- When deciding upon any type of medical care, a full understanding of the
- "why's" and "wherefore's" is the best assurance of a proper decision. Since
- hysterectomy leads the list of frequently performed surgical procedures, many
- women face this decision each year. Often they must do so without the
- information that is necessary for a proper judgment. No longer! The New York
- State Department of Health, in cooperation with a number of consumer groups
- and professional medical organizations, has prepared the ultimate education
- booklet on the subject. In its 15 pages the reasons, benefits and risks, as
- well as descriptions of the different types of operation are discussed,
- accompanied by simple illustrations that help make the explanations totally
- understandable. You may get your copy of "Hysterectomy" by writing to
- Publications, New York State Department of Health, P.O. Box 2000, Albany, NY
- 12220.
