Would like to thank the checking in texts from mom friends and Hilary Duff’s new album for getting me to Friday of this hellish week

I have thought a lot about what that reporter (and others) must know but couldn’t include in the finished piece

The entire system should be held accountable for allowing this to happen, and I am shocked tbh that actions are being taken to hold people responsible. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Damages An ob-gyn in Virginia performed unnecessary surgeries on patients for decades. When his victims learned the truth, they fought back.

about a year ago, I reported a story on Javaid Perwaiz, a doctor who performed unneeded surgeries on women patients to collect the insurance money. This week, the federal government charged the hospital in relation to this case magazine.atavist.com/damages-java...
