I hate this for them
The wildest part is women cannot see male doctors. So when there are no more women doctors, then what?
They know what and they don't care
Outside of the cities, beyond the reach of government and modern living, it was kind of like this. Wives work the farms and had children, that was it.
Sometimes the caring husbands would bring their wives and children to the nearest US outposts and FOB’s for healthcare. Our female medics and PA’s (only on bigger bases) would treat them. In emergencies we would help. I’ve patched a little girl up for transport (shrapnel wounds) and her pops didn’t have a problem at all.
It sucks because the rural dikkheads closest to Pakistan backfired the rest of the country as the drawdown went on. Now they’re unhappy they’re being dominated again, their wives don’t necessarily belong to them anymore.
