"The Creation and Circulation of Evidence and Knowledge in American Medicine through the Lens of the "Husband's Stitch
Physicians in the twentieth century routinely used episiotomy—a cut made during childbirth—to better facilitate labor, using the evidence of their experiences that it was useful. But physicians were not alone in producing evidence regarding episiotomy and its repair. Here I consider how three groups—male physicians, husbands, and laboring women—were involved in creating evidence and circulating knowledge about episiotomies, specifically, the inte…
Expanding Underrepresented in Medicine to Include Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Individuals
In 2003, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) stopped using the term “underrepresented minority” and instead adopted “underrepresented in medicine.” This was not the first time the AAMC revised this definition. In this article, the authors call on the AAMC to revise and expand this definition to include another group that is underrepresented in medicine: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) individuals. It is diff…
Using a game for undergraduate global health students in the United States to practice applying ethical research principles
Global health programmes have become quite popular within universities in the United States. But despite the growth in undergraduate programming in global health, the training of American undergraduates to ensure they engage ethically when conducting research in a low- or middle-income country has not followed. I teach a course in global bioethics and developed the board game described in this article as a means of engaging students in active, pe…

Melissa Graboyes, The Experiment Must Continue
In The Experiment Must Continue, Melissa Graboyes explores the history of medical encounters between British researchers and East African subjects during and after colonial rule. Following a chapter on perceptions of research in East Africa, the book is organised around the typical progression of an experiment, with the initial chapter looking at the arrival of the researchers. This chapter is followed by one on enrolling subjects, either through…

Female Sexuality and Consent in Public Discourse
The Organ‐That‐Must‐Not‐Be‐Named
The reference to the vagina as “it” or “down there” is symptomatic of two larger cultural problems: not naming the vagina when speaking about the vagina, and conflating the vagina with the external female genitalia. The euphemisms and obfuscating language have implications both for lay understandings of female bodies and for the practice of health care. Granting and using a name gives both the named and the namer power and legitimacy
