In 1975, a Baltimore gynecologist admitted to the New York Times: “Some of us aren’t making a living, so out comes a uterus or two each month to pay for the rent.”

A doctor, on the record, explaining why he removes women’s organs. Not because they’re diseased. Because he needs the income.

I encountered that quote in Robert Mendelsohn’s Male Practice, one of two books that changed how I understood medicine’s relationship with women. The other was Nora Coffey’s The H Word, which documented what happened when the HERS Foundation gave over 5,000 women—whose doctors had recommended hysterectomy—access to second opinions. Only 2% proceeded with the surgery. Ninety-eight percent of those hysterectomies were unnecessary.

The pattern Coffey documented—one intervention creating conditions for the next—was the same pattern I later recognized in Dr. Amandha Dawn Vollmer’s work on obstetrics. Modern obstetrics doesn’t rescue women from dangerous births. It creates the dangers, then takes credit for the rescue
