Endometriosis Support Group

Endometriosis is a common medical condition where the tissue lining the uterus is found outside of the uterus, typically affecting other organs in the pelvis. The condition can lead to serious health problems, primarily pain and infertility. A major symptom of endometriosis is pain, mostly in the lower abdomen, lower back, and pelvic area.

Just thought I'd post this for anyone interested. Jezebel commented on the "garbage bag" incident with Dr. Drew.

What a f-ing a-hole!. Thanks for posting the link Apple. The sad thing is that so many other doctors, men and women doctors, have the same limited education and thoughts. Sad, sad...

When I told my mother what Dr Drew said (and I only knew thanks to the Endo community), she was furious, shocked and disgusted. We also found it very strange that the news media didn't pick up on this. Seriously, it's bad to attack someone's appearance (like skin tone) but perfectly alright to attack women with internal, unseen conditions?! I was born with my skin tone and I was born with Endo. You attack one part of me you attack all of it.

I don't lose sleep on this because, frankly, I didn't even know the guy had a radio show. Never watched him on tv either. Figure the intelligent part of our human species doesn't follow him either. :)
