"appeasiotomy" for "episiotomy"

An episiotomy is a small incision made during birth to ease the passage of the baby. The word is composed of Gk ἐπίσειον, episeion, for the pubic region, and -τομια, (-tomy), to cut. More than two thirds of mothers undergo this procedure in NA. The notion of easing the pain and difficulty associated with birth may be behind the image of an appeasiotomy.

Celeb pregnancies i really hope YOU deal with an appeasiotomy, hemorrhoids, the general fatigue, post partum depression, and having an extra 30 lbs

Doctor ratings Anyway, she proceeded to yell at me while I was in labor about how I should let her do an appeasiotomy.
