How "Bad Medicine" Dismisses and Misdiagnoses Women's Health Symptoms

[RandomAccess]

2. Medical science views women as

abnormal versions of men where physiology and health are concerned. And of course, the typical male inability to "understand" women on any level (personal, professional, medical), and their innate frustration about that and about not having ALL the answers, results in blaming the victim by relying on those old excuses like "hormones" or "hysteria" or "stress" or "all in your head" diagnoses.

It's infuriating, to say the least. And very, very damaging. For example, heart attacks are the number 1 cause of death in women, and yet our symptoms are usually very different from what men experience. Doctors don't even necessarily KNOW that, let alone use that knowledge to save lives.
