things I did not know about

Multiple systems. A glossary of multiple systems.

I do not feel up to a description of something I did not know existed 15 minutes ago.

However, I discovered that something I did know about has a name, at least in some groups. Apparently being violated by your doctor, nurse, midwife, or other individual during birth (in the sense of having of actions performed on you without your consent) can be referred to as "birth rape." (After reading hideous descriptions of obstetric care on "My OB/GYN said what?" -- sorry can't remember the html address -- I am just glad that I am not the only one who is outraged by this.)
