    Deliberately misdiagnosing women is rampant in the gynaecological industry. Fabricating cancer is one of the dirty tricks these shysters use to frighten healthy women into unnecessary radical hysterectomies. Some greedy gynaecologists will remove lymph nodes and/or your appendix while you are unconscious on the operating table, as the bigger the mutilation, the more the mutilator gets paid. Here in Australia many greedy gynaecologists are tricking women this way or telling menopausal women they need a hysterectomy.. One greedy gynaecologist in Bendigo tricked 4 sisters into unnecessary hysterectomies this way, and God knows how many more...

    In 1945, at a gynaecological convention, a speaker said: "Hysterectomy is a racket, where the majority were done for dubious reasons at best, and non-existent reasons at worst"...

    Fabricating cancer is one of the dirty tricks they use to frighten women into unnecessary radical hysterectomies.... You are welcome to post any information you may come across that will protect women from greedy gynaecologists who want to give them a hysterectomy. Remember 90% of all gynaecological surgery are unnecessary, especially hysterectomies and they make gyno's very, very rich and turn the women into high maintenance patients for life. Beware if they say you have cancer. That is one of their tricks to frighten women into these barbaric mutilations.
    I'm an advocate against unnecessary hysterectomies, and since up to 98% are done for dubious reasons at best and non-existent reasons at worst, I want to inform women about this fact....The cancer scare is one of the tricks gynaecologists use to frighten women into unnecessary hysterectomies...
    Many women are tricked this way, and when they are told they had no cancer, the women are so relieved that they never realize that they never did have cancer in the first place. They were victims of fraud and criminal malpractice by unscrupulous gynaecologists.....



    "As for laparoscopy, three out of every 1,000 of these procedures cause complications, and even death. Between 1995 and 1997, more than 500 patients suffered nearly 600 injuries and 65 died. A goodly number have to do with doctors being unable to use the equipment properly. In a survey of gynaecologists, one in every 25 had injured a major vessel during laparoscopy at some point in their career.
    One of the main culprits is the common use of the trocar (as sharp implement which withdraws fluids by puncturing the abdominal wall), which frequently injures major blood vessels and major organs, sometimes causing death due to vascular injuries".......

    MEN WHO CONTROL WOMEN'S HEALTH.. Diana Scully

    "Negotiating to do Surgery"
    After a potential patient was located, she had to be persuaded to have surgery. As one resident put it: "You have to look for your surgical procedures; you have to go after patients. Because no one is crazy enough to come and say, hey, here I am, I want you to operate on me. You have to sometimes convince the patient that she is really sick, and that she is better off with a surgical procedure."......"The residents' tactics, based on high volume, were similar to that of any effective sales person, regardless of the product; that is, the greater the number of contacts, the greater the probability of making a sale. This type of high-turnover sale was especially suited to the high-volume, quick turnover conditions in the clinics and emergency room. Like any sophisticated salesperson, a resident could judge within minutes whether a woman was going to buy a hysterectomy. When it appeared that she wasn't, he used another tactic. Residents believed that women would eventually accept surgery if they were given some time to think it over. Thus, after a resident had completed his pitch and the woman was still reluctant, he would tell her that he would call her in a week and discuss the surgery further. The woman was dismissed and the next prospective case was brought into the examining room. The entire interaction, including physical examination, usually took three or four minutes"..... "Once the woman agreed to surgery, she lost whatever power she previously had had - the power of refusal. The situation changed from one of negotiation to complete control by the resident. The patient was expected to trust the knowledge and wisdom of her doctor. She was not consulted on the form her surgery would take nor was it expected that she was capable of understanding medical-surgical mysteries. The resident, influenced by his own need for practice, decided what operation he would do. Women were not aware that there was a choice."....."Surgical teaching programs are having increasing difficulty finding subjects to learn on because they greatly depend on the availability of ward or indigent patients and with increased third-party payments, the number of such patients is shrinking. As a consequence, residents in many city hospitals have done more "selling."......." To improve my surgical technique and to get a chance to do some of the surgeries that we don't get a chance to do otherwise, I went for radical surgery where your dissect out everything; you look for everything".... "I do enjoy it, and think any doctor is lucky to do radical surgery"....."It is by mistakes that you grow and mature as a physician. You learn not to do it again; I think that is important. Because if I wasn't ever going to make any mistakes, there wouldn't be any reason for me to spend four years being a resident"....."I don't know if you can call it a mistake or something that you aren't experienced with and do something wrong. You can't call it a mistake. It's inexperience. If you aren't taught something, you can't do it."....

    ........MY HORROR STORY.......
    I was one of those lucky women who never suffered any gynaecological problems in the 58 years I had my precious female organs. I trusted the female doctor who did my yearly Pap smear (which she insisted I have every year, despite never, ever having abnormal cells). I did not know she was in cahoots with corrupt gynaecologists looking for easy prey to use for greed and training material. She forced me into seeing a gynaecologist writing that I had post-menopausal bleeding, which was a blatant lie, as I NEVER had a single drop of blood since my menopause finished 5 1/2 years before. She would not take "NO" for an answer. She did everything to gain my trust, so I didn't understand what was going on. She wore me down until I gave in. I went to the gynaecologist she referred me to so he could examine me, say I'm fine and send me home. I'd never seen him before in my life. As soon as I sat down, he opened the referral, and the first words out of his mouth was: "You have bleeding. I'm giving you a curette." I was shocked. He didn't ask me one single question, and he didn't examine me. I said I had no bleeding, and I was not having a curette, but he would not take "NO" for an answer. He already had me booked in for a curette. And unbeknownst to me he also gave me a hysteroscopy for extra profit..... I was not told that it is my choice. He manipulated and coerced me until I gave in. At the post-op appointment 2 weeks later, he said I had cancer and had to have a hysterectomy. He'd already sent the referral to MMC (a public hospital I had never been to before, and was not told Monash Medical Centre is a teaching hospital). I only went there to be examined, told I'm fine, and sent home. Martin Oehler., the Clinical Fellow in Gynaecology/oncology called me in after the waiting room was empty. He then mentioned the bleeding. I was so angry, I said: "Why do you people keep saying I had bleeding, when I hadn't had a single drop since my menopause finished over 5 years ago, until I was given the curette and bled for 3 days". He ignored me and told me he was going to take out my cervix, my uterus, my fallopian tubes, and my ovaries. And he was going to do it by laparoscopy, but still may have to cut me open." Again I was shocked. I said: I have no bleeding, I have no pain, I have no symptoms whatsoever, and begged for another option." He went berserk. His face was full of anger and contempt as he yelled at me: "YOU HAVE NO OTHER OPTION. YOU SHOULD CONSIDER YOURSELF LUCKY YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE CHEMOTHERAPY. NOT LIKE ALL THOSE WOMEN IN THE WAITING ROOM", and he flicked his hand toward the empty waiting room and said: "THEY WEREN'T SO LUCKY". I was shocked. He then answered every question I asked with: You'll be fine, and insisted I go in, in 2 days. Then he shoved a piece of paper in front of me and pointed where to sign. He did not go through one thing written on that form. I asked him if he'd done laparoscopy surgery before, and he looked me in the eye and told me he'd done hundreds that he could do them with his eyes closed. A blatant lie. I did not know that after I left he added on the form he forced me to sign that he may take out some pelvic lymph nodes as well. He sprung that on me just before the surgery. To make a long story short. He mutilated 6 healthy organs from my body, and God knows how many lymph nodes, as that was covered-up. He botched it beyond repair leaving me wailing in agony every day and bleeding out since he butchered me in June 2005. The morning after he slaughtered my organs, he smugly told me that I was as clean as a whistle. That all my removed organs had been healthy. The whole system took his side and did everything to discredit me and spread the word I was paranoid. They denied that I was in any pain, and kept sending me to psychiatrists who just kept pushing drugs on me and telling me they found nothing wrong in the tests when I kept telling them how much pain I'm in. I've never in my life been touched by such evil. I was a victim of fraud, and criminal medical malpractice, and my health and my life has been destroyed by those evil doctors. Why aren't women warned about these corrupt doctors who trick healthy women into unnecessary hysterectomies? This surgical racket has been going on for decades, and will never stop because as Dr Phil Hammond said: "The system is still geared to protecting doctors' reputations rather than protecting patients from unnecessary harm"...

    DrSuarna Mehulic.... Dear June, I am in this difficult situation because I objected such charlatans and their treatment of patients. Your story is unfortunately not uncommon. I have seen it before and I have seen situation where when unethical and unprofessional doctors take all reproductive organs of the patient and cause chronic pain due to botched and unnecessary surgeries. After that is done their next step is to refer patient to psychiatrist. It is absurd reality that these unethical , unprofessional people always get away with everything wrong they do , because they make revenue for the institutions. Most likely you asked yourself lots of time " why me" but I have to tell you that it is not only you. Only what I know for sure that until values such as honesty, accountability, humanity are surpassed by greediness, business oriented medicine , these issues will not get resolved. There were times when being physician was honored profession and being public servant was the most honored role in the society. I think values has been changed to most honored status of being rich instead. Possibly nationwide campaign to return these values to medicine is of uttermost importance in times to come !
    Respectfully
