S: Is for the social caring of Dr. Lauri Romanzi

"We live in a society that is at war with bodies. We allow women to become anything we want except women". Our bodies are meant to bear children between the ages of 16-24. That is when our bodies can repair themselves the quickest and with the least amount of damage.

There are times you are grateful to know certain individuals because they contribute so much and you feel blessed because you know them. I am blessed to know many of these amazing human beings. One of them is Dr. Lauri Romanzi who spends her time and money going to Africa to help women who have gone through child birth and ended up with fistula problems and are damaged sometimes beyond repair. Lauri is what's known as a plumbing specialist.

She doesn't remember a time when she didn't want to become a doctor. Her parents gave her medical kits and a life size nurse doll. When other children are asking for dolls, Lauri was performing surgery on them. Her love and infatuation of becoming a doctor is largely due to the fact she had a crush on Dr Kildare ie: Richard Chamberlain. At 18 she went to a gynecologist and had such a horrific experience that she decided then and there to become one. When she got to college it was the doctors who were less academically inclined that became either OBGYN's or General practice physicians. Makes you feel safe doesn't it to know that fact? Lauri wanted to change that. Did you know 80% of doctors go into plastic surgery, Internal Medicine, and Dermatology because that is where the money is? Lauri graduated and began teaching at Columbia, and Roosevelt. Her specialty urogynocology, plumbing, fistula and words I don't even understand. She then opened up her own private practice. Her new office is located at----- . She also started a blog to help women understand their own bodies.

We are not told how dangerous pregnancy is. The statistics are 1 in 1,800-4,000 die in America baring children and in a 3rd world country 1 in 10. It is unprecedented and not spoken about. Something we take as common place is actually taboo least the population stop. They say it takes a village to raise a child and that statement is true if you take what scientifically our bodies are meant to do. If we had a child at 16 the village raised it as we learned the necessities of life would this not make a more balanced world. We would care about others instead of fighting for the fittest to survive. There is no easy way out of full term pregnacy. No matter how you look at it your body is going to be damaged.

Lauri is on her way to starting a gynecological spa for women. Did you know if you do kagel exercises not only will it help you stay fit but your orgasms will be more intense? True! Dr. Lauri Romanzi is inspiring and that also is a F.A.C.T.
