The Girl Who Cried Pain
Episode 1
Monday, 12 April, 2021
Misconceptions about women and the prejudices against them have haunted the sex since the times of ancient Greeks. This podcast explores about how these common judgements and prevailing stereotypes continue to affect women today, specifically in healthcare. A striking number of women increasingly struggle to find a right diagnosis among doctors and institutions because of an outdated system and age-old prejudices. Steps the United States can take to prevent this are updating standards/medical records to match those of all women, help women be more assertive, and educating medical professionals and patients seeking diagnosis/treatment.
