Last Friday at the health dept. while we were doing the outreach OB clinic, troops of kids started coming through the door asking for condoms about 2:00. My nursing assistant just said, "Oh yeah, it's an early dismissal day at the school." There's a fascinating installmant of Frontline that plays from time to time called "The Lost Children of Rockwell County". It's about how the health department got to the root of a huge syphilis epidemic in Conyers, GA (shortly before the school shootings there) and discovered that all the high school kids (or most of them anyway) were involved in massive orgies in the wealthiest mansions around town while the parents were at work or vacationing in Europe or whatever. It was absolutely riveting. A real eye-opener. -- Anna Meenan, MD At Thu, 22 May 2003, Joanne Bulley, MD wrote: > >Well - I realize that I am posting this after a lay person asked the >question ... but ... ther eis room for a discussion as I have had >these requests! > >I have had a number of teens and young women ask for this surgery.
