For the women in pain, the people who love them, and the healthcare professionals trying to help them.
Doc: "You can't continue to take opiates for your periods."
Me: "I can't find anyone to give me a hysterectomy."
Doc: "I know a guy."
Me: "Go on..."
Doc: "My sister just got one in NYC, but you'll need cash up front. Will that be a problem?"
Me: "I can get the money."
The urgent care doc left the exam room to call her sister and came back with a pen-scrawled name on a folded piece of paper. I promised her I'd check it out. After years of trying every well-meaning and useless way of treating endometriosis (the most common disease you've never heard of), I was hanging by a thread at the constipated end of my pain rope. I had come to the urgent care packed with poo and resignation. I left with a bowel movement on the horizon and a slip of hope in my hand.

Treatment Plan: Pay $15,000 for private hysterectomy at beginning of semester-long sabbatical from teaching.
