    This is why I’m accelerating my plans for a hysterectomy by a year even though it will complicate quite a few things for me.

      I’m sorry the current state of things has made it necessary for you. It’s especially frustrating when so many medical procedures are called “unnecessary” by the health insurance industry, but truly unnecessary surgery is being made necessary by the same people’s political choices.

        Thankfully, I do meet criteria for medical necessity, it’s just a matter of getting it done in the middle of medical school instead of when I’m done with everything and actually have a substantial amount of time off for full recovery.
