Krátky popis
Did you know: women are 59% more likely than men to receive an
incorrect diagnosis when experiencing heart attack.Or: women are
more susceptible to pain medications than men, leading to higher
rates of addiction because doctors simply prescribe pain medication
in the same way.Or: among alcoholics, women are almost 100% more
likely to die due to alcohol-related diseases than men are?In a
field that, for millennia, has been dominated by men. The vast
majority of medicines and treatments that we use today were
designed for, and by, men and the myth that medicine is
gender-neutral has had terrible repercussions for women.In THIS
WON'T HURT, Dr Marieke Bigg takes a deep dive into all the ways
medicine is not gender neutral, using stories and experiences to
demonstrate how these flawed mindsets have paved the way for
sub-par treatment, and how prevailing attitudes in a patriarchal
world can have unexpected effects far downstream. From sex and
reproduction, to female bones and female pain, Marieke explores how
women's bodies have been ignored, misunderstood and misdiagnosed,
and asks the fundamental question: How can we make sure we do
better?Blending fascinating examples with historical and cultural
context, and with an eye to a better future, THIS WON'T HURT is a
must-read for anyone committed to making this world safe to
navigate for all.
