Today we honor Anarcha Westcott. She was a 17 year ensląved girl who underwent roughly 30 operations without anesthesia for a vesicovaginal fistula ( abnormal connection between va.gina and bladder= urine coming through your v.agina).She healed after this surgery. James Marion Sim (we refuse to refer to him as doctor) was the r.acist man who performed these surgeries on her, and is denoted as the father of Gynaecology. However, we would like to say Anarcha is the mother of gynaecology. Without her strength, grit, and brąvery she wouldn't have survıved those procedures. We couldn't imagine doing surgery on someone wıthout some form of anesthesıa. Black history is Amerıca's hıstory. The story must be told even when it's not prętty.
