an area on the scalp which had been taken off from the back of the head.”

Gandotra told the medical board that he delayed calling an ambulance because he had no admitting privileges and claimed that the patient had asked to be released so she could walk home. Gandotra’s attorney said, “We don’t believe this was below the standard of care nor do we believe it was malpractice.” Despite these claims, the abortion facility was shut down.

If this was Gandotra’s idea of the standard of care for “safe and legal” abortion, what would he have to had done to a client for him to admit malpractice?

now i have an idea to write (consensusal) unhinged/r.a.c.k mina/jack/jonathan but also none of the parties wants jack getting pregnant by jonathan in particular but he still will take the risk and my struggle™️ is not easily finding good sources for victorian birth control/practices regardless of legality 😔 this wasn't in my 2022 bingo etc

CORRECTION: Contraception was made illegal in the US at the time. I've heard people say this was true of the UK too, but I literally cannot find any corroborating sources. So, Mina et al probably just used whatever they felt like for birth control.

And there were a lot of options!

Family planning was a big deal and Jack's got two prescriber licenses and pharmacies were not exactly the dystopian white wall spaces we have today.

So, you can easily justify him having access to any of the following:

'Cervical/womb veils' icluding the entire range of what today we call internal condoms, diaphragms and cervical caps. Rubber technology was good enough by 1845 to make these fairly widespread. My understanding is, they were generally more popular with married women than working girls, which makes sense given how finnicky they are.

Cervical injection, aka using a needle to wash the cervix out with a spermicidal solution after sex. This was actually considered rather Old Fashioned by the 1890s but would have been well known.

External condoms were more popular in the US, but fortunately Jack's good friend Quincey would know all about that. They had been made of animal products or treated fabric for centuries, but the more durable, comfortable rubber ones we use today had been invented by the 1870.

Vaginal sponges either dry to absorb semen or, more effectively, soaked in oils to reduce sperm mobility and spermicidal chemicals.

Spermicidal suppository: A newcomer by the 1890s, these were popular but among the most inconsistent methods available.

Hormonal methods were rare. Hormones were only identified in 1890 and wouldn't even be named for another 15 years. But, they weren't unknown, just poorly understood. Mostly, these were used for abortion, not contraception.

Additionally, basically all of the methods of abortion we have today existed in less advanced forms then. Assuming Jack still menstruates regularly enough to notice the delay, he could probably self-administer a vacuum removal with tools available at the time.

Otherwise, VH would certainly be able to administer any other methods, including induced miscarriage and menstruation, which today we tend to do with a combination misoprosotl/mifeprestone tablet, and at the time would likely involve those 'poorly understood' hormonal treatments.

THE FOLLOWING IS OUTDATED MEDICAL INFORMATION. IF YOU NEED AN ABORTION IN A RESTRICTED AREA, PLEASE DO NOT TRY THESE. THEY SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY UNDER MEDICAL SUPERVISION AS THE RISK OF POISONING IS HIGH. NONE OF THESE ARE AS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE AS MODERN MEDICINES.

All of these methods assume Jack would be able to identify conception within one month of intercourse.

Citrus juice diet (controlled vitamin C overdose). Highly unpleasant. Causes massive digestive pain. Interferes with progesterone production and can prevent implantation or cause miscarriage early in pregnancy. Purified vitamin c wasn't a thing yet, and citric acid (not ascorbic) is responsible for most of the side effects.

Parsley juice and pessary: Used alongside citrus juice to soften the cervix allowing the miscarriage, if induced, to pass more easily. If used immediately after sex, can sometimes cause menstruation early, preventing implantation.

Cotton root (like, from a cotton plant) at high enough doses can cause uterine spasms, which may be enough to expel a fertilized egg.

Wild carrot seed. DO NOT CONFUSE FOR HEMLOCK WHEN FORAGING. Another implantation inhibitor, generally used from the time of the sex until menstruation occurs naturally, so more of an emergency contraception than anything. Also more popular in the US, since the wild carrot grows so well here it borders on invasive.

Early detection of cancer is crucial for several reasons:

Increased Treatment Options: When cancer is detected early, there are often more treatment options available. Early-stage cancers may be more responsive to treatment and may require less aggressive therapies, resulting in better outcomes and fewer side effects.

Improved Survival Rates: Early detection generally leads to better survival rates. Cancers that are diagnosed at an early stage are more likely to be treated successfully, leading to higher chances of long-term survival and even cure.

Reduced Morbidity and Mortality: Early detection can help prevent cancer from spreading to other parts of the body, reducing the risk of complications and improving overall quality of life.

Lower Treatment Costs: Treating cancer in its early stages is often less costly than treating advanced-stage cancers. Early detection can help reduce the financial burden on individuals, families, and healthcare systems.

Easier Treatment: Early-stage cancers may require less aggressive treatments, such as surgery or localized therapies, which may be less physically and emotionally taxing on patients.

Overall, early detection plays a pivotal role in improving cancer outcomes, reducing mortality rates, and enhancing the effectiveness and tolerability of treatments. This underscores the importance of regular cancer screening and awareness of early signs and symptoms.

Several screening methods are available for various types of cancer. Here are some common ones:

Breast Cancer:

Mammography: X-ray imaging of the breast tissue to detect abnormalities.

Clinical Breast Exam: Physical examination of the breasts by a healthcare provider.

Cervical Cancer:

Pap Smear: Collection of cells from the cervix to detect abnormal changes.

HPV Testing: Screening for high-risk strains of human papillomavirus, which can cause cervical cancer.

Colorectal Cancer:

Colonoscopy: Visual examination of the colon and rectum using a flexible, lighted tube.

Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT): Tests for the presence of blood in stool samples.

Stool DNA Test: Detects DNA changes in stool samples that may indicate colorectal cancer.

Prostate Cancer:

Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Test: Blood test measuring levels of PSA, a protein produced by the prostate gland.

Digital Rectal Exam (DRE): Physical examination of the prostate gland through the rectum.

Lung Cancer:

Low-Dose Computed Tomography (LDCT): X-ray imaging of the lungs to detect abnormalities in high-risk individuals, such as heavy smokers.

Skin Cancer:

Visual Inspection: Regular self-examination of the skin to detect changes in moles or other skin abnormalities.

Dermatologist Examination: Professional examination of the skin by a dermatologist.

Ovarian Cancer:

Transvaginal Ultrasound: Imaging test using sound waves to examine the ovaries for abnormalities.

CA-125 Blood Test: Measures levels of CA-125, a protein that may be elevated in ovarian cancer.

Choice of screening method may depend on factors such as age, sex, family history, and individual risk factors. Screening guidelines may also vary among different organizations and regions. Get the best treatment for cancer and a full body health checkup done at the best hospitals in India.

The Importance of Regular Gynecological Cancer Screenings

In reality as we know it where wellbeing frequently takes a secondary lounge to our warmed ways of life, it’s important to clear light on the importance of regular gynecological cancer screenings. Dr. Kunnal Shinde, a recognized Gyneac Cancer Specialist in Pune, Maharashtra, emphasizes the significance of ending the quiet by wrapping these screenings. In this blog, we explore why regular gynecological cancer screenings are a must for a healthy and peaceful.

Gynecological Cancer: The Silent Threat:

Dr. Kunaal shinde tells about gynecological cancers, including cervical, ovarian, uterine, cervical, and vaginal cancers, which impact millions of women worldwide. often develop silently, without detectable signs in the early stages. While these cancers can be devastating, in any case, fortunately, large numbers of them are preventable or treatable when seen early. This silent progression makes regular screenings a strong tool in early detection, drastically improving the chances of successful treatment. This is where common gynecological cancer screenings come in.

What are gynecological cancer screenings?

Gyneac Surgical oncologist in Pune, Dr. Shinde tests that specialists use to search for early signs of cancer in the reproductive organs. Dr. Kunnal Shinde is concerned with various screening methods, such as Pap smears, HPV tests, pelvic exams, mammograms, and genetic testing, underlining their roles in specifying possible risks. By providing exhaustive information on these screenings, we aim to fit women with the knowledge needed to make informed judgments about their health.

The most standard types of screenings include:

Pap test: This test checks for irregular cells on the cervix, which can be a precursor to cervical cancer. It is usually done every 3-5 years for women aged 21-65.

HPV test: This test notices the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV), which is the main risk factor for cervical cancer. It’s often connected with the Pap test for women aged 30 and above.

Pelvic exam: This exam allows Dr. Shinde to feel for any lumps or masses in your uterus, ovaries, or fallopian tubes. It is usually done during your annual well-woman exam.

Transvaginal ultrasound (TVU): This test uses sound waves to create images of your uterus and ovaries. It may be used to screen for ovarian cancer in women at high risk.

CA-125 blood test: This test estimates the level of a protein called CA-125 in your blood. While not a typical test for ovarian cancer, it can be used to help observe women who are at high risk.

Why are gynecological cancer screenings important?

Early detection saves lives: Gynecological malignant changes repeatedly don’t display side effects until they come at cutting edge phases. By the time signs appear, treatment options become limited, and the forecast declines. Screenings catch precancerous cells or early-stage cancers, allowing for timely intervention and improved results.

Peace of mind: Normal screenings give true serenity, realizing you’re assuming command over your wellbeing. Early detection can help anxiety and allow you to focus on enjoying life to the fullest.

Improved treatment options: Early-stage cancers offer a wider range of treatment options, often less invasive and with higher success rates. This means more limited recuperation times and better personal satisfaction during and after treatment.

Who should get screened?

Dr. Kunnal Shinde Suggests all women should get screened for cervical cancer, starting at age 21. The suggested screening schedule may vary depending on your age, risk aspects, and medical record. Talk to our Gyneac Surgical oncologist in Pune about the best screening schedule for you.

What are the benefits of gynecological cancer screenings?

Dr. Kunnal Shinde Suggests many benefits of gynecological cancer screenings, including:

Early detection of cancer: Screenings detect early cancers or precancerous alterations before any symptoms appear. This implies that there is potential for simpler, more effective treatment with greater rates of cure.

Improved survival rates: Early detection can seriously improve the possibilities of successful therapy and cure.

Peace of mind: Knowing that you are cancer-free can give you peace of mind.

What are the risks of gynecological cancer screenings?

Dr. Kunnal Shinde is the best gynecologist in Pune. he is signify cancer screenings are generally secure. However, there are some possible risks, such as:

Discomfort: Some screenings, such as pap tests, can be painful.

False negatives: A false negative is a test result that suggests cancer is not current when it is. This can delay diagnosis and therapy.

False positives: A false positive is a test result that indicates cancer is present when it is not. This can cause stress and worry.

What can I do to reduce my risk of gynecological cancer?

There are a few things you can do to decrease your risk of gynecological cancer, such as:

Getting vaccinated against HPV

Holding a healthy weight

Not smoking

Limiting alcohol intake

Exercising regularly

Conclusion:

Regular gynecological cancer screenings are important in the fight against silent and potentially killer conditions. Dr. Kunnal Shinde’s expertise underscores the need for proactive measures, early detection, and education to break the quiet surrounding gynecological cancers. By prioritizing regular screenings, women can take control of their health and well-being, providing a brighter and more beneficial future.

Ovarian Cancer Diagnostics Market is projected to reach USD 1,836.03 million during the forecast period to 2029

The tests and procedures used to diagnose ovarian cancer includes the pelvic exam, imaging tests, blood tests, surgery and among others. During a pelvic exam, the doctor inserts gloved fingers into the vagina and simultaneously presses a hand on your abdomen in order to feel (palpate) your pelvic organs. The doctor also visually examines the vagina, cervix and external genitalia. Ovarian cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the ovaries, there are several types of ovarian cancer, the most common of which is epithelial ovarian cancer. The primary cause of this type of cancer is uncontrollable cell growth in the ovarian tissue, and it is one of the leading causes of death in women worldwide. It is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide, and the tenth leading cause of cancer death in women in the United States.

Drivers

Novel biosensor for monitoring ovarian cancer tumors will promote growth Carcinoma antigen 125 (CA 125) has been identified as a clinical glycoprotein/biomarker for the early detection of ovarian cancer. As a result, accurate carcinoma antigen 125 determination is critical for cancer diagnosis and treatment. To detect the carcinoma antigen 125 biomarker in human plasma samples, a new biosensor was developed. The surface morphology of the electrode was investigated using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to investigate the mechanism of nano-ink production. The formation of an antigen-antibody complex was also monitored using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). For detecting the carcinoma antigen 125 biomarker, the designed immunosensor performed well, with excellent specificity and sensitivity. Therefore, based on the results, it is concluded that immunosensor has the potential to be employed in the early detection of ovarian cancer in clinical studies. These all are the novel biosensors which helps the market to grow.

Increased prevalence of ovarian cancer in the number of elderly women The growing economies of both developed and developing countries are driving the expansion of healthcare. As a result, they are assisting in the advancement of the global ovarian cancer diagnostics market. The global ovarian cancer diagnostics market is expected to grow as the incidence of ovarian cancer rises, new treatments and therapies become more widely available, and healthcare spending rises. Ovarian cancer has become more common as the female population has aged. The ovarian cancer market is being driven forward by rising ovarian cancer prevalence, the introduction of new medications and therapies, increased healthcare expenditure, and increased government funding.

These instagram posts from the Talk Peach gynaecological charity show how visuals can be made without necessarily making someone uncomfortable when looking at them. Although I feel as though subjects like this should not be taken lightly, I do appreciate that there are people who are not used to these types of conversations.

My awareness campaign would include normalising getting looked at by a gynaecologist as well as normalising the conversations that happen. Young females especially shouldn't feel uncomfortable speaking about these issues and so eliminating the stigma that these sorts of things should be kept private is key.

Censorship around these sorts of topics only enforces those stigmas.

The five-year survival rate for ovarian cancer in New Zealand is 39%. It has a 70% chance of recurrence post treatment, the survival statistics for ovarian cancer have remained virtually unchanged for 30 years. This is literally a crisis point in terms of advancement in survival rates for cancers.

Breast cancer used to have a similar outlook but now thanks to incredible advocacy, large scale fundraising and an immense amount of research the breast cancer 10 year survival rate is 75% if a lump is the first sign or 92% if detected via a regular mammogram.

We believe with better funding this can be achieved for ovarian cancer too.

Shockingly over the past 3 years the government has funded $0.00 to research (out of a half billion government allocation) on one of our highest cancer killers.

1 New Zealander dies from it every 48 hours.

Only 4 out of 10 diagnosed with ovarian cancer will survive five years after diagnosis. This compares to 9 in 10 women surviving breast cancer in the same period. Because there is no screening test for ovarian cancer, early diagnosis is your best chance at survival, a late diagnosis is very hard to beat.

from @talkpeach on instagram

Most people are diagnosed once the cancer has already spread, making it more difficult to treat. There are often delays in diagnosing ovarian cancer, that is because there is no screening test, huge gaps in awareness and symptoms are often confused with symptoms of other less severe illnesses, particularly gastrointestinal complaints.

Five-year ovarian cancer survival rates vary around the world, they range from 30% to 45%. In new Zealand they are at 38% compared to Australia at 45%. By comparison the five year survival rates for women with breast cancer range from 80% to 92%. Ovarian cancer is overlooked and underfunded, yet all those with ovaries are at risk of developing this disease.
