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."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Endometriosis $x Treatment. 650 0 $a Endometriosis $x Care. $x Care. 650 0 $a Discrimination in medical care. 650 12 $a Endometriosis $x therapy. 650 12 $a Physician-Patient Relations. 650 12 $a Attitude of Health Personnel. 650 22 $a Sexism. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Lindeman, Tracey. $t Bleed. $d Toronto : ECW Press, 2023 $z 9781778521461 $z 9781778521461 $w (OCoLC)1345253282 941 $a 1 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20230623010605.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=43839C7E118B11EEB9895B702CECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
