Description: In Misinformed Consent, Lise Cloutier-Steele joins twelve other survivors to speak about the prejudices and the traumas that accompanied their hysterectomies. Combining these moving personal experiences with reliable advice on alternative treatments, a medical terminology section for easy reference, a list of questions women should ask their doctors before agreeing to the surgery, and a comprehensive resources section, Misinformed Consent will empower women everywhere to demand better and more honest care.
