...expense the shah was established in Rome with his wife, Soraya, and told to hold himself ready to return to his country. While in Rome, Soraya received a visit from an American gynecologist who had been summoned from the United States by Kim Roosevelt. She had been trying for some time to produce a son and heir for the shah, and had failed to do so...

Because women can schedule appointments only one time during four-week periods, and because the gynecologists must frequently cancel appointments to deliver babies--about 30 per month--women can wait for months before they finally see a gynecologist. Winig, however, says he was unaware that many women have had difficulty procuring IUDs until interviewed, and says he may bring the problem up at a UHS board meeting...
