UIC; I sent her an email through the patient portal before my appointment explaining that I wanted a salpingectomy (since I was 12) and why, and indicated that I understood it was a permanent procedure, I know LARCs exist, and I still prefer permanent and irreversible contraception. I had brought the ‘new’ ethics guidelines with me to my appointment but didn’t need to make my case any further after sending that message.
