they thought I was nuts. I told the hospital, in writing, that I had alcoholism, mental illness and substance abuse in my family and didn't want to pass it on. The hospital said it wouldn't do it for any reason whatsoever. PP didn't ask why I didn't want children, but had me talk to their counselor to be sure I knew it was permanent. It was quick. They have my business for life, as long as they'll have me.
