“The fact that Dr. Greenfield apologized for me, for my 'taking offense' to his op ed without any insight into the implications that a physician leader advocated for unprotected sex, disturbs me.”

—DR. COLLEEN BROPHY, professor of surgery at Vanderbilt University who resigned in protest from the American College of Surgeons (ACS) after its president, Dr. Lazar Greenfield, published a Valentine's Day-themed editorial suggesting that unprotected sex would make a better gift to women than chocolate. Referring to research finding that college women who have unprotected sex are less depressed than those who use condoms, he speculated that semen may have mood-enhancing effects. The ACS announced Greenfield's resignation Sunday. [via MedPage Today]
