In this episode, we tell the story of the first insulin injection 100 years ago yesterday. Then we discuss the history of pap smear guidelines and the reasons for current recommendations. We also discuss the harms associated with doing too many pap smears. Finally, we discuss the reasons why some practice changes are adopted rapidly by OB/Gyns while others languish for decades. Oh, and Betty White of course.
