Today We Remember Anarcha Westcott

 



 Today We Remember Anarcha Westcott

Today  we honor Anarcha Westcott. She was a 17 year enslaved 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 bravery she wouldn't have survived those procedures. We couldn't imagine doing surgery on someone without some form of anesthesia. Black history is America's history. The story must be told even when it's not pretty.
