My pregnant wife has been really itchy lately, so she asked her doctor about it, who responded by prescribing her an anti-anxiety, sedative psych med.

This doctor basically tried to give her shut-the-fuck-up pills, instead of even attempting to address her questions about her itchiness. This is what passes for "practicing medicine" these days. Pathetic. Mrs. Nosferatjew will not be filling this prescription.

EDIT: for those of you out there who think what I've described here is cholestasis, it is not. Cholestasis is characterized by sudden intense itchiness WITHOUT a rash, and my wife has a rash, and has had one, that has spread, since this started.. What she is dealing with is most likely PUPPP:
