Doctors should be smarter than this

Stupid things in medical texts:

Potential benefits of oral contraceptives: decreased pregnancy.

Really? Surprising.

Congenital Deficiency of 5-alpha-reductase
Advantages
Small prostate
No prostate cancer
No male-pattern baldness
Disadvantages
Ambiguous genitalia in male fetus (poorly formed penis and persistence of vaginal pouch)

Well, that’s really a toss up. I can certainly see the advantages of having no DHT.

It’s test week. Why else would I post medical stuff?
