Summary:
"A scorching examination of how we treat
endometriosis
today. Have you ever been told that your pain is imaginary? That feeling better just takes yoga, CBD oil, and the blood of a unicorn on a full moon? That's the reality of the more than 190 million people suffering the excruciating condition known as
endometriosis
. This disease affecting one in ten cis women and uncounted numbers of others is chronically overlooked, underfunded, and misunderstood -- and improperly treated across the medical system. Discrimination and medical gaslighting are rife in endo
care
, often leaving patients worse off than when they arrived. Journalist Tracey Lindeman knows it all too well. Decades of suffering from
endometriosis
propelled the creation of
BLEED
-- part memoir, part investigative journalism, and all scathing indictment of how the medical system fails patients. Through extensive interviews and research,
BLEED
tracks the modern endo experience to the origins of medicine and how the system gained its power by marginalizing women. Using an intersectional lens,
BLEED
dives into how the system perpetuates
misogyny
, racism, classism, ageism, transphobia, fatphobia, and other prejudices to this day.
BLEED
isn't a self-help book. It's an evidence file and an eye-opening, enraging read. It will validate those who have been gaslit, mistreated, or ignored by medicine and spur readers to fight for nothing short of revolution."--Publisher.
