Almost all Health research is performed on men, meaning thousands of treatments are designed for male bodies only. Meanwhile, women are dismissed at the doctor's office, told their concerns are all in their heads. Doctors who focus on women's health are penalized financially, as procedures performed on men pay more. These are just a few of the alarming facts revealed in this debut from acclaimed Guardian reporter Gabrielle Jackson, who shares her personal story of endometriosis-a common disease doctors know little about-alongside interviews with medical practitioners and her own dogged research. A groundbreaking exploration of how women are underserved by the systems that should keep them healthy, Pain and Prejudice explains how we got here and where we need to go next. Book jacket.
