Dr Reed was born in my town and through her advocacy saved lives of women by fighting against the use of morcellators for laparoscopic uterine removals. May she rest in peace. http://www.buckscountycouriertimes.com/news/local/dr-amy-reed-dies-fought-against-use-of-morcellators/article_49a19dba-4156-11e7-a36d-537a6a7812f2.html

Amy Reed RIP
Thank you so much for posting this. I have read much about Dr. Reed's campaign and how she was treated by her own medical community after raising her voice. I was hoping she woud make it. I am so sorry she did not.
Her story, and her and her husband's campaign revealed and raised more than one issue related to healthcare for women with gynecological problems. Will be praying for her children and husband.-j

You are right, Drienne, prayers for her husband and children.

It takes guts to go against the masses when you know you are right. Good lesson for all of us to stand up.
