Summary:
Exposes that all medical models -- in research and practice -- are
male-centric
and shows
how
the biological, biochemical, psychological, and neurological differences between men and
women
affect issues such as preventative care, emergency care, drug prescriptions, and pain management. Also looks at
how
race, class, and gender identity are disproportionately affected by this.
"
Women
are different from men in every way, from their DNA on up --but the
male-centric
model of
medicine
is so pervasive in our healthcare systems, procedures, and philosophy that many don't even realize it exists. Most people simply assume that
women
's differences are already being taken into account -- yet nothing could be further from the truth." --Jacket.
