Unwell Women — Medical Authority, Bias, and Disbelief (Audio)
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.
This episode explores Unwell Women: Misdiagnosis and Myth in a Man-Made World by Elinor Cleghorn as a systems-level analysis of how medicine historically distrusted women’s pain — and how those patterns continue to shape outcomes today.
