A pathologist examines two dead young women and passes sections of organs to pathology for examination. The pathologist examines the specimens and questions the accuracy of the collection of tissue. When the collection has been confirmed the answer is devastating. The impact of this finding stretches far beyond the lives and families of the two women.

Marcy Davis called Kim Bishop. “How are you doing? I’ve not heard from you, did you get the problem fixed?”
“Something like that. They called me, I paid them. They did it.”
“Good. When do you get back to playing? I was out and hit some today. Last week I still had a couple of minor twinges if I reach for a real high one or if I jump and come down. I bought a tight control panty and that went away. I suggest you get one. You should be hitting them in a couple weeks. Isn’t it wonderful to not have periods?”
“Things didn’t go right. I still have my uterus. Everything went right till I got to the hospital. They fixed my uterus and I still have it. And I have a midline incision that feels like it is coming open every time I move. I’m not going to be playing for at least three months.”
“What went wrong?”
“I don’t know but they claim I can still have kids, I will be scheduled for an implant as soon as I heal up. That will probably be in three to four months. That means a year from now they cut me open again to take the baby out because with the scars on the uterus I can’t do regular labor. It will be two years till I can play.”
“I’m glad they didn’t do that to me. I feel great, in fact I feel better than I did before. I will be playing in four weeks.”

Kim Bishop was home watching TV. She tried exercising earlier in the morning but her belly hurt every time she moved. With the inactivity she gained five pounds in the last month.
The phone rang. It was a woman who called herself Marcy. “I’d like to get together with you. Can you meet me?”
“Sure.”
“Meet me at the Bay Area Bar in an hour.”
She pulled on a coat and headed out in her car. She parked near the bar, got out and walked down the street. A block from the bar someone motioned to her, she stepped into an alley and they entered a side door in a building. The two women from Harrisburg were there.
“We are sorry that your surgery didn’t work out. We guarantee our work. We can’t fix the midline but we can make sure the uterus comes out this time. At least that will get you off the list and let you work toward a come back.”
