014 Please Believe Me, Doc! Pt 2
Episode description
Women face particular challenges when it comes to getting the medical community to take their issues and pain seriously and this month, we're getting personal about it. In Part 2, Bree shares her personal history with PCOS, a very unknown and underdiagnosed condition. We also touch on how implicit bias can affect the diagnosis and treatment of women in different intersections. Finally, we turn to our listeners once again for some of their first-hand experiences. We hear from Heather, who had problems getting diagnosed with asthma, and Cassie, whose doctor wouldn't see past her weight to treat her.
