  Jul 23, 202620 min

  Mary Lisan had two C-sections in the early 1980s under very different circumstances: One emergency, one urgent, and two postpartum experiences that looked almost nothing alike. She spent four years being dismissed about a symptom she knew wasn't normal, figured out her son's food sensitivities through process of elimination before organic food sections existed, and had to get a notarized permission slip signed by her husband to have a tubal ligation performed during her own surgery.
