I am a Family Doctor and I want to keep a promise made to a patient. 

Julie was a healthy, post-menopausal woman in my care who came in for a periodic health examination. One of my routine questions, in what is called the “Review of Systems”, was to ask if she had experienced any vaginal bleeding. 

She said “No” but then laughed and added, “Other than when my period came back for a few months last year”. 

All health care professional are taught early on that ‘vaginal bleeding in a post-menopausal woman is Cancer of the Uterus until proven otherwise’. This comment by Julie was, therefore, a red flag (no pun intended) prompting further questions, an examination and an ultrasound of her pelvis. 

Julie was surprised to see me so concerned, especially since the symptoms had not recurred over many months. 

Sure enough, a pelvic ultrasound and tissue sampling confirmed Cancer of the Uterus. 

Julie underwent a hysterectomy and radiation therapy. She is now healthy, cancer-free and is expected to stay that way. 

After all this was done, Julie sat ME down for a talk. She told me she’d had no idea a ‘short return’ of her period after menopause was a danger signal. Furthermore, she addressed the topic with friends over coffee and discovered that, out of 20 women, NONE of them knew this symptom was abnormal! She admonished me to “Tell women this! Don’t assume we know it!”

From that day on, I have kept Julie’s advice in mind when talking with post-menopausal patients. But recently my wife suggested that I should take this to a wider audience. 

So, Julie, this is for you:

If you are a post-menopausal woman and your period ‘comes back’ or you have even one episode of vaginal bleeding, TELL A HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL and insist on having it investigated! 

Wishing you all good health and long lives. End image description.]

the reason it's difficult to argue abortion with anti abortionists is because for the statement "women's right to bodily autonomy is more important than a stranger's life" to make sense to you, you have to already believe that

women are full human beings (even when they're not wives or mothers)

women have zero moral obligation to sacrifice themselves or produce offspring for society

there is no divine purpose to female anatomy and the purpose of a woman's body is entirely determined by her own self.

women have an unconditional right to defend themselves from violence and suffering of any kind

they legit cannot wrap their heads around that

читая главы кейтлин перед красной свадьбой испытываю то же, что и при прочтении глав неда перед казнью в первой книги

сколько планов строится, сколько надежд... я знаю, чем все закончится, но может нет?? 😭пожалуйста, пусть случится волшебство и они выживут

Let's put a moratorium on men painting, drawing, or photographing naked women for 10 years and the number of men who claim to be artists will drop by like, 80%. The remainder will be gay men and landscape artists.

basically a lot of my problems boil down to me being really bad at waking up. and also really bad at going to sleep

it’s so important to follow people on tumblr who watch tv shows that you do not watch because sometimes they will put gifsets of beautiful women on your dash and you get to look at them
