Doing Harm: The Truth About How Bad Medicine and Lazy Science Leave Women Dismissed, Misdiagnosed, and Sick by Maya Dusenbery
4.0
Very informative but very dense.
There are a lot of stories from different women about how they were (not) treated by health professionals and their pain was brushed off, belittled or just simply attributed to female hysteria.
The book is about the American health care, and health care professionals but unfortunately this negligence and lazy science is often the case in other countries as well. As a middle aged woman who grew up in Eastern Europe I have had good and bad experiences with the Healthcare system and especially with gynecologicists. In the US though I haven't gotten any remarks during any of my visits.
But even though I may not have had negative experiences so far that doesn't mean that it won't happen in the future - to me, or to my family.
