Sexism in medicine: Medical misogyny, gaslighting and trauma in women’s healthcare Part 2
Dismissal, gaslighting and biological sex discrimination between male and female patients is a path to medical trauma. It prevents women from reporting symptoms and interferes with and delays treatment and can lead to more negative health outcomes across the board. Not to mention triggering long term chronic pain, as well as mismanaged metabolic diseases as we age.
