Keeping tabs on the latest health research is a huge part of my job, so I spend a lot of time reading medical studies. And every once in awhile, I come across a finding that seems so commonsensical, I can’t believe a study was commissioned on it in the first place.
This week’s contender: “Pregnant women who are lesbians want to be treated like any other expectant mother.”
I don’t doubt the intentions of the Swedish researchers who worked on this study were good – apparently, pregnant Swedish women who are lesbians reported that their health care providers were often distracted by their sexuality – but could anyone really be surprised at this outcome?
