Doing Harm: The Truth about How Bad Medicine and Lazy Science Leave Women Dismissed, Misdiagnosed, and Sick by Maya Dusenbery

challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

This is an excellent and deeply reported examination of how sexism, racism, and the intersection of the two in the medical field leave women sick and in extreme cases, dead. The writing is engaging and interesting, never dry or dull. The author doesn't delve too deeply into trans issues, but explains early on that it's hard to do because of the lack of available studies and information. So, she does focus mainly on cis women, but I think all AFAB folks will find validation and the knowledge to better advocate for themselves.
