This genius substituted ‘erectile dysfunction’ for ‘menopause’ in the intro to that new Lancet editorial and I’m howling.

Military personnel are 11% female, mostly young/middle-years. They & their family members will need maternity care. Often are posted abroad or elsewhere in UK during pregnancy. When & where do we hear their voices? ⁦NCT⁩ ⁦British Intrapartum Care Society⁩
