Pain and Prejudice: A Call to Arms for Women and Their Bodies by Gabrielle Jackson

5.0

This was a great read and explained so much about the systemic gender bias in healthcare. I appreciated so much seeing endo described as the debilitating disease it is. I also learned a lot about why the medical profession has the attitudes it does toward people (namely, women, non-binary and trans people) with chronic pain. I felt both seen and incensed at the same time. I wish every doctor had to read this book. I recommend this book to anyone interested in the way the healthcare system treats anyone who isn’t a white, cis-male and the history behind the implicit bias in healthcare.
