Chargement... Sex Matters: How Male-Centric Medicine Endangers Women's Health and What We Can Do About Itpar Alyson J. McGregor MD
![]() Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. ![]() Person in my online pregnancy group: "I have such and such symptoms. What can I take?" Other person: "Ask your Dr. for a prescription for such and such." McGregor: "Only 8 medications have been tested on and approved for pregnant women." Also a fun fact, medications are never tested on old people because they are often taking other medications that can affect results. Also-- generics are always tested on healthy, young men. Three stars because lots of the info was a repeat for me. What can I say? I'm obsessed with our messed up system.

Exposes that all medical models -- in research and practice -- are male-centric and shows how the biological, biochemical, psychological, and neurological differences between men and women affect issues such as preventative care, emergency care, drug prescriptions, and pain management. Also looks at how race, class, and gender identity are disproportionately affected by this. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
