-- I am 75, and they are using the same type examining table they used 50 years ago when I had my first child. I have had scores of gynological exams, but now it is dificult and painful to bend the legs and raise the legs to obtain an examination. Can't they develop some kind of pneumatic lift to help older patients "assume the position."
