Krátky popis
'Inspiring and invigorating' JULIA BUENO'Deeply unsettling and
affecting' CATHERINE AIREYGot endometriosis? You should have a
baby!Painful post-birth prolapse? Well, you had a baby. Let down by
doctors? Try our wellness candle!Episiotomy scar? Why not trim your
labia too?It?s a stitch-up. And we demand better.As Emma was being
sewn up following the birth of her second child, the midwife
paused, looked up, and said the worst thing anyone has ever said to
her: ?Your vagina?s fallen out.?After receiving a vague diagnosis
of ?prolapse?, she spent the next two years being shunted between
specialists. The solutions on offer ranged from kegels to
hysterectomy and even labia trimming. Some doctors simply shrugged
and said there was nothing they could do.Women around her spoke of
similar experiences: mothers told that pain was the price of
parenthood, trans women blamed for ?wanting a vagina in the first
place?, Black women disbelieved and dismissed, intersex men and
women lied to by their doctors. The mesh scandal that injured
thousands. The ?love doctor? who performed nonconsensual vaginal
surgeries.Over and over again, Emma heard stories of women in pain,
bleeding, dying, failed by the professionals who were supposed to
help them. Medical misogyny kills, and leaves many more in agony,
unable to live full lives. The Stitch-Up tells their stories, and
calls for better research, healthcare options, language and
treatment, arguing that being female should never be a death
sentence.
