Title: The Cycling Woman Post by: Doc809 on February 25, 2013, 06:12:28 AM Rode the phat gurl to a weekend license renewal/continuing education workshop in the metromess. The topic was treating the endocrine system in the cycling woman. Not pre-puberty, not post-menopausal. The CYCLING woman. The endocrine system is very complex so a good opportunity to learn something while getting the required hours complete. All was going well until some very educated "dr" ask if the same treatment protocols were applicable to women who participated in other forms of sports as well. No wonder our healthcare system is so screwed up.

Title: Re: The Cycling Woman Post by: WilliamRS on February 25, 2013, 11:18:48 AM i was slow on the uptake and like the 'dr' you ridiculed i thought the post was about women who ride bicycles.
is "cycling woman' a medical term? What i mean is, is it a professional term, or is it medical slang? typing "cycling woman" into google brings up pages of bicycle related relsults. typing "medical term for cycling woman" brought up several results, most (the ones that weren't about bicycling) included 'menstural' along with the word 'cycle' Title: Re: The Cycling Woman Post by: Doc809 on February 26, 2013, 05:34:11 AM Thanks for the questions WRS. This was a weekend for renewal of medical licenses and everybody in the room was a dr. We had just spent 16 hours discussing menses, estrogen, progesterone, lutenizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, testosterone, menstrual cycle abnormalities, etc and the treatment protocols for each. I just thought it was funny as #$%^^& that this guy could sit in that kind of discussion for that amount of time and still think we were talking about bicycles when that word had never been introduced into the study.

Title: Re: The Cycling Woman Post by: RainMaker on February 26, 2013, 06:10:13 AM Was there any discussion of drugs for men to help them deal with cycling women? ;D I usually prescribe a 6 can regimen for light cases, a 12 can regimen for moderate to severe cases and up to a fifth for extreme situations. These medications are available over the counter at most grocery or package stores.

I once threatened to move out of the house once a month....... I could get a room in the BOQ with a new queen bed, cable/color TV remote, wet bar-fridge, lazyboy and a big swimming pool outside, for $8 a night. She thought I was kidding.

L it is funny. I understand why it is funny. I can aslo see how someone can come in with the mindset (based on the seminar title) that everything discussed was related to women participating in a particular sport and then being curious about the effect of other sports. Especially when the 'cycles' of athletic women actually are affected by competitive level activity. |
