A few weeks ago I saw an old friend of mine from medical school. Not in the expected way of a text message, or a social media post, but in the clinic. She had just moved to the area and was looking on my group’s practice website and suddenly realized I was one of the physicians on staff. We had not seen each other in years. When I saw her name I was delighted. I changed the clinic schedule to make for a longer appointment.

When treating patients presenting with novel symptoms, front-line clinicians have to ask themselves an unwanted question: Could this unfamiliar illness be a sign of a new and emerging pathogen? If so, speed is a necessity; clinicians must identify, isolate, and inform in that order because the spread of pathogens can only be contained once they are diagnosed.

When I look back at my medical school anatomy textbook (Clemente), there is an incredible bias toward male anatomy. Medical education has consistently emphasized female reproductive anatomy and ignored vulvar anatomy, particularly clitoral nerve anatomy. This is a clear indication that medical education has historically seen women as “baby machines” and not as sexual beings. There has been a systemic disregard of anatomy critical to a woman’s sexual function.
