Did I mention I love murder? I also have trust issues. Particularly with doctors. Since men took over Women's Healthcare it's been little but abuse, neglect, misunderstanding, gaslighting, and death. My own history includes two doctors who nearly killed me with prescription medications, an inability to treat stress headaches, years of missed eating disorder diagnosis and calling the symptoms psychosomatic, and an involuntary c-section (almost). The "almosts" were not because my doctors corrected their errors or did anything: my mother recognized one prescription was way too high of a dose, paramedics saved me from the second prescription, and I refused the c-section and changed doctors before my son was born. So a book all about how scientists are fallible is right up my alley!
