Take the Lincoln Tunnel instead.
I’m right there with you, Dame Helen. The same thing happened to me.
“There is a close-up of a woman having a baby, a close up straight up her vagina, and that’s all you see, and these are thirteen year old boys and girls, and its bloody and disgusting. Within thirty seconds two boys had fainted and the lights went on and they were carried out. I put my hands over my face because I realised I couldn’t watch this.”
The actress, who is married to American director Taylor Hackford, said she was deeply affected by the film: “I swear it traumatised me, I haven’t had children and I can’t look at anything to do with childbirth, it absolutely disgusts me.”
Is she disgusted by gallbladders? This is straight out of Dr. Moreau … or Hannibal Lecter.
MONDAY, Sept. 17 (HealthDay News) — French surgeons report removing a gallbladder through a woman’s vagina, joining a handful of surgeons around the world who have tried the novel technique because it eliminates visible scarring and minimizes postoperative pain. In March, surgeons at Columbia University in New York City performed a similar operation, and, last week, so did surgeons at the University of California, San Diego. The procedure has also been used for removing the appendix.
What next? Your Costco groceries? Even kids, for the most part, are “optional,” as is everything else that goes in/out … but not through. Seriously. That is just plain wrong. What sick bastard came up with the “let’s try this exit” approach? I’d rather have a scar on my side then a gallbladder in my - oh, I can barely even write about this. Dame Helen, where are you?
Thank the Virgin Mary that there is someone on our side:
“As a woman, I find it distasteful and invasive to have the vagina used as a midtown tunnel for the traffic of surgery, simply because there are a few surgeons who are looking to find something new to do,” said Dr. Christine Ren, an assistant professor of surgery at New York University School of Medicine.
Think of it this way: knowing that a gallbladder had taken the tunnel would you stop at that rest stop for a bite? I think not.
Dana Johnson, who had her gallbladder removed through her vagina at the University of California at San Diego on Sept. 11, applauded the technique. “I think it would be more gross to have it taken out of my mouth, but that’s just me,” said Johnson, 42.

Ooooh! A sweetmeat!
What does a gallbladder look like? Would I know one if I had it in my mouth?
It’s like a small marble.
Imagine a testicle, only Republican.
No, no - that’s a gallSTONE. A gallbladder is a small pouch … like a makeup bag. That’s a bad analogy, but I’m guessing it’s about the size of a small hand.
From Wiki:
The gallbladder (or cholecyst, sometimes gall bladder) is a pear-shaped organ that stores about 50 ml of bile (or “gall”) until the body needs it for digestion.
The gallbladder is about 10-12 cm long in humans and appears dark green because of its contents (bile), rather than its tissue. It is connected to the liver and the duodenum by the biliary tract.
So, OK, points for the “bag” comment (I was thinking more along the lines of it’s general shape, so probably should have said “scrotum”)
Good lord! There’s NO WAY that’s traveling thru my midtown tunnel. That’s disgusting.
I shiver at the thought of new gallbladder removal procedures for men.
This reminds me of my teenage ambition to manage an all-girl 80s cover band. I only came up with the name and not the chickadees:
