%HESITATION I literally have the most wonderful job in the world I work with the most fantastic people on the planet para wives I see Stu's Arab Ortiz and there are mothers each day they invite me to join with them some of the most intimate and special moments have their lives they allow me to bring new life into the world but he's the con most of the
men who get pregnant all by themselves thank you nurture a fetus inside of the best part of a yeah letting go through labor and we don't call it that because it's so terribly easy and I look at me and say like I've done something so wonderful I should be thanking them and more I've rumbled and happy to take the credit when we look at the science
behind inception it's really a miracle any of us here you see women are born with one to two million aids by the time they get to puberty is only a couple hundred thousand left during that time of course of their life a release between three in four hundred but the quality these eggs is really really important and quality control live for I guess forms the backbone
of the hallmark the male reproductive biology let's contrast that the male his approach to reproductive biology is best described as shock and all instant news tour three hundred themselves over the course of a lifetime the man will release two hundred to three hundred million with each episode and I guess that's why we considered a pox on the semen analysis if ninety four percent of them look
completely abnormal less like scoring six out of a hundred and it's fifty percent can't even swim in the right direction but the difference is done and there you see if I have pelvic pain it's only gonna be one of two things a that my appendix is exploited and up finally paid attention to it or I've eaten far too much cheese and I'm constipated women have everything
I have in my pelvis aside from perhaps the cheese but I also have two ovaries choose cervix and vagina and perhaps the most incredible open in the body the uterus during the course of pregnancy the uterus will expand to several hundred times normal volume it then contracts and believe is a healthy baby and the placenta possibly the greatest thing ever made by mankind and it really
wasn't mankind so much is going to guide the placenta acts as the leader the lines explained the kidneys and place integral role even the developing immune system with the baby and it does all of this without a single nextel and it's not under the control of the brain so to recap I work with the most wonderful half of the gloves population and my specialty seeks to
study the two most amazing organs in the body but this is not why my job is just so wonderful you see so much of medicine is devoted to prolong life in fact the most likely time that any of it I have to spend you know hospital or undergoing a surgical procedure is in the last moments of ally not looks forget for a second as to whether
or not this is an appropriate for a sensible wife rest is a community be using our resources instead let's ask ourselves is this really Ohio would be spending my last moments in the hand out with the people that care about me and I care about well undergoing a surgical operation that in the discipline of admitting I'm involved with is largely about quality of life most of
my patients hot women in the prime of their lives twenties thirties forties fifties sixties who have truly debilitating medical condition a they have abnormal bleeding which means that I feel hot over time and can no longer wear white pants or they have incontinence which means I can't watch funny movies I got knocked around and interesting enough increase in risk off requiring nursing home care more than
anything else you can or they have severe and debilitating pelvic pain that stops them from doing the things that I enjoy neither thinking is all these things fixable and really start assuming a couple of weeks ago who are at the age of twenty eight developing comments after having a baby and that team was able to perform re retain fifty minute procedure on her and I would
say the next morning in the hospital so she could go home and she was sobbing or not really done I'm really sorry that we cause you some pain she said not only pain but I've been coughing terrific it's not my fault Liam the funnest will he sometimes what they do that a day throat while you're asleep is not what that it's it's a certain amenable to
coffin seeks he's without losing bladder control authoritative story for two reasons thought two points the fifties to just showcased just how human that which we do in health care is as precisely this human characteristic that protects us somewhat in health care and SK given from being automated machines I don't think we'll ever be completely able to do what eighties that waited and the second point he
sees did you Shari how early we are we know a lot but this time much more we need to knock the natural evolution of medical therapies these when we don't know a whole lot about something our approach is surgical I don't want peace earn hello like I'm gonna cut it out and throw it as understanding increases we develop pharmaceuticals cellmark's diamonds in the disease process we
