Doing Harm: The Truth About How Bad Medicine and Lazy Science Leave Women Dismissed, Misdiagnosed, and Sick, is an excellent and eye-opening book that gives us insight into women's health throughout history and the struggles we have gone through to be taken seriously.
This book shows us how men are the standard, excluding women because of their wombs and reproductive potential; being considered unreliable informants of their own health and bodies.
It tends to be a bit repetitive, but I find it fascinating how we continue to fight against this situation. Women have been the subject of mistrust, and medical mistreatment throughout history. It is time to change this.
This is a must read book.
Tw: health issues, medical gaslighting, and mistreatment by doctors and the healthcare system.
