”What Sherrie Palm has accomplished in this work is unique in the field of pelvic organ prolapse. She has combined the medical perspectives of a diverse group of innovative healthcare professionals and the patient perspective representative of the thousands of women who have shared their day-to-day experiences living with prolapse. For healthcare professionals, it gives the real patient perspectives that far exceed anything ever found in the medical literature. Symptoms absent from clinical research are brought into view. For patients, this is the ultimate educational primer. It addresses their problems with expert commentary on the state of the art and a glimpse of the future.”
