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

challenging informative slow-paced

2.25

4 hours 12 minutes - This book focuses on a very relevant and important issue, but unfortunately is very boring to read. The author has certainly done her research on the topic, but it is presented in a way which is repetitive and dull most of the time. Dusenbery does cover a lot of ground on sexism in medicine, and how this might intersect with other things such as race, class, transphobia, etc., but many parts of this book could have been cut without any impact on the message the book is trying to convey. Definitely makes me want to read more into the subject though.
