@AlyFixit @the_polyphony I’ll message you! I’d love to contribute again.

I had no support person with me because I was told it would be a quick pinch. I hear about friends who have had great exp at the hospital, but I can never trust the facility again. Second insertion w/ a doc (who validated my traumatic exp) went much better.

[Dr. Hillary Ash @hillaryaash]

My first insertion was traumatic. I had it done at a *women’s hospital* and was told by the doctor that if I couldn’t handle the pain then I better not have children. It took 3 tries, and they threatened not to insert it if I couldn’t manage on the next try.

TIL during the 1918 flu pandemic, WWI soldiers who died from flu were listed as military casualties, artificially deflating mortality data. Just another way the 1918 flu became one of many #HiddenEpidemics.
