This one's mostly for the ladies...

I found an article that I really want to pass on. I hope you ladies will read it through. It talks about the current healthcare system and how to navigate through areas of corruption (and, I think, intimidation) to really receive quality care. I especially appreciated the section entitled "Good medicine requires patience" that addressed the widespread use of the HPV vaccine. I really like the website Women to Women. They are "Western" doctors that are very holistic and practical, and also address social/cultural issues related to our health. I could say SO much more on this topic, but it's written much more eloquently there already, so I'll hold off for now.

Thanks Ariana for sharing this article. I have been really dealing with this issue for myself, but especially with Jacob as I don't always agree with what his pediatrician recommends.

This is a great article! I have gotten a lot from other articles on this website as well, I wish I could go to their clinic!
