Tubal.org acts as portal for all women and groups interested in learning about and working on these issues and is a collective hub and central resource center and a social networking subscription membership site.

• Vikki Hufnagel, MD: Notable Doyen Delegate to the CPTwomen. The first MD to come forth and fully expose and document female surgical abuses in the United States was Dr. Vicki Hufnagel, an OBGYN. In the 80’s, Hufnagel defined and reported on post tubal ligation syndrome (PTLS) to peer review medical associations and wrote the first papers describing a need to change the informed consent to inform women about this condition.
