* Cancelled * Women’s Health – Sex Matters with Dr. Alyson J. McGregor
Chorleywood Library Lower Road, Chorleywood, Rickmansworth, United KingdomA clarion call about the dangers of medicine for women, as well as a manual for how women can get the right care for their bodies, with practical suggestions for what women can do.
An exposé and practical guide to help women take control of their own health to get the care they need.
Sex Matters tackles one of the most urgent, yet unspoken issues facing women's health care today: all models of medical research and practice are based on male-centric models that ignore the unique biological and emotional differences between men and women – an omission that endangers women's lives.
Leading expert on sex and gender medicine Dr. Alyson McGregor focuses on the key areas where these differences are most potentially harmful, addressing:
❖ Cardiac and stroke diagnosis and treatment in women
❖ Prescription and dosing of pharmaceuticals
❖ Subjective evaluation of women's symptoms ❖ Pain and pain management
❖ Hormones and female biochemistry (including prescribed hormones)
❖ How economic status, race, and gender identity are additional critical factors
