Birth control pill approved 50 years ago

On 9 May 1960 the United States Food and Drug Administration approved the world's first birth control pill, a drug that has reshaped the cultural landscape in much of the world. The Pill allowed women to explore sexuality for the first time without fear of unwanted pregnancy. The anniversary invites a look at the questions surrounding oral contraception. One question for the anniversary is why, 50 years on, science has come up with a potency pill for men but not a male birth control pill.

Debate continues to rage on the Pill's health effects. In addition to worrisome side effects such as weight gain and nausea, the use of the Pill has been linked to a greater incidence of blood-clotting disorders. Researchers are also exploring possible links between hormonal contraceptives and cancer, infertility and sexual dysfunction.

Though health risks remain, the Pill has been widely accepted as the most satisfactory method of contraception, in part because of ease of use. By 2002, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 11.6 million American women were on the Pill, making it the nation's leading method of contraception. Research published in January in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology says that oral contraceptives have been used by about 80 percent of women in the United States at some point in their lives.

Development of impotence drugs, such as order cialis, cheap cialis and Levitra, have delivered blockbuster profits to the world's big drug companies. The absence of a birth control pill for men suggests the drugmakers have decided it would be a bad investment risk. China has come the closest to a Pill for men with a birth control injection that is producing promising test results.

Conditions were not propitious in the United States for the development of the Pill. In In 1873, the US Congress passed the Comstock Law, which forbade all forms of contraception. Margaret Sanger's advocacy of birth control helped, indirectly to bring funding to the researcher credited with the development of the oral contraceptive, Gregory Pincus in 1951. Nine years later, Enovid - the first Pill was approved. Four years after the FDA approved the Pill, the US Supreme Court struck down the Comstock law.

SSWAHS = SWSLHN + SLHN: Will it be different for the people of the Southern Highlands?

SSWAHS = SWSLHN + SLHN: Will it be different for the people of the Southern Highlands?

Well, apart from two rural LHNs, the Premier and Health Minister have decided upon who will be the Chief Executives of the other 16 Local Health/Hospital Networks.

At this time it is still unclear to the community members as to what will happen to the old SSWAHS Clinical Divisions and, more importantly, whether the people of the Southern Highlands will have the same access to the specialist inpatient beds which they had in the past. Or will the old Central Sydney AHS now re-branded as the Sydney Local cheap cialis Network (SLHN), manage to set up the barricades again?

Dr Victor Storm must be rubbing his hands with glee that he is back in his old stamping ground with control of his new, beaut "asylum" (you know, the one he said we should do without) the Concord Centre for Mental Health. I wonder if his vision of mental health (and treatment of the mentally ill) still extends southwards to Bowral cialis and the Southern Highlands.

It's yet too early to get the information as to "who's who in the zoo" when it comes to the lesser mortals in the new 18 Local Hospital/Health Networks. One of the other persons mentioned in this blog, notably for her prolonged silences, appears to have slipped off the radar when it comes to the top jobs. Surprisingly, Jan Whalan appears to have also slipped off the Christmas card list for the Premier and the Minister as she did not get one of the Chief Executive positions published by NSW Health to date. I guess she could still manage to swing into one of the two remaining rural LHNs - if she hasn't trodden on too many toes! Perhaps, (hopefully) Ms Jan Whalan is making a return to running a pharmacy somewhere!

One bright spot in the shuffle of chairs is that the new Chief Executive for the SWSLHN which, according to the blurb, runs from "Fairfield to Bowral" is none other than Ms Amanda Larkin.

Amanda Larkin started her rise up the ranks by being the General Manager of Bowral Hospital for a number of years. She was then asked to manage the Campbelltown/Camden Hospitals when there was a shake-up in the system there a few years ago. She presided over the Macarthur-Wingecarribee health services until the recruitment of the General Manager for Macarthur Health Service took place and then took up the permanent position of General Manager of the Macarthur Health Service, thereby allowing the hardworking Denis Thomas to be appointed to the Bowral Hospital as General Manager. Even though she may be relocating to the Liverpool Hospital campus in her new position as Chief Executive of the SWSLHN I'm happy to report that, unlike her predecessors, Amanda Larkin does know where Bowral is and where the rest of the health services in Southern Highlands happen to be.

Nevertheless, as residents of the Southern Highlands we cannot become complacent about the state of the health services being offered in the Highlands. There are still issues of a more appropriate use of the operating theatres at Bowral Hospital to reduce the waiting list for elective surgery. And while Bowral Hospital is given a tick for renal dialysis does it really happen as much as it should?

Let's keep vigilant about our health service and remember - the NSW State election is only about 43 days away!
