this woman went in because she was having strange cramping.. and she had male features in her face.. and the doctors were unsure if she was a man or a woman.. or if she was a woman becoming a man or vice versa.. and anyways.. they ordered a CT scan or XRAY.. can't remember which.. and she was pregnant.. but she does have PCOS..it had a happy ending.. but the doctor called it PCOD.. Disease.. which made me cringe thinking about it.. but i guess their right it is a disease.. i was upset too though in some way because they were like "we didn't know if she was a man or a woman" and im kinda like she's a woman!!! DUH!!

I find it to be amazing that they couldnt tell what her gender was...this just goes to show that people, especially doctors should be further edcucated/trained in this area!!!!
I saw the episode that you are talking about & I was quite bothered by it. They portrayed the woman like she was some sort of freak. Then the doctor just casually/generically described PCOS. This is one time that I don't think that the "exposure" did us any favors.
