Dr. Phil

Body: 

A friend of mine told me she saw this woman on Dr. Phil who was complaining about her uterus falling out. She said she had a phobia about surgery. I looked for it online and found this-
Then, Dorine says her life has been unbearable ever since her uterus dropped out two years ago. She says she can’t exercise, go to the beach or even have sex because of her condition. Is surgery the only answer?
WHAT'S UP, DOC? PART TWO

but couldn't access the show- tonight I may search more. Anyway I was wondering if any of you guys saw this and WHY in the world they didn't have a non-surgical approach represented on the show.

What the heck man- Did we miss our opportunity to get this on TV?
I wonder if we could all write the Dr. Phil website and get a redo or something?

Well Alemama, it sure looks like an opportunity lost, but maybe Dr Phil would do a followup. No harm in asking, but I wouldn't hold my breath. First you would have to convince him that it works, then get him to eat humble pie and present something that is non-medical as an alternative. In ya dreams! But I will happily eat humble pie myself if I am wrong.

Humble, humble, humble. It can't be that bad being humble, can it?

I like your idea. I'm going looking for it too. It is unlikely to reach network TV in Oz for several months or years, but there might be something online.

EDIT: The transcript is at http://www.drphil.com/slideshows/slideshow/4543/?id=4543&showID=1108 . It's pretty sick the ways the doctors are all trying to think up ways the woman can overcome the anxiety that is stopping her from having the surgery. Yikes! My guess is that she will eventually have the surgery, then be on the program again three months later, saying how wonderful life now is. ... that's if life is wonderful for her. I really don't think Wholewoman work has the shock horror freak value that would be needed to be on that show.

I saw this show Alemama, at least I saw that part of it. Dr. Phil had 4 doctors on the show, a pediatrician, an emergency room doctor, a gynecologist and some other kind of doctor. They were answering questions for people in the audience. The gyno, of course, addressed the woman with the dropped uterus. She offered no other alternative than surgery. Dr. Phil had obviously never heard of such a thing before and I found it somewhat disturbing that he had no knowledge about what they were discussing on the show. He asked her if she meant she could turn around and look at her uterus when she said it dropped out of her body. Sad. The whole goal there was to help the woman get over her fear of the surgery. Like I said...sad. I like your idea of addressing this on the Dr. Phil Website. Couldn't hurt.
