This is a feeling women know far too often, and it can have a substantial impact on your health and your ability to heal yourself. Maya Dusenbery saw countless women suffering because of the medical communities lack of knowledge, or lack of trust when it came to women’s diseases, and decided to do something about it. Doing Harm: The Truth About How Bad Medicine Leave Women Dismissed, Misdiagnosed and Sick is the book you need to stop being disregarded and start feeling better, and Maya is here to share her wealth of knowledge with us today. Maya is exposing the neglected conditions of women's issues in the medical field, revealing gender biases that are negatively impacting women's treatment, and explaining exactly how you can start forcing others to take women's voices seriously. Maya is all about exposing the systematic injustices of our medical system and empowering women to find a treatment that is made for them, instead of forcing women to conform to the masculine medical standard. She believes in the power of women sharing their experiences around disease and misdiagnosis, and breaking down the institutional issues found in the traditional medical system to find healing for all types of people. While it is not easy to question the medical professionals we have been told are all-knowing, it is really up to you to advocate for yourself and provide resources to be the most informed about your health as possible. A healthy dose of skepticism and awareness is what Maya believes will help you reconnect with your bodies innate ability to heal, and shake up the conventional medical system for good.
