Hi.
This week my husband had a vasectomy. Great news as weve always been CF thinking people.
But, the pre op literature was filled with these 2 phrases:
''ensure you dont want to father ANY MORE children''
''dont play with your children in the evening post op -take it easy''
I find this offensive and I told them - they assume all patients have had kids and dont want more. they dont consider the CF. Now they are going to make amends to the literature so it was worth it.
Also, Ive had a few letters published in mags and emails read over the radio when Ive heard us called 'childless'' of similar. Ive written letters correcting them and talking about the CF and they've been published.
What Im saying is, wherever you see it, act to put the discrimination right!
