Dr. Joanne Hammond
As a medical clerk on surgery in 1982, Jo-Anne Hammond recognized that the woman on the surgical floor didn’t have a rectal shelf. It was a pessary! She suggested it to be removed to reassess the rectal findings, but the resident neither knew how to do it nor cared to try. The woman continued on with her G.I. investigations.
Knowledge about pessaries in a family practice is imperative. Learning how to remove, clean and re-insert pessaries is important and helps some women immensely. That’s what you’ll learn today! Plus tips and tricks to help women do their own pessary care.
Jo-Anne Hammond is a professor in family medicine and OB/GYN and has practiced in London for the past 39 years.
