Symphysiotomy Alive.

Women were also used as clinical material to train staff bound for overseas. 
One woman reported seeing a camera in the operating theatre at the Lourdes Hospital just before she lost consciousness. The low cost operation was seen as invaluable, especially for trainees from developing countries, in hospitals that aimed to become international training centers. Regulatory failure allowed the practice of this mutilating surgery for half a century. Hospital reports detailing these operations were ignored. Allowed practice due to false claims that Cesarean section was unsafe until the 1960s practice continued up-till 1994. 

Symphysiotomy was performed for medical reasons are still being made. Official briefs continue to reflect the myths propagated by Health department, which has allowed itself to be captured by the body whose members committed these atrocities, namely, the Institute of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. This x ray was never offered and women usually succumbed to pain.

The courts represent survivors’ sole route to truth and justice. But actions that are brought outside the time limit cannot succeed. The clock runs from the time that you become aware that your injuries resulted from wrongdoing or negligence. In some cases, the date of that knowledge is unclear. These were covert operations. three or four decades elapsed in most cases before women understood that their pelvises had been broken. Many were having a first baby, and knew nothing about childbirth. 

All of these women, without exception, assumed, or were told, that whatever was done was necessary to save the life of the baby. The medical profession closed ranks, in general. Few admit any connection between women’s ill-health and their symphysiotomies. 
The knowledge that this was wrongful surgery came slowly and painfully, in fragments heard in the media or read in a newspaper. Accepting that one has been abused is difficult there was denial of symphysiotomies this was easier but Art Views only question is as see bone pulled out is how? Most survivors say only song that relates to this ordeal is the song sounds of silence this is from Simon and Garfunkel.
