description For the most part, gynecologists are actually unaware of the issues involving surrogate versus quality of life outcomes, the “deceptive practice of medicine” and the true incidence of complications as they relate to the standard of care. An anonymous survey of 1958 practicing gynecologists attending seven national symposia revealed a significant number of unreported complications. Clearly, the standard of care (at least with regard to complication risk) is markedly different than has been suggested by the medical literature. Concomitantly, we suggest that physicians need to take a more active role in the policing of our own specialties.
