Beskrivning

Women's health is threatened by gender bias on three fronts: bias against women patients, bias against women doctors, health practitioners, and medical scientists, and bias against women as medical research subjects. Outrageous Practices, a highly acclaimed best-seller newly available in paperback, chronicles the history of a prejudiced health care establishment and shows how the current system remains captive to male-dominated medicine and research. The book examines how gender discrimination manifests itself in hospitals, physicians's and psychiatrists's offices, medical schools, research labs, government health-related agencies, and biomedical and pharmaceutical industries. KEY POINTS:o New paperback edition of a powerful book about gender bias in the medical establishment.o New preface by authors brings the issues up-to-date.

Recensioner i media

Women can only hope that this carefully researched book will rapidly become a historical document, and that those who read it will exclaim, "I can't believe this is the way it used to be!" Current readers - women, and men who care about women in their lives - will come away armed with a healthy cynicism about medical practices and the real need to challenge, question, and explore decisions made by medical practitioners. - Frances K. Conley, M.D. (Professor of Neurosurgery, Stanford University School of Medicine) An eye-opening look at medicine's treatment of women during the past two centuries... Certain to enrage and educate. (San Francisco Examiner-Chronicle)
