indications for surgery, methods of surgery, results of surgery, adjust- ment of patients etc. I explained that there was a whole group of people, TVs of course, whose sole pattern was in the gender area and who had gotten no play at all. As many of you will imagine, they got some play from me right then and there. Lots of the M.D.s present were general practicioners as well as psychiatrists and I preceded to give them a brief but basic education on the existance of TVs and the nature of the problem.
