Healing Out Loud With Jackie Shea

Maya Dusenbery, author of Doing Harm, feminist writer, knowledgable AF Doing Harm: After her  Rheumatoid Arthritis diagnosis, feminist writer and author of Doing Harm, Maya Dusenbery, intuitively dove into the topic of women's health—not so much the uterus and the ovaries but a more realistic and extensive look at women's health. Why are women treated differently in the ER and the doctor's office? How did medicine become a wealthy, white, male profession? How does the old diagnosis of hysteria still play a role in medicine today? Maya answers these questions and so much more in this must-read. She uses statistics, research, personal hypothesis and heartbreaking stories from other women to make the case that bad medicine and lazy science leave women dismissed, misdiagnosed, and sick. In this episode we discuss all of this plus, of course, self-care in the midst of self-advocacy.
