The medical system today is increasingly complicated and impersonal, and unfortunately, it is not going to be less so in the future. The rules of engagement have changed in medicine, but no one has bothered to inform patients. Much is written about Black women and women of color, be it our increased cancer risk, our alarming obesity statistics, or our disproportionate risk of cardiovascular diseases, but very little is written for us, and a diagnosis from Dr. Internet doesn't cut it. Talk about being sick? Dr. Sharon Malone is sick of that. Grown Woman Talk is for allwomen who have often not been seen or heard. For more than three decades as a practicing Ob/Gyn in the nation's capital and now as chief medical officer of Alloy Women's Health, Dr. Malone has served women across the city all the way to the upper echelons of power. In this book, she gives us the nudge we all need to become effective and efficient advocates in getting the care we deserve. Part medical memoir of the Malone family experience tracing from the Jim Crow South to the highest corridors of powerin Washington, part relatable clinical scenarios of women from all walks of life and experiences, and part practical medical and logistical advice, this book is a reliable and easy-to-understand resource. In addition to information on ailments like fibroids, cancer, heart disease, and perimenopause, it also helps us navigate the medical establishment of today with advice on how to choose a doctor, why our family's health history matters, and how to decide among treatments. Combining emerging practices with the latest research the book addresses many women's greatest gap, the one between what they believe and what is actually true. With a combination of medical expertise, up-to-date science, and lived experience, Grown Woman Talk addresses the most commonconditions women over forty deal with. And it helps women, especially Black women, identify the power they have and how to use it to chart a path to improve their health outcomes and thrive"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Malone, Sharon, $d 1959- $x Health. 600 10 $a Malone, Sharon, $d 1959- $x Family. 650 0 $a African American women $x Health and hygiene $v Popular works. 650 0 $a African American women $x Medical care $v Popular works. 650 0 $a African American women $x Treatment $x Treatment $v Popular works. 650 0 $a Women $x Health and hygiene $z United States $v Popular works. 650 0 $a Women's health services $z United States $v Popular works. 650 0 $a Women $x Treatment $x Treatment $v Popular works. 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Malone, Sharon, 1959- $t Grown woman talk $d New York : Crown, [2024] $z 9780593593875 $w (DLC) 2023048708 941 $a 15 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240725010141.0 952 $l DAPG173 $d 20240724020936.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20240720010132.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710065318.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20240601011949.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240529010313.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240524011520.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20240523010228.0 952 $l RQPC397 $d 20240517013950.0 952 $l YAPC771 $d 20240514012216.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509013621.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240503010548.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240502012143.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240502010440.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20240402013350.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=85C89F30BB4F11EE9799A7D243ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
