This is one of
those books you can read in an hour, but that doesn’t mean it’s fluff. Written
by an OB/GYN, it’s full of facts about female reproductive organs and more.
Sixty-nine subjects, sixty-nine facts. Most topics are only a couple of pages
long. Dr. Wolf covers the embarrassing subjects we’re shy of asking as well as
telling how to get the most out of a visit to the doctor’s office. She tells
how to make sure you don’t have a long wait at the dr. office: be the first
appointment of the day. What to douche with: nothing. Ever. What some of those
odd pains are.
I do have to
take issue with one of her entries: she says that doctors don’t judge patients
for what they do. She and her colleagues may not, but some doctors do judge. I’ve
had it happen to me. I’ve been judged for things I wasn’t even doing, and it’s
not pleasant. And she takes the Dr. House attitude on patients: everybody lies.
If you tell a doctor that you have one drink a day, they will assume you
actually have two drinks a day. They are taught to do this. To assume every
single patient lies seems rather judgmental to me. Still, there are a lot of good
facts in here, especially for young women.
